You did the right thing. Electrolyte imbalances can be very serious. The ER can easily call your surgeon. Wishing you a speedy recovery

What is that?

oh me too! I did notice though when I was on fluids I craved eggs and cottage cheese. as soon as I had them it did not even come close to being as good as I thought, so I hope I still love salad the way I used to.I have a long time to go

I had really low energy until I started on soft foods like yogurt and cottage cheese. Once I started that I felt much better. You definitely could have thrush as the other poster mentioned. You need to get that treated right away or it will effect your oral intake abilities. They will give you a mouth rinse to swish and spit.

Wow that is amazing Congrats to you for all your hard work and diligence!

I am glad I found your post. I also ordered the Celebrate chewable vitamins and I have taken 3 doses and I have vomited each time. Tonight, I just was trying to dissolve it in my mouth but I ended up biting it and 5 min later was vomiting. Tomorrow I will try to mix with a small smoothie. I don't find them bad, it just seems to be a reaction of my stomach. Needless to say I am scared of vomiting so early in my recovery. A NUT friend of mine said that the B complex's are hard on the stomach in the way that they may be causing the nausea. I am in Canada and found it very difficult to get Bariatric vitamins here. Many of the sites also do not deliver to Canada. Celebrate was the only company I could find that would ship them here..

Could be a variety of things. Inflammation could be a culprit, this link may give you some things to ask your MD about. https://www.openanesthesia.org/fever/

Thanks this info is helpful!

Oops sorry for the above error,quoting with no reply. Congrats to all of you. Such an inspiration as I'm 24 hours post op right now.

I will PM you my number we will be at the same hotel!

I am assuming they checked your hemoglobin levels? Is your urine dark? I would assume dehydration would be the first suspect.

Thanks I am going to download that app. Will PM you my number

I just looked it up and we are 5 min drive from each other. I fly home on Saturday, so I think I will be back at my hotel Thursday?

No I have never been anywhere in Mexico and I am going by myself. I don't know any Spanish either Are you going by yourself?

Hi I am going to be flying in May 9 with my sx on May 10 at CER. Do you stay at the Mariott hotel?

Yes I am having the SILS May 10th at CER!

Thank you jane13 , I just noticed a whole bunch of thread headings. Should I be posting under the Mexico Sleeve thread? I guess I will figure it out as I go along

Hello I wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone for all of the wonderful information on this board. I have learned so much reading through the posts and have been very inspired by all of your tickers! I am flying from Midwest Canada and having my surgery with Dr F. Garcia. the week of May 9-13th. I was hoping there would be others that may be going that same week? I am going by myself so it would be nice to have some people to chat with over some fine broth and popsicles. lol Anyone have some essential info that they would like to part with? I am having the single incision sleeve but was wondering if I should plan on wearing a maxi dress for the flight home? Or do you think the pain would not increase in the abdomen by the waistband of some comfy pants? Any ways I cant wait! Thank you all again for your inspiring stories :0
