Hey everyone I've found so much useful information since I've joined and can't thank this community enough. Can you guys share tips on how to meet Protein goals on the first days or anything you wish someone had told you that would've made your post op easier.

I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time I hope I can sleep tonight

I'm having my sleeve done a week after you! Good luck!

From what I've read on these forums, the most important thing to worry about in the week post-op is to keep your fluids up and try to get as much in as you can. Don't worry about Protein so much in the first week - some people can't tolerate it all. The main thing is to not get dehydrated and end up back in the hospital.

I had a lot of abdominal pressure after surgery and found it hard to move around. I told my doc in the hospital and he ordered an abdominal binder. Its a band with Velcro closure. What a difference it made for me. Good luck on your journey.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
