I am officially scheduled for gastric bypass Wednesday December 04 with George Eid at West Penn hospital. Any surgery twins?????

Can’t really get anything down. They have me on clear liquids but I can feel how much swelling I have so it’s hard get an ounce every 15 minutes.

Someone at work told me yesterday and today that I look like I’m getting sick but I feel completely fine. I was thinking maybe bc if the 2 week liquid diet.

If you know you are feeling fine, then don't allow their dialogue to fill your mind. You are cleansing and detoxing your body, you are doing it for your wellness.

My surgery was yesterday and I am having some incision pain but mostly nausea, vomiting, and dry heaving... I feel better now that I am at home and have had a shower. Just cant keep anything down. For those who have had the surgery what are you eating

Thankfully naseua is about the one thing I haven't had since surgery yesterday. Been fighting a fever since I was discharged. Also have incision pain and quite a bit of gas pain.

While in the hospital I had some skim milk, tomato soup, beef broth, cream of wheat, low sugar vanilla yogurt and of course water.

It's been a struggle trying to figure out how much I can eat at once, how quickly/slowly to eat, etc. Most of the meals I stretched over hours and didn't end up finishing before they took them away.

When I got home, I had a Premier protein shake over the course of about five hours, then sipped on some Gatorade Zero, although I only managed a few ounces over the course of the evening.

Right now I'm slowly trying some grits before I have my night time medicines crushed up!

It’s great to see everyone that has had their procedure. I’m scheduled for Monday. My dr also prescribed me some medication before surgery to take a few hrs before I arrive. It’s to help with pain and nausea after surgery and to speed my recovery. We’ll see how it goes though. They also told me they would have me on Omeprazole for 3 months after surgery to help with the stomach acid.

hello Everyone!
I just had surgery this morning and am lying in hospital. all went well. Just pain at incision sites. Done nausea but I told nurses and they gave me meds for it

If anyone close to surgery and feel in pain just tell nurses

lightheaded but other than that feeling good

one walk down hospital aisle already

I was so scare two days before surgery and was horrible just waiting for it to be over but all good

they’ve just given me water at this stage

good luck everyone

Congratulations to each and every one of YOU and Welcome to the Brave New World!

Sip real tiny sip, let that go down, tiny sip repeat. You will be fine take it slow. By day 3-5, you will find everything you are experiencing easier or gone. Walk for the gas.

I got my surgery day yesterday, I’m scheduled for the 23rd. I am beyond excited but a bit apprehensive as well.

Is anyone here on any Facebook Beriatric groups?

Gastric sleeve done yesterday (Tues, 12/10).

Things are going better than I expected. Not nauseated, but headache and very dizzy upon standing. The incisions don't bother me at all. Sipping liquids very slowly and have to keep sitting up straight. Otherwise I can feel a slight pain in there. My doctor's orders are clear liquids only for first week. My throat is sore and my lower lip kinda beat up. No pain meds necessary so far. Did have pretty bad gas pains right between and below my breasts. Everybody in the recovery room was burping gas. I finally did the same and it really helped. So far so good I guess.

Just got my call! I report to the hospital at 7:15 tomorrow morning! So anxious!

Why is all I want is ice cold water

But I know room temperature or warm is better

Dec 13th here

I'm scheduled for Friday the 13th. ?

Me too
