Thanks for all the information my surgery is on Monday. Questions did anyone have to wear a belt and are you taking Vitamins already ?

How are this week's patients feeling today?

I am very very tired. Distressed by the drain but starting to get used to it. My external staples hurt today a bit but otherwise the pain has been minimal. I've been taking the anti-nausea and Tylenol and Prevacid but otherwise nothing. Was told to stay off Vitamins for a couple more weeks and am not wearing a belt.

Hitting my current goals of walking for 15-20 mins three times a day and drinking 36 oz of G2 and Water.

I feel your pain! I had surgery Tuesday so I am 2 days post. Every sip hurts. I just think your pain control is much better in the hospital!

Today is a little bit better. I can't take the Vitamins I bought. I found a sample packages of bariatric fusion softchews and I can tolerate that much better. Sipping Water isn't going so well. I've managed to sip 1/2 of a Protein shake. Hopefully I can get more in.

Try liquids at different temps - it might help. broth, tea, sf popsicles, crystal light, infused water - try different things and see what you can tolerate better. You need to stay hydrated or you'll end up back in the hospital!

Many of us had the hernias. I sometimes wonder why some of us have it easy and others go through these problems. I was on a natural high being sleeved. I could not even st,ay home, never had nausea or any problems, my husband and I. I feel bad for those with a bad experience.

I so wish I had a good post op story. You're lucky! I feel crappy. Yesterday was a high point until I had some pudding, downhill from then.

Different for everyone, two weeks out and you should feel someone normal again

FYI, what I didn't know is that your hormones go crazy, like as if your prego, at least that's how it was for me!!! So feel free to cry!

Best of luck... Hang in there !!

Be patient it iis so worth it.

I have been reading here for quite a while now. I try to focus on all of the positive post but can't help but think about some of the not quite so positive. I'm planning to return to work in 2 weeks or less. I guess I'm nornal....excited but scared.
