Good luck and prepare for a lot of gas pain, as soon as you can get to our room and they allow you start walking immediately, I woke up after post op in so much pain but I knew that I needed to walk . I did not get very far but I was able to walk just enough to let teh gas pain start slowing down. You will hurt and have the driest mouth for 24 hours but it slowly gets better. Take it easy

once you get home.

Yep, I'm the 7th too!! One more day of pre-op liquids! I still don't know what time, the hospital is supposed to call me tomorrow around 5:00 to let me know. Really hoping I'm not the first one out of the gate that morning, that person has to be there at 5:00 am...my drivers (aka parents) would have a looonnnngg day :)

Day 2 post op! I have had some pain....nothing to big to deal with. Was on morphine for the first 8 hours then switched I've to toradol.. (Thy say it is like a really strong Motrin).. I had heartburn before this managed by Prilosec everyday...since surgery heartburn has been worse (that would be my biggest complaint) they have been giving me protons by iv...but today they say Prilosec with applesauce.... I am hoping that will work better today. Oh and very dry mouth for 24 hours after surgery...yuck.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
