Going home the same day would not have been an option for me. I barely woke up the day I had it (Dec.3) I hope you push to spend the night. It's a major surgery. They need to observe you and be certain that you can drink, walk and go to the bathroom.

I agree, definitely could not have gone home the same day either. Mine was Wednesday morning, December 3rd. Came home Thursday, took some pain meds, then headed off to an elementary school Christmas concert. Took doctors advice, sat in the back, and waited for everyone else to leave before I got up.

Sleeved December 8th. Doing well. Still a little sore. Ready to actually eat. I don't think I am hydrated enough. It's really hard to sip all day.

It is hard to sip all day BUT...... You do not want to get dehydrated! I didn't drink enough and had to go back to ER per Drs orders and get rehydrated. It set my recovery back a few days. Try some flavored water, broth helps me a lot. I know it's hard but you gotta do this.

Jolls says "straws are our friends" so if need be, I will ship away.

Anyone feeling the blues? I suddenly feel so sad, weird that my nervous excitement is gone.

Jolls, my emotions have been all over the place. Sad happy disgusted regret hyper. Saw the surgeon for my first post-op visit yesterday he said it's totally normal. My emotions are leveling out the farther out I get. I dumped the regret.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
