Looking for perspective from those just out. How are you doing. Ups and downs? Pain level? Mood?

I was sleeved yesterday (10/22). Day of surgery was a little rough. A lot of abdominal pain, but no gas or nausea. About 11 PM last night the pain started subsiding. Did a leak test this morning about 6:30 AM, then sipped Water 1 oz. per hour for three hours. No trouble keeping that down. So I got to eat Breakfast which consisted of a fruit Protein drink 4 oz., water 4 oz., 2 oz. of sugar-free Jello, and some broth. I didn't eat the broth, and it took me 2 hours to get the rest down. It all went down fairly easily and stayed down. As far as mood, I feel pretty good. I am very optimistic this is all going to go smoothly and work out.

I am so happy for you that your recovering well and keeping your fluids down. everyone speaks of the gas and pain, I am just thinking if I can manage labor pains I should be able to manage this pain. I hope that I am right. Thanks for sharing.
