    feeling SORE! so sore! in hospital 2 nights 3 days. they did a lot to me thats for sure all the procedures were successful but when i got home from hospital yesterday, i weighed myself in the evening and the scale said i gained 12 pounds!!! i was freaking out especially when I've been on a liquid diet all week and at hospital all i drank was Water for 3 days! i emailed my surgeon to let him know. But then today i weighed myself again and i dropped 5 pounds of the12 pounds i gained but I weighed much less at liquid phase. So i hope to get some answers on this. Some have said they bulk you up with so many liquids at hospital that it makes you gain weight and that i should wait a week or two and i will lose it. but I hope to feel better in the next few days . I knew i would have pain... but its all worth it , right? ;) But Im trying my best to get all my liquids in too. All 3 procedures took about 2 hours in the operating room. So glad to be home!

    Good morning y'all. I joined the losers bench. I wasn't nervous going in, but super sorry excited.

    I was so excited . Now I'm in such pain. My tummy hurts, my head, and I have an abundant amount of gas in my left breast area. I keep reminding myself that I need this.

    Sorry about your loss. I'm proud of you for continuing even after your loss.

    Hi there, it is 100% normal to gain after being in a hospital. They pump you so full of Fluid that your basically sloshing! Plus the anesthesia contributes to Fluid retention. Don’t stress it. Should come off quickly within the next week or two.



    Oh wow??? Really? I was so upset about it and still am after getting on scale 6 times and it reading a 12 pound gain. Thanks for putting me back at ease!

    Hey glamgirl! I was sleeved on 4/2 also. I had a hiatal hernia repair too. I'm still in a lot of pain and there is swelling over the large incision. I pray that you have a speedy recovery. Sip, walk and smile is the best advice I hears so far. My friend that I met at one of the nutrition classes had her sleeve on 4/2 also and she is in no pain. So it really just depends on each person and you had a lot of stuff done!! Hang in there and please keep us posted [emoji4]

    Thank you for the kind words . Sorry about your pain. It will get better. Also did u weigh yourself ? I drank Water only while in the hospital and I came home today and the scale reads I’ve gained 12 pounds!!! What??? I’m not happy about this. Is this normal?? How could this even be? I’m checking scale
    Again tomorrow and calling my surgeon! Has anyone ever experienced this?

    The liquid diet went great no probs. Maybe because my dad passed away and I was no way in the mood to eat anything[emoji22] bless Dad . [emoji120]

    All done! surgery was yesterday 4/2 had a triple surgery. Duo denal switch, gall bladder removed and hiatal hernia repaired.
    Woke up and felt a lot of pain in my stomach . Still pain day 2 here at hospital . They are keeping me another night . But I’m drinking my liquids and getting my walks in. Doing all three procedures was definitely no walk in the park ! But I’m glad my surgeon did it all in under 2 hours. So now I lay in the bed at hospital and takin my pain medicine every few hours . I’ll keep post updates for everyone[emoji3]

    glamgirl, it sounds like that's the best way to go! I had the hiatal hernia repair with my sleeve, but now I'm worried about my gallbladder down the road. Good luck to you on Monday. You are going to do great. Knock all this outta the park!!

    Aww thank you for those kind words of encouragement logicwand! :)

    great!! Im eating just about everything at this point honestly. Obviously small amounts but I'm on regular diet and have been for two weeks. (i started trying food early because i couldn't take the soft foods much longer, i get grossed out with certain textures) I also had a hernia repair during DS. ill have my gallbladder removed in about 5 months or so, but so far my dr is keeping an eye on it but so far I'm good. I didn't get it taken out same time cause i was already under for 7 hrs and my dr didn't want to keep me under longer for safety reasons.

    Gad you are doing great!!! :) wow so the DS surgery was 7 hours long? yikes! why so long?
