They give you lots of IV fluids, that's prob where the extra weight is coming from. Try to keep a positive attitude, it will get better!

The worst part has been the gas pains & the dry mouth! I'm up & moving but def slowly & im still taking my pain meds around the clock. It's just hard to find a comfy position, I usually sleep on my stomach & right now I can't even get on my side.

Settled in at home, taking my pain meds around the clock-- the pain is significant. Doing my best just to stay hydrated--- really difficult to figure how much to drink, I have a medicine cup I'm filling up every 30min or so. Did anyone else have a drain? They pulled mine right before I went home.

I was told Tylenol only. But I have a huge bottle of liquid hydrocodone so I won't need anything else for a while

The pain has been pretty significant, I'm glad about the meds they give me! Overall doing well, will go home later this morning. Have walked the halls & being up & moving feels better than laying in the bed.
Can't believe it's done!!!

How did everyone do? I had some bad abdominal pressure yesterday but it got better throughout the day. This morning I have had some good burps and I have slight discomfort in the upper chest but not too bad. Walked a couple times yesterday and I will walk through the day today.

Not to bad. Cant really sleep. Recliner sucks. I'm not physically able to lay down in the bed I get severe shoulder pains when I try. Other than that I'm feeling really good.
I've also been walking a good bit.

My surgery date was April 12 but was bumped up to April 5th. I started Clear Liquids Friday and can have 3 Protein Shakes a day. I was ok Friday, but yesterday was a struggle. I never truly feel satisfied with just liquids and i'm already getting a little sick of Protein shakes. But i keep reminding myself that i'm doing this for a better me. Good luck everyone!

Well I only have to do liquids tomorrow but I soooo dread drinking that nasty stuff to clean my system out. I'll be up all night because I dragged ass today and didn't finish organizing my closet[emoji24][emoji24]

I've used isoprure bottles that has 40 grams of Protein when I had my sleeve. By itself it taste awful I mean awful. I added a packet of crystal light and made sure it was ice cold and it was decent. I can say what I loved before surgery the first time around I hated after surgery. Be open to trying different ones and don't buy too much of anything before surgery as you will be surprised how different your taste buds are after surgery. I read how that happened to folks but didn't think it would happen to me and low and behold it was 1000% true lol.

So I got the zero carb bottles-- there's flavors like blue raspberry, orange etc. The dietician told me some people add a little Water post op just cause they're a little much, but they're a great way to get your Protein. I've tried the orange mango & it wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either.

@emirn1 I ordered injury unflavored to use post op. It wasn't on my list to use pre op but I'm going to inquire today can I use it during pre op.
