Two days out and feeling so much better!!
I cannot speak highly enough about my surgeon, Dr Perez and the Oasis hospital in TJ. Everyone has been wonderful. First night was rough, as expected, primarily due to gas pain. So glad I brought a heating pad and abdominal binder. Not sure if the simethicone drops actually did anything, but they make my mouth taste like a day spa, which was nice :) Although my stomach is grumbling, I’m not remotely hungry. It’s going to be a challenge to remember to hydrate, I can tell. Heading home tmrw. No regrets.

Congratulations.

Glad you're doing well! I was sleeved on Wednesday and am feeling much better, just struggling to get all this water in.

I'm having gastric bypass Wednesday was just curious how much water you drink?

My surgeon wants me aiming for 64 oz. I haven't quite made it yet (just a few days post-op) but it's getting easier. Protein drinks, broth, etc. count for the water total, too.

My surgeon also said he wants me to consume 64 oz a day. That includes protein water, broth, etc. I’m on clear liquids for another week.

what kind of binder? Like the girdle types that only go around your waist and clasp in the front?

Somebody told my late husband " You're so lucky,she likes and follows Sports. He said "Oh No " she times all meals for half-time, flings it on TV Trays and says " Eat fast,I don't want miss the game either!"
We got married at 6:45pm. Why,you might ask? #1. You always want to get married when the clock hands are going up, it brings good fortune to the marriage and #2 and more important ,Ohio State basketball tipped off at 8:15pm,that at we got the wedding and reception over so nobody,missed anything. And as we left for our wedding trip we had the game on the radio. Now those are sport following people!?
