    Just remember to sip, sip, sip when they allow you water and walk as soon as you feel up to it. It REALLY helps.

    Good luck, I was sleeved 2/12. When you wake up realize you had surgery and you have to give yourself time. Try to follow everything the hospital and Dr. recommends. Use the pain pump/med if needed and rest. I had mine on a Tues mid morning and only got out of bed a few times to go to the bathroom. Next day I was able to sip water only, so I stayed another night and by Thurs. was feeling much better. I haven't had any problems THANK GOD! Tomorrow is my post op appt. Keep in touch and you will be in my prayers.

    Good luck tomorrow. Dont look back. Push that botton every time you see the light come on to help the pain. The first day is the worst. After that it all gets better.

    Wondering how you are feeling? Remember to walk a lot (slowly) and sip your water constantly. Best wishes for a good recovery and wonderful journey of weight loss.

    I hope all went well for you. I had my surgery the 2/20 as well but I was just discharged yesterday due to complications that i was having with my new found stomach not holding water or anything down. And as far as my first day home, i haven't done anything today other than sleep... ive been trying all day to drink a 20 oz powerade zero and i still have a half of bottle to go, also, i've only had 1 fudgesicle... so good luck!
