I’m home from the hospital. Got home yesterday evening after a two night stay. My recovery is going well. My tummy is sore, but that is to be expected. No gas pain. No nausea or trouble keeping any of the Protein Shakes down. I am keeping up well on my Fluid intake. And, I’m keeping up with the schedule of meds. The one freak that happened is that I pulled muscle in my back trying to turn over on my side in the hospital bed. So, I left with awful lower left back pain. I’m resting all day today in the hope that the back pain will subside and I’ll be able to move about more tomorrow. How long before any of you started to feel kind of normal again?

Ok so I was sleeved 6/4. You sound just like me. I only took two nausea pills after I left the hospital. Had no issue with fluids. Took me about 5 days and by 1 week I felt great. Only issue I’m having is mental bc I’m tired of a liquid diet.

Agreed, I could definitely stand to move past the liquids. 🤪 That said, I am sure I’ll make it a few more days. I get to start soft/puréed food on Monday. 🤪

Lol me too😕 I didn’t have to do a pre op liquid diet at all except the day before surgery. I don’t know how some of these guys lasted 4-6 weeks on clears and liquid. I’m impressed. They told me I would go from clear to full liquid when I was discharged then do liquids a week then purée. After surgery they told me they’re changing the plan to 2 weeks of full liquid. I wasn’t mentally prepared for 2 weeks😂

Got home on Sunday. Feeling more normal, but my larger incision still hurts. Getting there though.

So I got home on Wednesday evening (and surgery was Tuesday). All things considered I'm doing very well. I'm still pretty sore, but I'm able to walk around the house and a bit outside. I'm just having a hard time getting my fluids in, but today I came very close, and even got in most of my vitamins! I am on a liquid diet until the 26th, then after that appt I can start in on pureed foods... which is good, because I currently have about zero interest in solid foods!

Thank you guys all for the support, I've been thinking about you!

In stage 3, can we eat seedless watermelon?

[Frustr8 7,886]

That would seem logical to me unless they are worried about fruit sugars which i would think negligible in Watermelon. It always produced slight diarrhea in my Daddy but maybe he are too much at one sitting LOL😛

[djgirl19 276]

Just back from my follow up appointment. Everything’s good. Staples out finally!🙌🏼 I start soft food Monday. 🙂Excited but a little nervous. They said a lot of people don’t get nauseous until this stage😖lol Oh and down 17 pounds from surgery day!!!! Woohooooooo

I'd ping your dietitian on that one. I doubt have any fruit on my list for some time.

BariatricPal liquid b complex is soooo much better than the chewable I got.

Every post op plan seems so different depending on surgeon - I see some allowed cream of wheat or grits- I’d kill for that right now some way to get savory I’m a week out from ds and no problems getting Protein or fluids - no nausea - minus the thought of consuming any more protein added broth-
