1 week post-op, down 9 lbs. I had also lost 10 lb between my pre-op visit and the day of surgery. My CW is 340. Four years ago I lost 80 lbs then I started school and gave up, gained it all back, became pregnant and gained back more. My weight when I had lost that 80 lbs was 313. I regret getting rid of all my "smaller" clothes because I will need them soon. My sister lost 100 lbs this year and gave me a bunch of her bigger pants but her big pants were size 18/20. Right now I'm in 26/28. I'll need to research a place that sales cheap pants. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I had the sleeve done because my doctor said my heartburn wasn't severe enough for the bypass. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I hope all goes well for you tomorrow. Try to get some sleep tonight because I had a horrible time sleeping in the hospital. I was exhausted by the time I was discharged and didn't get some real sleep until I was home. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. ???????? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

@@Dknal2, yes, I'm excited. I look forward to seeing your progress on here as well as sharing mine. I can't wait for this weak feeling to go away. As people keep telling me, "one day at a time". Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 12-5. Discharged on 12-7. My period came today. So far, I've felt very little nausea. I can take 15 ml of liquid hydrocodone every four hours but so far today I've only taken 2.5 ml. It just makes me too sleepy. The gas pain is a little uncomfortable. Incision pain isn't too bad, it feels tight where my big incision is. I have 5 incisions, one is from a hiatal hernia repair. I just constantly sip on something. I worry about becoming dehydrated. Sip, sip, sip & walk, walk, walk. ???? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Dknal2, how did your surgery go? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

@@Malin how did surgery go for you? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I was discharged yesterday. I feel tired today. I didn't get much sleep last night. Incision pain is mild, I haven't taken anything for pain since I went to bed last night. I also didn't realize I would have to give myself shots to avoid blood clots, twice a day. Hoping I feel a little better tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for asking. I'm still in the hospital. It's hard to describe the pain, tender & sore. I've been walking a lot. They took me off the morphine pump yesterday. Now they just give me pain meds PRN. I am hoping to go home today. I miss my sons. Nervous about my 19 month old wanting to climb all over me. I had a little nausea but never vomited. The gas pain went away after they let me walk. I carry my Water with me when I walk now because my mouth is so dry. I also get the hiccups while walking and burp while "eating".

I had my surgery yesterday and my throat is sore, too. ???? I hope you feel better. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved, today. It went well. I was a little nauseous when waking up. That lasted for a couple of hours. Incision pain is only noticeable when I sit up. I had gas pain in my right shoulder but my first walk fixed that almost instantaneously. Currently on my second little pixie cup of Water. 1 cup per hour for three hours. Water never tasted so good. ???? My mouth and lips were so dry. Something strange. The nurse in recovery offered me a saltine cracker. ???? Honest mistake. I guess I assumed they would be more familiar with my post surgery diet. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I get sleeved on Monday as well. Feeling a little anxious because both of my sons are sick and my throat is sore. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App
