I’m late but good luck @zerocool today!!

Yea I am feeling good! There was definitely some rumbling and gas but not much else so I think it was a success ?

So happy you are feeling better!! I moved on to soft foods today because my Nutrionist told me I could do it as soon as I got home from the hospital, I just wasn’t ready until now. I had a 2 oz cup of sabra hummus so I am hoping it sits well!

I am not too bad I left the hospital yesterday but I was walking a lot the first day and yesterday though I couldn’t pass any gas, only burp. Today has been alittle better in that regard but I still have a lot of pressure in my chest and some shoulder pain. I am not hungry either, they gave me two meals at the hospital yesterday of broth, isopure, jello, a popsicle and tea. I had a few bites of broth and was able to finish one isopure. Today I am drinking a premier protein, i tried to do jello but that hurt alittle. Also trying to take in my water I am just going very slow with everything. I know these days of pain will be worth it though!

Sorry to hear that! I had my surgery Monday too, how are you feeling today?

I had my surgery at 10 am today it went really well!! When I woke up I was very nauseous and threw up/coughed up blood a few times (sorry tmi but wanted to share my experience) they stated that was normal because of the tube in my throat. I also had bad chest gas pain so I started walking about 45 minutes after surgery in the recovery room. The nurses were pretty surprised so I guess that’s good ? then they moved me up to my room where I walked again, since then I have switched between walking and sleeping most of the time and I am having very little gas now and my stomach pain is very small, about a 2 out of 10. I am so happy with my experience so far! I felt bad for my neighbor as they had the surgery as well and were begging for food or water. I am not sure they understood they wouldn’t be eating today. But I haven’t felt hungry yet! I brought dry mouth spray and that has been a life saver!

I had a great surgery and am recovering really well, hope you did too!!

I am !!

My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day clear liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery

August 13th for the sleeve pending approval!

Let me just mention: please do not send in another physician to give this talk if you are too busy...she asked first and I said ok so it is partly my fault but I didn’t really know we were going into the weight , this guy came in, got my name wrong, and once I corrected him proceeded to give me the speech on being obese. Then she popped in and they both lectured me with her even telling me I should eat like a rabbit, carrots and veggies... they did not ask what my diet or exercise was and only assumed I came home and ate cakes all day or something. I never went back to them and did not get a new doctor for years. I admit I was sensitive as well but I have a new doctor now and while she doesn’t bs me she isn’t condescending. I have high cholesterol so when she wanted me to get on medication and I wanted to try to lose weight on my own first she encouraged me but also explained the risk And I appreciated that
