I'm doing well. Stomach pain isn't too bad today. I'm able to move around more. I'm still sipping on crystal light and water. I don't have an urge to drink or eat anything but SF popsicles. I can't wait until the gas pains subside. That's the worst of it all. I'm on Lortab for the pain and it really helps a lot, although it does put me to sleep. I appreciate your kind words and I'm wishing you all much success during your journey. I will keep you all posted;-) If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Sounds llike you are doing as well as expected. I hope when I am post op day 2 I can do the things you are doing. Great recovery!

I was sleeved on the 23rd. I do feel sore when the loritab wears off. I have been taking it every 4 hours. I may need a refill. I have no appetite so broth and crystal light are working great. I am a little concerned that i am coughing up some junk. Hope things continue to get better.

Congrats on your surgery. Hope you have a great recovery too!

Chelle...that cough could be a side effect of the pain medicine...some people are sensitive to them. I am. If you call the doctor and report it, they might change it for you. I know coughing isn't fun, and then to have a cough and surgery is not at all fun to overcome.

Well I was just kicking a cold last week and now it seems like I may have relapsed. Watching for a fever. My son just went to get me a thermometer. Thank you for telling me about the possibility of pain meds causing it.
