I don't think so. I don't have to sip either. I can take pretty decent swallows. I just think its less swelling than others may have post op. Thankful for that because it has gotten easier everyday but I know my stomach is different but just adapting pretty well. You'll probably notice it more once you go to solids since liquid goes through so quickly.

Yeah its been so hot out that I've walked the mall everyday

I started driving day 2 post op. I never took any pain meds once I left the hospital and that was the only stipulation for driving that I received.

Me! Getting better though everyday. I was tired of shakes so I started adding more protein to my yogurt and broth and it dissolves really well.

I could sleep on my right side but not the left in the hospital. As of yesterday I could sleep on both so that would be 4 days post op.

I have been freezing ever since I got home. Which didn't help because I was always cold before surgery. So lots of sweaters for me!

Wow thats great! I usually have 1 to 2 shakes per day but I supplement with high protein yogurt which I add additional protein powder to and I also have broth and add protein powder to it. Sometimes I get tired of the sweetness of the shakes so I try to get protein in other ways. Only my large incision os sore but otherwise have not had any other issues and life is pretty normal. I'm glad you're doing well!

Does your surgeon have you on an antacids? Thats usually the norm right after. I take a 24 hr prevacid. I still have the feeling of indigestion but its usually in the few hours after I take the antacid and lasts for about 5 seconds on and off? We were sleeved the same day.

Hey Im also 4 days post op. How are you doing?

I started walking day after surgery. Usually mall walking but tomorrow I'll head back to the treadmill at the gym. I believe my surgeon said no weights for 6 weeks.

Just a tip for anyone that hasn't been sleeved yet. Take a small, soft pillow with you to the hospital. On the day you leave you can place it between you and your seatbelt. Just a little buffer for your sore tummy! I had a rectangular one that fit perfectly around the front of my tummy and saved me from a lot of bumps in the road!

I had my surgery on Wednesday and I will most likely go back on Monday. I don't have to do much more than what Im already doing so I should be fine. I didn't have any issues. Post surgery. Had some gas which was more discomfort than pain but I walked every 2 hours in the hospital and I take Tylenol if I have pain which I really haven't had. I would say at the highest my pain was a 3. Even walked around the mall for an hour day of discharge. Everyone is different so just listen to your body. Good Luck!

How did everyone do? I hope it went well.

Gotcha that can be difficult but Im sure you'll be fine by surgery date! Moving is a good calorie burn anyway [emoji6]

Great I'll check in on you!

Good Luck! I am in Texas

I was told to expect to be at the hospital 4-8 hours if all is well. I would prefer to go home because you never get any sleep in the hospital. Best wishes on your surgery!

Thats great! How is everyone doing? I'm definitely ready. Went shopping over the weekend to pick up the last few items and cleaned house. My surgery time was moved up so now I have to be at the hospital at 5 am.

Even better!

Gastroesophogeal Reflux disease or acid reflux

Sweet!

Not sure but I would just try the search bar. Good luck!

Had my EGD today. No issues so thats great! Pre op diet starts on July 5th: 2 shakes and a sensible meal. No concerns with being able to handle that so I'm ready!

Whoops wrong group lol
