I will be leaving the hospital soon and will be staying two days at the hotel. I can't wait to have a change of scenery. I am sipping something about every 5 minutes just small sips. I hope this will be enough. I feel like I could probably take larger sips but I don't want to push it. I hope you are home and comfortable.

I'm home. Not comfortable. I think I'm drinking too much. I'm going to slow it down. Take a nap then a walk.

But it does feel good to be home. You'll enjoy your change of scenery. 😊

So, besides the lights being on, I'm doing well. I can drink my Water with no problems now. I'm having what feels like contractions. It's really weird, painful too. Comes in waves. If it keeps up, I'll be buzzing the nurse. Anyone else with "contractions"? Don't know what they'd be called....

Yes. I am. Every time I sip anything - I get like 5 seconds of pain in my stomach. I got home about 2 hours ago and took a nap. Then I walked around the house (inside) for a few laps. I haven't tried my Protein Shake yet. Maybe soon. I'm feeling much better today. Yesterday was rough.

I took my nap. Woke up in more pain. About to take some meds here and walk around the house the best I can. It's muggy and wet outside, there are too many mosquitoes. So I'll opt to pace around the house too.

Glad youre feeling better today! I anticipate all of us to only get better. 😊

Headed home right now. Of course, Michigan roads are awful. Yesterday was the absolute worst. I was extremely sore, and today I was awfully nauseous. Trying not to take any pain meds since they make me feel worse. I would rather be in pain than sick to my stomach and dry heaving. The gas in my stomach is incredible, and I can only pass it if I'm sitting in a certain way. Every day will get better.

I don't know how much I've been drinking. Plenty though. But I even forgot I had surgery for a split second when I took a gulp of Water. Went down fine, but went back to sipping. Definitely nothing ice cold. Sorry you're unable to keep it down. Keep trying though.

Hi guys, i am doing well sipping the liquids everything is going down great except everytime i sleep i wake up with headaches so got up and got dressed and walked slowly for a little bit. Came back home almost passed out but felt good.

I had a busy afternoon and I am a little sore now. Our valet picked up our group of three sleevers and our companions and took us downtown to shop and for lunch at Caesars. We had the famous onion broth and it was delicious. I brought most of it back with me to sip on for dinner. I thought I would take a nap when we got back to the hotel but I can't sleep.

I hooe everyone is settling in at home and feeling a little better.

I am afraid I will do the same thing and forget I just had surgery and mindlessly drink or eat something. Glad it didn't hurt you.

I agree @esaad the nausea was the worst. Everyday gets better though. I mainly have gas pain now. I am still very bloated and keep walking trying to expel it all.

Glad to hear you are doing ok @Sweet as peaches. I have headache right now not sure why. I was wondering if taking a Tylenol would be ok? I really don't want to take anymore prescription pain meds if I can avoid it.

I was told that only tylenol is acceptable if you don't take a prescribed pain med. if you took a prescribed one, forego the Tylenol. Something to do with too much acetaminophen.

Yes, everyday will get better. I have only had burping to expel the gas. I'm sure I'll need to toot at some point, but walking gets it going for sure. I can't wait until we're all about 2-3 weeks out feeling aoooo much better and sharing our experiences. I'm thankful for "meeting" you all here. 😊

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
