Recommended Posts


Congrats! I go home tomorrow. Had some small things that needed to happen before going home. Hope your first day at home is going well and you are feeling supported and getting rest.




Thank you. It wasn't so bad. I'm just gassy. It hurts a little swallowing Water. I am feeling a lot of support. How are you feeling?

It's easier now just take it slow it will get better. I tried warm Water with a bit of lemon that helped relax my stomach. Everyone keeps saying walk walk walk and they are right that really helped me.

Walking really helped me! Swallowing took a few days to feel kinda okay. I used throat lozenges .. that helped.. I am getting discharged later this morning. I feel so much better and trying to get hang out of this clear liquid timing. I ended up with also a hernia repair so have some discomfort in chest..

What worked for me was to walk pay attention to meds that helped and asked for those.. for example I hated the Percocet feeling so won’t be taking that again. I’m just trying to listen to my body and walk every hour for 15 min... even if is a shuffle... how you doing? Where’d you have surgery? I’m on west coast..

Thanks so much for this tip. It definitely did help tremendously. I've been doing a ton of walking.

I'm so happy that your doing much better. They gave me oxy to help with discomfort. I'm doing so much better than yesterday. I can't wait till I am 100%. I'm in NYC. I had it done at Northwell. I was so nervous about my shrinking liver diet. But my doctor said my liver was perfect. Did u have to go on pre op diet?

Thanks glad you’re doing better today!! Tordal is the pain med that helped me.. the inflammation in my throat went way down after getting that med.

I read instructions dietician gave me wrong and put myself on a 14 day pre op diet lol the doctor only wanted two days before surgery. So I ended up doing more but I am glad I did. He said my liver was best one he has seen all month and didn’t do a biopsy so that was good. I just got home and so trying to sip and rest and repeat...

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
