March 29, 20188 yr Author LLG1981 how did your surgery go? Now that you're on the other side of surgery how are you feeling? Please update us as soon as you feel good enough, Okay?[emoji14][emoji171][emoji14]Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile appThanks everyone for the well wishes. Yesterday I was very sick from the anesthesia and the gas pain was excruciating. I couldn’t keep anything down but forced myself to walk which started helping with the gas pains. I was pacing the hallways at 1am and was finally able to get some sleep around 2. This morning I had an upper GI test done to make sure I didnt have any leaks and happy to report all is well. It’s still a struggle to drink as my throat is very sore from the breathing tube but I feel 200x better. I took a shower which also helped breathe some life back into me. The worst seems to have passed but still have some gas which now is just slightly uncomfortable. I am lucky that that is the onlypain I have as everything else seems to be healing nicely.
March 30, 20188 yr Wonderful, I just had a feeling things were going to go pretty good for you, glad to hear my but instincts were correct. My guts haven't always been right, maybe that's why I want them renovated? But keeping doing the right things at the right times and for the right reasons and you'll do great [emoji14]Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

That’s awesome! Glad you’re doing better each day.
April 11, 20188 yr Author Awesome! I had my 10 day post op appointment on Monday with my surgeon and was cleared for purees and vitamins starting tomorrow. My incisions are none existent, you can barely see them which surprised the nurse and the surgeon how well they have healed. I am able to drink water normally and have no issues getting 64oz plus a day and getting in two protein shakes to get my 60 grams of protein. Honestly, it has been a really great recovery and I am so thankful. I will take those first hard 12 hours for such a quick turnaround. I am looking forward to starting the next stage and hitting the gym to do some strength training now that I have been cleared.

So at day 10 you don’t have to sip anymore. That’s very encouraging. I’m heading to surgery in the morning. Nervous but excited. [emoji15][emoji4]
