Letsgetgoing2018 replied to chefpaige's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Last chance...sorry to hear. Thank god you didn’t have an abscess. No. By no means is this easy. It’s brutal at times for some of us. Hang in there. Best of luck for a speedy recovery. -

I’m praying for you. I know that feeling and it sucks. It will get better. One day at a time. -

I am day 3 post op. Lot of gurgling and some pain when liquids go down. Up until yesterday I vomited every time I changed positions but that has stopped. Tolerating jello and ice pops now in addition to the water. Haven’t tried juice or broth yet. Hoping each day gets a little better. -
Wonderful news. Looking forward to getting rid of blood pressure meds. It will happen. I’m confident I’ll get there.

almost 2 weeks post op and miserable
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to akost's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You poor thing. I’m Day 3 post op and was vomiting until yesterday. The pain and pressure in your chest is probably trapped air. I had it horribly right after surgery. I would suggest you call your doctors office if you’re having trouble keeping water down. It’s essential to keep hydrated. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Please keep us posted. Call the doc. -
Hospital bag
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to Drealeeanne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I definitely overpacked. Used my tooth brush toothpaste phone charger and wore same clothes home. Also used my slippers. That was it. You’re in for a short time - don’t need that much. -
Congrats. Take it easy and follow doctors orders. Good luck with a speedy and easy recovery!

Hi all. Today is day 3 post op. Feeling a little better every day. Taking my pills isn’t easy. Tolerating Jell-O and water. Slowly. Pain is bearable. Walking and resting as much as possible. -
The struggle is real: The Pre-op DIet and pre-surgery jitters
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to Tracy1978's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I found the pre op diet to be a little difficult for the first few days then it was ok. I had to do two weeks of shakes and one high protein meal. You can do it! Keep focused on the end goal. This is being done to drink your liver for safety during surgery. Good luck! -
Hi all. Day 3 post of for me today. These boards have been so helpful. I have a lot of family and friend support but I felt alone in the beginning. I am doing well...tolerating Jell-O and fluids. Taking a lot of pills and those make me a little nauseous but other than that the pain is manageable with walking and pain meds.
