Hi,

Looking to find some people have surgery around the same date as me! Hoping we can go through this process together and talk about our experience along the way!

Day 2 post op for me and everything is good. Only pain I've had was severe chest pain after surgery for the gas they pump in. Walking soon and often help with that. A little sore but no pain at home, but, that might change when I take the numbing drip off on Thursday. I have liquid pain med for that if it happens. No trouble swallowing sips of liquids. Actually left the hospital feeling as good as the day I went in. Hoping that lasts.

Alabama here! Sleeved June 30th. So far so good. Just lots of stinging burning on my left incision that has a HUGE bruise! I am having a hard time getting in 64oz liquids though.

I'm doing better each day. Left side is still sore i.e. tough to roll up out of bed, but even that is improving each day. I walked more and had more stamina today. I started full liquids-I was happy I was able to get shakes down with no problem. Can anyone recommend a good soup? (low sodium is now too salty and pop sicles are too sweet/tart). My list also includes SF FF fudgsicles so I need to find those. I'd really like a yummy soup though....I'll be on full liquids until day 14 then move to pureed.

How's everyone else?

Doing pretty good. Still sore and I have lots of huge bruises around a couple of my incisions.

Still on clear liquids through tomorrow. I have very little energy. It is hard to watch the rest of my family eat. Even though I am not hungry at all, I was fantasizing about food. I need to start fantasizing about what I will feel like at goal instead . Hope the rest of you are doing well!

Clear liquids today and tomorrow for me too. Not hungry but looking forward to something a little more solid than liquids when I start full liquids. I'm doing really well with little pain, no nausea, no trouble swallowing, down 22.4 pounds and big drop in blood sugar.

Doing pretty well- yesterday I think I drank a protein shake too fast and then I felt yucky so I went back to clear liquids for the rest of the day. Some incision pain so still pretty reliant on pain med every 4-6 hours. Weighed myself and still 4 pounds up from day of surgery weight, which I guess is swelling? No hunger, no nausea.

Morning, June 30th buddies! Hope everyone is well today. I'm getting a little better and stronger each day. I got down 2 -- 8 oz protein shakes and 2 -- 6 oz bottles of water, a little bit of tea, jello, and a couple of sugar free pops.

I found this blog with recipes for protien ice cream that I'm going to try--cold stuff if going down way better.

Have a great day everyone!

that looks good ....for me room temp goes down better than hot or cold. I split up my protien shakes into 4 seperate "meals" and get all 60 gm in per day and sip sip sip getting in around 32 oz of fluids doing that. No pain a little sore in the morning take Tylenol no pain meds . Adding fiber to my AM shake to avoid any issues. Hope everyone is doing well!

I think I'm going to get some soups today ie Thai , hot and sour, wonton, etc. will strain the solids out of them and hope they aren't too salty. Still sore on my left side but drinking is easier.

I am trying some Soup now- Progresso Artisan Masala Curry Butternut Squash. It is nice and smooth right out of the carton but a little thick so I added some skim milk to thin it out. It's quite good!

Happy 4th everyone! I'm feeling pretty good so far. Not really struggling keeping any fluids down and I'm not in much pain...but the itching of the incision sites while they heal is enough to drive me insane. I'm literally replacing ice packs one after another to soothe the itch. Us anyone else itchy?

I'm itchy too!! It means we are healing!

A little itchy-I'll just be glad when the soreness on the left heals up. When I walk it feels like I need to wear spanx or some kind of support

I'm not itchy. I'm bitchy. I think I've been in this nunnery a little too long! I need to be out and about with actual human beings (who aren't on a television set). Although I don't know what I'd talk about...except my gas, my favorite liquids, my incredible bad breath -- yeah, maybe it's better that I just live out the rest of m life alone in front of the TV. My recommendation for anyone contemplating bariatric surgery: Don't do it during summer reruns!
