Surgery went well yesterday. Only nausea was in the recovery room. Morphine PCA made it a lot easier. Had leak test this am, tasted like how lemon pledge smells. Not gritty though. Thinking of all the great ppl here getting sleeved today and this month. This is our season of hope. Feels like an early Christmas present. Best of luck. Jello for lunch, yeah!

Congratulations! Looks like we both had surgery on Monday (8th). I came home yesterday. So far' date=' I would say yesterday was my worst day. I was in a lot of pain from the gas and was extremely tired. I am also having a hard time drinking all my 60oz of liquids too. It's 8pm now, and I'm only at 29oz. I am going to try to hit 40oz before I go to bed.

How has your liquid intake been so far? What are you tolerating the best? I've been enjoying SF popsicles the most. Water is pretty good to me too, although I girgle and burp after every sip. Jello gets me full and bloated too quickly.

Well, best of luck. I am curious to see if we run into similar experiences.[/quote']

Yes, jello made me feel ill yesterday. Sticking to liquids and broth. I have popsicles but have not had one. May be tonight.

Great to see you progressing so well Chad' date=' seems all your time here is paying off. You are so aware of everything that is happening. I only wish we were all as well informed as you are.[/quote']

I feel better prepared than what I see in my local hospital support group. Thanks for your confidence.
