Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

Good afternoon all. Had my surgery on Tues' date=' 10th. Got home today from Mexico. Dr Alvarez did my surgery and found a hernia. So glad he did, and fixed it. All in all, it has gone well. I am retaining a lot of fluid, trying to walk a lot, well, not really a lot, but enough for now. I have tightness in my chest, which I should expect from the hernia repair. No nausea, vomiting, weakness or dizziness. Getting my water down as much as possible. I am going forward with all positive thoughts....not going to get upset if I don't get every ounce of water in, etc. Don't be hard on yourself, get plenty of rest, move around to keep the fluids moving.

Will check back in later.....for all you guys waiting for your date, it will be here before you know it. Oh, and last thought, stay away from the scale for a little while. [/quote']

Good Luck

I was sleeved on Monday 9/9, came home yesterday! On full liquids. Doing good at getting in fld but not the cream Soups or yogurt, only able to do one of the 2 tbsp. Drinking chocolate Shakeology with skim milk for my Protein shake which one 8 oz shake comes to 25 grams of protein. Immediately after surgery I had severe nausea but that subsided with meds about 4 hrs post op.. Had a little nausea today but took a Zofran. Pain has been very manageable which has really surprised me and so far I'm

Taking only 2 doses of pain meds a day. I walked around the house today and also to the end of my drive and back then unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and I was tired . I feel like I am doing well with a good recovery. One thing to mention is I gained 8 pounds since surgery being pumped with all the fluids, that was kind of hard to take but as of this morning had already lost 5 of that. My stats are below:

Please share how the rest of you are doing!

Highest wt-271

Wt before pre-op diet: 268.2

Surgery day: 257

4 days post op-259

You are so lucky that you only gain a few pounds with all the stuff they pump in to us. I got home and checked my weight because I could tell I was swelled. I had gained 14 with the swelling. Dumber.

I gained 11lbs with the swelling, which I was kind of expecting. I was not expecting it to take a full week for it to come back off though. I was so happy when I woke up on day 7 and finally saw the scale read 1lb below my surgery weight.
