I just had surgery on January 30th 2018

Hi everyone, my names Myckayla I’m 20 years old my height is 4’11 my highest weight was 220 and my surgery weight was 208.4. I spent a total of 2 nights and 3 days in the hospital due to not being able to drink enough fluids. And now that I’m home I don’t have the feeling of hunger or wanting to drink :( has anyone else dealt with this and if so how? Because I don’t want to go back for dehydration. I’m also in the full liquid stage.

Same surgery date. I had a drain. Having that thing taken out was the best thing that happened to me [emoji23][emoji23]. I'm on 4 oz of liquid an hour. Trying to get 64 oz in. How's everyone feeling?

Yay another 30th sleever! And you had a drain? You’re the first person I’ve come across who’s had one. And I took my patch off I don’t have anything holding me back aside from muscle soreness. And premier is great!

I feel fine aside from the muscle pain but other than that I feel like I could take on the world. Any other sleevers able to sleep on their sides or stomach?


I'm an RNY patient but I couldn't sleep on my side for the first 10 days x

That’s great! I know how difficult it is to be a back sleeper and it sucks [emoji19] I was just curious because I feel like I’m ahead of a lot of sleevers ☹️ and I know everyone’s journey is different but idk maybe I’m just being silly


Yes he did but I have a patch on so I didn’t want do double up on nausea meds. once this patch expires and if I’m still nauseous I’ll take my nausea meds (:




Two nights ago I all of a sudden got nauseous. I have a patch on and still took a zofran. No issues since. Be sure your patch isn’t over 72 hours. If so change it out

Not sure what’s going on but I was told to drink fluids a little at a time. I can drink a cup of tea or broth without having to take tiny sips. Anyone else?

Hood Morning I did lastnite and I actually slept better then the other nites I’m still just a lil sore around the large incision but I’m taking regular Tylenol now and it helped with the soreness... I aswell am having a hard time with the protein but I’m not gonna lie I boiled broccoli lastnite with some chicken seasoning added a lil butter and mushed it up like mashed potatoes and it was great I got 3 oz down

I have to use a straw if I want to not take tiny sips and I know it’s bad but it works for me
