Tboddy - I stayed overnight one night in the hospital. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

First night in the hospital was painful getting up to try and go to the bathroom. Day 2 they took me off IV and tried to have me swallow nausea pill. It came right back up. I had bad nausea for two days that I had to do nausea suppositories. That worked really well so I could keep down Clear Liquids. Only needed that for day three. I am now 11 days post op and doing good on full liquids. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My insurance required 6 months of weigh ins, nutrition evaluation, psychologist eval and blood test for stomach bacteria. I recommend you continually stay in touch with both dr office and insurance. I found out after doing all the requirements and dr submitting surgery date that my insurance required I enroll in the Bariatric Resource Services program they had! I had no idea about this requirement. It delayed my surgery almost 4 weeks. . I am happy to say I had my sleeve surgery on 10/20 and doing fine so far. Stay on top of your insurance company!! Best of luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am also in full liquids mode until 11/7. Today I went to a higher end grocery store in my town and bought 8 different kinds of soups that I can blend. Tonight was Cheesy chicken Enchilada that I added skim milk to. Delicious!! You may want to check out different grocery stores. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Smiley1968. The first two days post op were horrible with severe nausea. Each day has been better than the day before. Now I am enjoying creamed Soups and Isopure. How are you doing?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
