I was Sleeved 10/7/11 and released from the Hosp 10/8/11 On A full liquid diet. I can drink fluid several sips at a time with no problem and eat some fairly thick protein pudding about 1/3 cup in about 15-20 minutes. I have 5 small incisions on my abdomen with a mild amount of bruising. I have no pain when at rest but with movement standing up or rolling over there is one spot that burns pretty good. I have a larger abdomen also I think it tends to pull on the incision areas and I can feel that to if it is getting close to taking my pain meds The liquid lortab does its job. I still cat nap throughout the day I try to time it during the 30 minutes before or after a meal so not to cut into the time I am trying to get my fluids in. I am down 4 lbs from day of surgery which is interesting since I got rid of "gallons " the night before thank you to the Citrus Of Mag. My Daughter goes in tomorrow so I pray she gets a good nights sleep and mends well to. DH and I have a hotel room for the night by the hospital so I have 8 protien puddings packed that is 60 gms a day. Not very lavish but will do and keeping it simple. Will get water on the road.
One of the weird things are I cannot stand artificial sweetner tastes now TOOOO sweet!
The only thing that drives me nuts with the smell is my son making a grilled cheese OMG Thanks to anyone reading this I know the thought process was all over
