So now that I am on the other side the things I found invaluable were: Phone and charger (lots of loved ones checking in which was nice) Biotene spray Chapstick Earbuds (there was a woman across the hall moaning all night and calling for her daughter. Very sad but between the morphine and ear buds she sounded much further away) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The, yes unjury. Now I know why they included the thermometer thx Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Going to try Protein powder in broth today. Do I put it in after it is hot or before? I remember reading about consistency issues. Thx in advance! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How many grams of protein are you averaging? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, it almost feels like when I take a sip it sits at the top of a funnel and then five seconds later I feel it go through to stomach with funny noises. I wonder if that has to do with the hiatal hernia I had repaired. It doesn't hurt but is definitely uncomfortable Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine submitted same day as my last appt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How many ounces are you getting a day? I was sleeved same day and only got 26 oz yesterday Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is also my plan but the way I am struggling with Fluid I have a hard time believing I'll be ready. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can keep things down but just have to sip very slowly. I sip all damn day and barely got in 18 0z so far today. I was having trouble keeping track because I kept adding ice to my drink so now pour it into the 2oz disposable condiment cups and log it as soon as I'm done with each one. Good luck!

Ensure plus is added calorie and I think has 350 calories so you can add that. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am one of the ones having difficulty. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired (which I did not know I had). I take small sips and about 5 seconds later feel a strange sensation of the fluids going down. How long does it take for the swelling to go down?

My nausea was very mild. They have me two Meds through IV and sent me home with a prescription which I am taking to prevent any nausea. The woman in my hospital room was also sleeved by my surgeon same day and was puking her guts out. They gave her extra stuff including the patch but she was miserable. I think it is very individualized. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved Monday and also having lots of trouble drinking. Just feels very uncomfortable going down. A sugar free Popsicle was very helpful today. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved Monday and showered today (Wednesday) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Got home yesterday. Pretty miserable. Read it all here but always worse when it happens to you . Drinking is tough and pain is manageable but uncomfortable. Pretty nauseous but no vomiting and taking the meds. Hoping these next few days go quick. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In pre-op now, IV is in and just waiting now! Hardly nervous at all, just very excited to be on other side. Lost 8lbs on one week pre-op and didn't cheat once. I'm mentally prepared for this! Wish me luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Me! I report to hospital at 8am Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think 286 cal is awfully low. I'm still pre-op but maybe others can chime in with their calorie target in this stage. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys! I'm more just wanting to get it over with. Not too nervous but I'm sure I will be in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have not had that but make sure you are drinking enough water, it could be dehydration. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can't the hospital provide a heating pad? Feels odd to have to bring one from home. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
