I am clutching but not with a pillow. I am happy with the decision still. Despite the pain and everything, I know it is worth it!

How are all you Pre And Post SURGERY friends doing on this Fine fine,day?🌈

Gas pain is no joke! Lungs were clear before going in yesterday. Liver was small and not fatty (OMG!). But man, this gas and spasm pain. And now that I am home, that coughing. Wow.

Thanks for checking up on me. Ended up getting my mom sick so... still someone sick in the house!

If my hunk of junk scale I have at home is correct I have lost 13 to 15 pounds. Stepped on it 3 times got 3 different numbers. Which would make me down a total of 30 pounds before surgery with 5 day to go.
I get to eat green veggies though, so it’s not all liquid. Haven’t had more then 300 calories all week. Protein Shakes aren’t really shakes I mix isolate whey Protein with Water only. If I could get to 40pounds down before surgery I swear I will do a somersault. Haha 😆 not really.

Yay I’m so happy you are my sleeve twin! I have been focusing on drinking as much as I can. Unfortunately that’s about 2oz an hour. My Vitamins right now are only one every 2/3 hours. No bm for me yet but I can feel it. My stomach pain are only where the stomach was removed. Did you have to take something to poop?

I’m on day 2 post op (sleeved 8/6) 1 & a half days in the hospital, I’m home now. Yesterday I could do everything for myself I even passed some gas ( gas pain is no joke). Today (8/8/18) I woke up on my own little pain and no assistance from anyone. I think it’s a mental thing. I also think it’s going to depend on how you’re feeling after surgery if you will need much help at home. The day of surgery I was soooooo weak but today I feel ready to walk some. A little gas pain and little stomach pain but other then that I’m doing fine for myself. Drinking is a bit of a challenge. Cold stuff worsens my gas pains hot stuff helps me pass gas. Overall, I feel great ! I will be back in no time. Now I’m just waiting to go #2.

Welcome to 'the other side'!!! Try warm broth or tea, then alternate with sf popsicles - hydration is the name of the game right now. A heating pad on your tummy while laying down feels great. You may find intolerances to your favorite shake after being sleeved, I could barely tolerate thick shakes ad went for clearerversions Isopure ready-made blue raspberry diluted w crystal light lemonade worked better for me. You will weather this stage and in 4 weeks won't give any of today's misery a thought!

To be honest I told the whole world I didn’t give fairy flying dust what people thought! My sister told me I was strong enough to do it on my own so I responded I’m strong enough to be fat forever tho. 🤷🏾‍♀️ family , friends or foe will either accept me or leave me alone.

People I’m not close to I’ve been telling them I had a procedure done due to a weak bladder.

Thank you! Same to you. 

Sending you well wishes and healing vibes friends. You are a true warrior.

Thank you ! I think I can have coffee in about 6 weeks. I can have Decaf now but I want the good stuff lol. No worries we will be back to coffee soon enough. I’m able to lay in bed with lots of pillows. I’m going to try crystal lite packs next week.

Wow! What a nice lady!

And Congratulations to you,both. You Are A Couple Strong Strong Ladies and I salute you. I hope next month to do as good as you 2 are doing!😝🌈😝

Didn’t really need any help after my rny. Just made sure grocery shopping was done etc BC you can’t lift for a while.

I had help with my kids, but as far as me personally? I don’t think I really needed any help

Either way I want to down a cold cup of Water, in due time!

Had surgery on 8/6/18. Went home from hospital 8/7/18 about 5pm. Even though home, still having gas pains and what not. Hard to lay down or go from laying to sitting/standing. Stomach is super sensitive regarding even liquid tylenol or taking other pills. Trying different shakes/broths/ices to see what reacts better but despite stomach growling from gas, I am not really hungry. And considering I am a poor drinker, this may lead to dehydration so I am working on it!

Cold drinks worsens my gas pain but helps my dry mouth. Hot Drinks helps me pass gas.

Each person is different.
I, personally could have gone back to work in two weeks. I was picking up my house, doing laundry and dishes and stuff the day after I got home from the hospital. I felt great.
Someone else will say it took them until week three to feel good enough to make it through a day.
Someone else might get a complication that has them back in the hospital with no return to work possible for over a month.
Most people go back to work around week 3-4.

No time at all .... like first day post op ...
