Got home last night. Surgery was a breeze. Recovery has its ups and downs. The first night I was in so much pain but they couldn’t give me strong pain meds because I didn’t tolerate them well. Next day I was up walking but still tight and sore. And of course I started the period from hell.
I have the worst pain from hiccups. After surgery I hiccup constantly. I only have four incisions the biggest one being in my belly button.

Sounds like me. I haven't had hiccups, but had some strong pains like I wanted to burp but couldn't like it was stuck. I have 4 incisions and a drain port. I got home on Thursday, surgery was Tuesday....no pain meds since I got home although I could have. Just didn't want the Constipation I've read about so much. Thank goodness I'm passed periods!! That had to be awful.

Hey Im getting sleeved December 19th. Going through pre op diet right now sure excited for surgery.

I'm also the 19th. Pre-op diet is pretty difficult for me. I feel hungry almost all the time. How is it for you? I'm going to Mexico so I'm pretty nervous. My dad was asking me about infection rates last night. Ugh.

Hi guys,

I had surgery yesterday 12/08/17 and I felt ok.. no nausea and started with ice chips then Water and now broths. No major pain other that a little more soreness in the bigger incision where they took my stomach out of.

Hi guys I'm 2 days post op and I still feel a bit sore at the big incision. I have a rolled up towel over it for extra pressure that feels better! I was discharged yesterday and working on the liquid intake[emoji4] up to 80 oz.. I don't think I'll make it to 80 but I'm going to try my best! Anyone out there have advice for Fluid intake post surgery?

Congrats!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery. The first few days I wasn’t hitting my Water goals at all but I was always sleeping. Yesterday I only took my pain meds at night so I was able to get to 56oz of fluids. Still not all the way there but close. I just sip sip sip all day. And I change it up water to broth to ice pops to watered down prune juice. Just make sure you stay with in your programs limitations.

      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! 😞
