Post Op and soooooo many questions!
javiles replied to shoppedude's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was also sleeved on 9/9! I'm on a 2 week liquid diet and CANNOT wait to move onto the pureed stage already! My incision farthest left is the one that gives me the most pain. According to my surgeon that is the site where they removed the excess stomach so it had to be stretched, hence the soreness. Hope you are doing well! -
I was sleeved on 9/9. I returned to work (desk job) on 9/14, definitely wish I had taken a few extra days off. I think I would be feeling much better if I was resting a bit more. Right now I am exhausted after work. However, overall I feel better each day!

The hospital basically provided everything I needed. Only things in my bag I needed was my pillow, chapstick, headphones, and extension cord for my charger! A nurse did bring me ear plugs in the night because she felt so bad that the patient next to me screamed all night! Good luck!

Embarrassing question for Isopure protein drink users......
javiles replied to Whitney1968's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm actually taking the liquid Isopure. I have the following flavors: Coconut Blue raspberry Fruit Punch So far they all taste well. I was only sleeved on 9/9 so I am still new to everything! -

I typically have to go to the bathroom soon after I drink the isopure, and yes I would say it was a strange dark "tar" looking color. -
I was getting really anxious all day long reading about pre op diets. My surgeon doesn't require one except fasting the night before. I'm going to start a diet based on the reviews I have seen on here. My surgery date is 9/1, less than a week away!!!
