Ahhhhh! By now you’ve gone in and may be done by now and in recovery! I’m thinking of you! You’re probably in right now. Sending light and positive thoughts your way.

I was a nervous wreck the night before surgery and finally decided to deep breath and calm down. I had faith in my surgeon and the hospital team who would be working on me. I had done my research on the boards and knew that I would probably be in pain when I came out of surgery but I would have the PCA pump and addl meds if needed. All turned out absolutely fine. I’m post op day five now and doing great. Being nervous is totally normal. Meditate. Deep breathe. Take a walk. This is a glorious new beginning!

Fluids in general. And I’m tolerating protein shakes.

Thanks. I’m tolerating my protein shakes now. Started day four as instructed. Can I try yogurt or pudding? I also was to try Bisque or creamed soup.

Not sure if this is allowed In the liquid phase but are creamed soups allowed with no chunks?

Hi all. Five days post op. Been drinking my water ice pops jello. What stage is the yogurt cottage cheese and pudding?

Glad you’re home. No,I hate giving myself the shots also but we certainly don’t want the alternative. Best of luck for a speedy recovery.

My doctor said start shakes day four.

Great! Keep up the good work!

You’re doing well. Has pain is normal. One day at a time.

Yes. I went to target yesterday and just walked around. Needed to get out. My soreness getting better every day. Are you tolerating shakes yet?

Hi all. Checking in. Had the sleeve on July 10th. Had some severe pain right after for the first two days and nausea and vomiting that subsided day 3. Now tolerating fluids, a shake, sf pops and jello. Things going welll. Hope the other July sleepers are going well also.

You’ll do great. Best of luck!

Hi there. I’m four days post op. Just started Shakes today’s. Finished about one and a half. Drinking my fluids the best I can. Get full real quick. Just be patient. It will get better.

How are you doing?

Hi there. Thanks for checking in. Yes. No fever. Tolerating protein shakes and water with crystal light. No nausea/vomiting. Sore belly but that’s normal. Hope everyone else is doing well also.

Four days post op. Doing well. Tolerating fluids ice pops jello. Have an appetite. No more nausea and the pain is bearable.

What type of surgery will you be having done? Depends on the job requirements you have. You can’t life for several weeks and you truly need rest to recouperate. I had the sleeve done on the 10th and I return to work on the 23rd. I am a registered nurse but work from home on the computer. Wanted to give myself enough time to rest and get into a good drinking pattern. Don’t be in a rush to get back. Listen to your body. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Well I’m day four post op. Every day has gotten a little better. Really drinking well. Having jello and ice pops as well as water. Will try broth later on today. No more nausea thank goodness. Pain is bearable. Mostly when I attempt to get out of bed. Just have to splint. I hope all of you who are freshly post op are coming along well. Each day is a better day. Stick with the plan.

Every insurance company is different. You are at their mercy. The day will come. Try to be patient. Keep us posted.

Had surgery 7/10. Looking forward to joining the losers bench.

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.
