Morning guys. I’m two days post op and doing ok. It’s a little uncomfortable to lay flat on my back - I find it more comfortable with my torso elevated. I can now lay a little on my side. I’m still finding it a struggle to sip water but know I need to so as to remain hydrated. It’s weird but there is no interest in food. I will have my first sloppy half weetabix this morning here at the hospital which I will try hard to eat. I go home today x

Hi guys - im home now and doing fine. No pain though a tiny bit of a sore throat from the tube but that is normal. I have seen on here that come people have spoken of up to 10lbs in weight gain directly after surgery. I have not experienced that. im sipping more water and have managed a third of a weetabix with milk and a few spoons of lentil soup. I cant wait to hear how those of you who had surgery on 2nd and 3rd have got on xx

Honestly without this group I don't know where I'd be lost alone feeling like no supporters whatsoever I'm glad that I found all of you and I just want to say thank you for being there and listening and sharing.

My sleeve surgery is Monday June 5th. I have to be at the hospital by 8:45a. My hunger and food distractions have seemed to subside from anticipation, excitement and fear. Now I’m just a nervous wreck lol. With less than 48 hrs to go I’ve gone through many emotions. I’ve read every post on this thread. Congratulations to all much success, peace, health and love!
I will update on how things went after I’m up. Last weight was on Wednesday 246- can’t wait to get to onderland!

Hello! Had my surgery last night and it went well! I was nervous as I got to the hospital but then they gave me vein champagne which was great! I fell asleep and then it was over! I’m getting my fluids in even had some jello! The pain is tolerable with Tylenol. The doctors used a robot to do the surgery and maybe that’s why the pain is tolerable. I believe in y’all!

Whoop Whoop - congratulations and welcome to the other side! Thanks so much for sharing - i think its so important for others to hear the experiences of others who are now post op. I am so rooting for you all - it has been so rewarding to share with you., my June bariatric family ??

By the way, i have been sent home from the hospital with some liquid paracetamol (i think that is what you all call tylenol) and ibruprofen for any pain and inflammation. I also have two weeks worth of anti-blood-clot injections and two weeks worth of tablets to line the stomach which melt in your mouth. I also have anti-thrombosis socks and my first follow up with the nurse is on Monday (four days post surgery).

I do not have the support of my family so you all mean a lot. I have to say, i am very comfortable here healing in peace. I do have my two little kitties mind you ?
