I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

First night home in my own bed!! I slept hugging a pillow, which was very comfortable. I kept in check of the pain, and stayed on track with the pain meds. I slept until after noon!!! I'm having jello for the first time since surgery on Tuesday. My goal is 48oz of clear fluids today, (4) five minute walks and healing!! How is everyone else doing?!

Had my surgery yesterday, 3/9 was able to take sips of water when I got to my room after recovery. Had a slight fever over night so I have to stay one more day just for observation. I also had my first meals today. Was able to keep down broth, and jello no problem. Have not had much gas pain. Just a little sore in my tummy area.

I’m 3 days post op and got most of the gas out at the hospital. They really get u moving so that helped.

Very sore, but each days get a little bit easier. Not sleeping well bc I’m a stomach sleeper and can’t just yet.

I’m not quite getting my protein in. First day home I only did 30g of protein and water. It was tough to drink so slowly and afraid of drinking too much.
But today It’s easier to drink, just not where I should be still with protein intake and fluids

I'm a stomach sleeper, too. Ive found that hugging a pillow and sleeping on my side is still comfortable. I don't get to start Protein until Monday after I call and check in with my surgeon. I'm sore, but like you said, it is getting easier [emoji4]

The PA that works with my surgeon told me GasX works for gas in the bowels, which isn't the area of concern. Which begs the question: how does air exit the abdomen -- isn't it through the digestive tract?

Apparently the body absorbs the gas over time. Or so I’ve been told.

Wow! 19 pounds in 5 days is incredible! Do try hard to get water and fluid in. You don't want to get dehydrated and end up back in the hospital.

Hi Milton!! I walk about 5 minutes four times a day for now. You're way ahead of the game! Superstar! I haven't lost much which is baffling to me since they removed body parts and I've only had liquids. Tonight, I had jello for dinner, 1/3 of a cup and it was almost too much!! Logging it in myfitnesspal, I could see my old food ways and how much jello i had before. Day and night!!!!

Mine was March 7th.

14th, too. Your pic = perfection!! I may not sleep from now until surgery

Thanks! That’s a plush toy I bought on amazon. It’s nice to have a item to comfort you. [emoji847]

My kids bought me that stuffed stomach too! I love him! ❤️

I had mine March 5!

For those that have already been sleeved, how are you doing with protein intake since surgery? I've developed a little bit of an intolerance to straight skimmed milk, but I am tolerating low fat natural yoghurt and Greek yoghurt ok. Are you using protein powders to up your protein or have you some other "go to" fluids.
