Topic: I'm new and I'm home
Hi, I'm Rachel. I had my gastric bypass on Monday, Jan 12. It was hell the rest of the day between the anesthestia and morphine making me so nauseous. For those of you who haven't experienced that yet, keep in mind, that too shall pass! The next day, after they finally let me drink water (wow that was great!), things started to get much better. I am at my sister's house now recuperating. After sleeping for 11 hours, I think I might be ready for my first shower since before my hospital stay.

Topic: RE: WHAT AM I TO DO
I just had my surgery Monday and was hoping for a 20lb weight loss before. No one weighed me the day of surgery. They asked what I weighed and I told them what I weighed that morning on my home scale, which is considerably less then Dr.s. I got in so quick because they changed my OR time from 2pm to 11am. So since it is a 45min drive for me they were waiting and I was in before I could think about it!
Don't worry about the loss, just follow diet until the day and do the prep and you will be good to go!
good luck!

Hello everyone!
I had my surgery on 1/12 and I got home yesterday around 12noon. Not bad at all! I don't remember anything after my first sedative in my IV pre-op. I don't remeber recovery and was pretty much in and out of it that night. Tuesday was better. More awake, walking, sipping etc. Sore a little getting in and out of bed. More like muscle soreness. Home yesterday, moving around, sipping, sleeping, passing gas. Not all that sore. Pain meds before I went to bed at 10pm. No meds this morning. Feel pretty good. Just tired and slight muscle soreness. Sometimes I feel like I have a gas bubble that moves up my chest after sipping. I agree with the posts that room temp liquids seem to be more comfortable. The thought of broth is grossing me out so I have lots of water, SF koolaid, crystal light and propel to add to my water. I also have SFjello and SF pops.
Anyone else from 1/12 home???
Thanks to everyone thinking about me on my day,
