But i also dont feel like explainig my surgery choice to a group of girls i dont know all that well.. do i just fake drinking throughout the night?

How long after surgery were you able to take pills like normal again? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did to! I was cussing at the nurse and regretting it but once that pain went away i started to realize i could get through it! If your still in the hospital, definatly take them up on the pain meds! Mine offered to give me stronger ones to which were nice cause they just knocked me out for a bit!

Hang in there i had mine a week ago & it gets better it really does. I was so nauseous and had so much gas pain in my chest it felt like a heart attack. But i am now getting around just fine and have zero pain! Just remember why you did it and it will get you through Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery one week ago toda.. been having a very easy time i cant even believe its only been a week i have been getting out of the house everyday to do a little walking but find myself getting very hot very quickly and i think it is due to the restricted amount of Water i can get down in a sitting. I almost just want to chug it but know that would hurt.. very badly. Did anyone else experience wanting more water than they could handle? I keep a bottle with me at all times but it never seems like enough Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My nurse told me to just put regular bandaids on after i airdry my staples in the shower & maybe some tape & gauze for the large incision Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery 2 days ago and have had very little issues with pain (minus the first day) my doctor really didnt tell me a whole lot about bandaging and scar treatment but im assuming if they are not oozing anymore i dont need to cover them? Did anyone else put on some neosporin with staples still in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
