Hi all,

I hade my surgery at 10 am on Monday and I just got back home from the clinic. Monday is a daze, pain and sickness which was both quickly medicated against. Had trouble finding a comfortable position in the bed, but dozed off everynow and then anyway. Tuesday morning we where moved into our private rooms with extremely comfortable massage-beds and tv - felt like heaven. Tuesday was also a day focused on sipping; Water, juice and drink yoghurts, sip, sip, sip...I had a lot of heartburn and acid reflux, but got both tablets and fluids for that. Had a good nights sleep last night and after a shower this morning, I felt like a whole new person! Apart from acic reflux, I feel great!

I'm so relieved that all has gone so well so far, I can only hope it stays this way.

Congratulations on your new journey! From what I have read it only gets better. I can not comment as I am yet to be sleeved. Keep us posted on your recovery and experiences along the way.

Congratulations! Glad you're feeling better --

You sound good! Congrats

Thanks all,

I'f I didn't have the five small bandages on my stomach, I wouldn't know I've had the operation - I feel great! Spending the day drinking, drinking, drinking and then drink some more. My surgeon wanted us to focus on getting the fluids in during the first couple of days, and 1 litre of Water is the minimum goal. Then there is Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and snack which for the 10 first days consists of drinking yoghurts or Soups, 1,5 - 2 dl each time. For lunch today I made a really nice parsnip soup; just boil with some stock for 15 minutes, a run with the hand blender and then mix in some lactose free milk to make really runny. The trick of course being that it takes about 30 minutes to eat the 2 dl Soup to avoid the cramping pain.

Best of luck to all of you having the surgery in front of you, I hope you get through as well as I have so far.
