Here I was on purees at hospital. Just Water for 24hrs after surgery, then a clear vege broth for lunch, then pureed chicken and yogurt for dinner--I believe that they won't let you leave until you're tolerating puree--even just 1-2tsps. They also do the barium swallow here to check for leaks during the op.

It's interesting the differences place to place!

Here in Nashville TN, i am on clear liquids until Thursday and then Full Liquids starting then for probably 2 weeks then I get to start the pureed stage for 2 weeks and then reintroduce food! My surgery was 2-11-19! It’s the hardest thing I have ever done!

So does anyone have the answer to “why” after surgery you are only supposed to have Clear Liquids and then full liquids...??

I am a person who likes to know the answer to everything! 🤷‍♀️

I have this terrible nagging pain in my left shoulder area but I am passing gas, burping, and had my first BM🤣🤦‍♀️ but no help! And, I can sleep on my right side but not the left! Had surgery 2-11-19!

I’m not sure what device you’re using but in my iPhone I press and hold for a second the post I want to quote and I get the pop out of the options to select. Once you do that you can just write in the box below it.

Oh my! Thanks I am on an IPHONE too! 🤦‍♀️

How do I reply to someone else’s post?

I had my surgery on the 11th, had a hernia fixed and went home on the 13th! The gas is brutal and getting in Clear Liquids until next Friday is hard! Well brain hard! But, looking forward to next Friday when i can add shakes! Woot! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I was sleeved on Monday and required an extra night in hospital due to not enough fluids and pain was making me nauseous! So praying today I go home! The pain first day was brutal but the more i walked and passed gas the better i felt! Now on to a healthy life! One sip at a time! 😁

How do you reply to a post?

Hope all this weeks sleevers/bypassers are doing great! My surgery is Monday and praying for success!

I am getting so nervous and excited! I have 6 days left... so nervous I have a twitch in my eye! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I have fibromyalgia really bad and on Tuesday last week was told no more diclofenac or Ibuprofen..... been in severe pain since... only Tylenol! I am not certain i can stand the pain! Even though I only have 8 days left til surgery! Prayers for pain relief! 🙏🏻😭

Pre-op tomorrow! Then 2 weeks I join the losers bench! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Can’t wait!
