I had my surgery yesterday. Was in some pain until they got it under control. Was up and walking three hours after getting to my hospital room. Nurses were shocked but after I had my c section with my daughter (15 years ago) I recall the sooner I got up and walked the faster I healed. I have been eating ice chips and drinking small sips of water. Only had a couple bites of jello last night and one teaspoon of broth. I will see how breakfast goes shortly. Being removed from IV today and going to liquid medicine. Fingers crossed for a successful day. Not sure when I’m leaving it may be tomorrow or Friday. Much love to you all!!!

Congratulations! Welcome to the other side! You are not alone. Good luck!

Congratulation! You doing great!

Just had ab 6oz of broth and 2 bites of jello - big improvement - still have IV at 40% and IV meds. Some mild discomfort - regularly doing 6-12 laps at a time - belching and farting along the way.

Congrats!!!

Awesome Sosewsue61 sounds like you’re doing great. Still no gas for me. I keep walking but nothing coming out lol. Baby sips of water and a little broth and jello. My husband is in complete amazement that I’m not starving after these four days. Dr is keeping me one more night since my conversion from lap and to sleeve was more complicated than he thought. Happy to be here. Not ready to go home just yet.
