I am waiting to get discharged now. Got sleeved first thing Tuesday morning. Had some pain but nothing too terrible. I might have used the pain pump 5 times.

The worst part for me was that I couldn't pee after surgery and they had to drain my bladder with a straight catheter. Ouch! Ever since then I have been a peeing machine.

I could handle Water but not the hospital food. The kept bringing in Protein Jello. I ate one. I've never had jello before. I won't ever again.

I'm looking forward to get home to a shake.

Good luck to everyone!

Yay! I'm July 29th. (Florida). Also nervous! Especially reading some of these July posts from the people that had it done earlier this month. Some doing great- some with some issues. Let's hope for great :) have my preop with pcp Monday, Tuesday with surgeon. Also have to sneak in a chest X-ray and EKG, blood work. It's coming up quick ! Next week I'll be busy ! And probably drinking liquids only :0 when do you start liquids?

I'm going to order some now. Is it powder you put in broth? Is there a special way to mix it?

You can use Water or broth, I prefer it with broth.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
