Sorry to respond so late. So i am now day 2 post op. Sleeve date 7/1. Very sleepy that day. Anesthesia took some time to wear off.

Day 1 post op went well i think. Pain was controlled although quite sore when trying to get out of bed. I walked quite a bit i had to force myself to pee. I tolerated my liquids no nausea but tons of gurgling sounds. I couldn't tell if I was hungry or wtf?

Day 2 post op. Today. I cried twice. Went to the grocery store with my hubby. Sat in the motorized cart. Cry #1 The gas makes me quite uncomfortable. I can't pass gas. I hardly burp. Sooooo i can't eat. If i feel full down there then how can I force it? No significant intake of fluids which scare me.

Came home after the grocery store. Tried to fix cream of wheat greek yogurt and Protein shake. I ate 1 babyspoon of cream of wheat. My husband is inviting people over for the holidays I'm pretty upset about that. So he and the kids were cleaning up around me and I was so annoyed. Then he gets up to go to a firework party with his friend. I cried again. My daughter witnessed me this time. I couldn't help it. I just felt so helpless and uncomfortable.

I've been walking. Gas x strips, prilosec, and it just doesn't help. I can't eat or drink. I'm not regretting I'm just uncomfortable. I hear maybe day 3,4, or 5 may be better. I just thought I'd have gas with all the farts, and belches that go along with it. So that's my story for now. Hopefully this is over soon.

I'm not sure what your Dr has you doing as the first week post op, but my Dr had me do Clear Liquids only the first week. As it sucked it also helped a lot with passing gas. You won't get hungry. If you do its in your head and you have to get over that or results won't be good.

God bless you candy girl! Just drink your Water. Does not matter if you are eating. You just don't want to dehydrate. Try to keep walking and he will make the gas go away.

Mine is 7/14, with a 2 week Pre-Op diet. I'm SO excited.

Yes! I am flying to San Diago and heading to Tijuana for my 7/5/2016 VSG! So glad I found others that are also July babies.

Good luck tomorrow Hayley!!

Woohoo I'm now on the other side! Aka the "losers bench"!! Surgery was about 9 hours ago, and I giggled when the surgeon said it went like the typical "bread and butter" case without complication. (We were a bit worried due to old scar tissue in my abdomen). Yes, there is pain. But there is also friendly pain medication, thankfully! I am thinking of those of you having your surgeries so I also, and I suppose I should probably cross over to the post-Op threads now for future posts.

See you all there! ????

Hope you start feeling better soon. I think the anesthesia makes us super emotional immediately after surgery. It will wear off! I was like that after my lapband many years ago. After a few days it will b better. Hang in there and so excited you made

It to the loser bench!!!!! Woowoooo. Ready for a brand new life.

Thanks guys for the support. I went for a late walk around 10pm and around 10:40pm, i passed gas and it was such a relief. Everybody in the house was soooooo happy

I rested well. So much pressure relieved from my abdomen! I am only going to do Clear Liquids for now just to increase my Fluid intake. Oh and the milk of mag i took yesterday evening did it's thing this morning so I'm in a much better space today. Thanks again.

Congrats to those who've been sleeved. I'm on deck Weds. Few more days till the next part of the journey begins.

My surgery is tomorrow July 5th! Excited and nervous.

Have any of you had to wash with the Hibiclens before surgery? I have surgery tomorrow, and I can't seem to find the instructions my doctor gave me on the frequency of washing. What were you directions as to when you are supposed to wash?

Wash in the night before and in the morning before surgery

My program gave me three bottles of Hibiclens, a shower in the morning and at night two days prior, two showers the day before, and one shower in the morning before I head to the hospital. Five showers total.

But I also do not have a liquid diet before. I have two weeks of a very low calorie diet.
