One week post op and still on clear liquids. Yesterday I sucked the seasoning off of 5 hot wing flavored pretzel pieces. It was amazing. LOL

I go in Tuesday for my post op appt and weigh in. I have heard if you weigh yourself too early you will still have fluid left from when you were in the hospital. I have already gotten so much from this group. Keep in touch about your progress!

I'm glad I read this--I stumbled upon the group because I was feeling the blues yesterday (my surgery was Tuesday). Just reading others stories made me feel better since its nice not to be alone on this journey. Feel free to reach out to me directly in a down turn since I could be in the same spot!

Wishing you the best! Please know you have people supporting you and here for you. I would rather pain over nausea any day so I feel for you. I had the sleeve surgery on Tuesday and I feel like each day there is more progress to my new normal. Hang in there!

I’m so sorry to hear about your pain! Mine definitely subsided since yesterday and you are a day behind me so fingers crossed you will be better tomorrow. I’m just have some minor incision tenderness. My doc gave me liquid pain meds so it helped greatly when I was still in pain at home. I try to roll to the side when sitting up in bed to help not strain the incision areas but I made that up and no one said that would help. :-) let me know how you feel tomorrow. Good luck!

Yeah, I might have to open the capsule and mix it with something. WIll try tomorrow.

My surgery was just this week on May 1st and so happy I found this group. I was able to return to work today, but from home. I look forward to getting to know everyone and sharing stories. I still have some minor incision pain and gas trapped, but otherwise feel fine. Anyone have trouble after swallowing pills? After I take my Prevacid i feel terrible for about 15-20 min. But then it passes and I am ok. I’m amazed I feel this well after 3-4 days!
