POSTOP DS

just had DS on Tuesday and in recovery right now

Congratulations, sip walk sip walk

What she said!

 As a former gulping chugging fat man what size are these sips.  I can't wait to get out of the hospital and develop my own routine at home. Hard to sip/walk when you're hooked to all sorts of machines etc... 

Hope you don't learn your lesson the way I did when it comes to the size of a sip. My stomach sent a very clear Return to Sender message when I tried to take in too much liquid in the early post-op peroid.  It was painful as well as ugly with blue Isopure all over the place.  Go slow with both the drinking and moving around and let your tolerance build.

 Not quite that bad but I am learning.  Even breathing was painful. Once I pass gas I'm sure it will be better. Do I wait until out of hospital to start protein or ask about it now. Eager to start the big lose. The recovery and the moving around have been fantastic and easy. Thanks to God. Just heard no leaks from stomach so when my doctor gets here I will ask him about the protein. I see these Bariatric advantage vitamins etc here.  Can anyone recommend them based on experiential evidence and not anecdotal?  I figure if I have to be on them the rest of my life I need the good stuff.

The gas thing will make you feel soooo much better. I'm just amazed you have enough strength and clarity of thought to be posting this early out. Have they not been bringing you protein packets on your meal tray?

 Nope, just broth jello Popsicles.  I'm gonna ask about the protein stuff. 

 It's horrible, I'm in so much pain and stuck in this hospital because I can't  pass gas. Just sitting and dealing with this excruciating pain as I try to pass this gas. Anyone else been in the predicament?
