They want me to stay because I threw up the Protein Shake yesterday along with my crushed meds so they want me to stay on liquids and try the Protein tom...of course I would love to sleep in my own bed but I'm soooo afraid of dehydration!

Surgery date was the 14th. I am supposed to get down 48 oz of liquids and 40 grams of Protein. There is absolutely no way. It's 5pm and I have only managed 10 oz of Water and 3 oz of Isopure. I keep getting really sharp pains across my abdomen and up into my chest, last all but a few seconds. Other than that the belly pain is at a 4 inbetween lortab doses. @TStorm yes I have had diarrhea as well. So embarrassed, thought I was only passing gas and had to go change. My 18 yo daughter will never let me live that down. :o

I'm getting my liquids in but when I drink I was getting nauseous. I have figured it out... its due to having to burp. So I usually burp a lot. The bubbling and rumbling gas is all I have to complain other than normal soreness.

And oh boy... I bet she won't let you forget that! !! I am also on oxycodone (not mixed with tylenol just straight oxy). It makes me really sleepy

I'm sorry you're having issues. I understand tho, that's why I had to stay. I too wanted to come home but didn't want to get myself in trouble and just have to go back later. It will pass and you'll feel better. Keep us posted. I hope you feel better very soon!

Oh my gosh! I too am having issues with diarrhea! Thought I might be the only one. It's about to do me in. I just went to the store to get out of the house, didn't think I was going to make it home. :(.

I had my sleeve done on January 31st, I am feeling almost normal now. I have lost 26.5 pounds total including the preop diet. I was wanting to start doing some light exercise like walking, but I have been advised not to until I am about 4-5 weeks postop. Has anyone else been told not to exercise?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
