I'm OUT! :D

[more2adore]

YAYYY! I got sprung from the hospital today. Hubby and I stopped and got me a Double Whopper with extra cheese meal since it has lots of protein. And I made sure to get a large chocolate shake since I'm tolerating fluids so well. I even had hubby sit on the Whopper first so it was more of a pureed food texture.

APRIL FOOLS! Hee hee hee! I am out of the hospital, though, and enjoying sip sip sipping some Optifast soup since they've cleared me for free fluids.

Gonna get off the Optifast ASAP since it's not great with sugar/carbs but hubby isn't going grocery shopping for a couple hours yet and I wanted to keep the fluids going!

PS - no real fluid restriction is normal, right, even this early out? Pretty sure I've read that it is many times. The 4oz at a time limit is for solids, not liquids, right?

@more2adore You are so cute!! I'd forgotten it was April Fool's Day. Glad you've been sprung. Good luck going forward!

 

[duh_Mom]

You're doing great...your tummy will tell you if it's too much!
I never had any trouble drinking lots after my sleeve. I could take regular drinks...not just baby sips..at just a few days out.

I just couldn't stop thinking of the person I heard about who stopped for a Big Mac on his way home from surgery and was shocked when he had a leak afterwards. I couldn't imagine doing that before, and now that I know what it feels like post surgery I REALLY can't imagine it now! Sorry... I couldn't resist playing a little prank.

You are sounding entirely too good for someone who just had surgery!

 

[more2adore]

I keep waiting to find out I'm doing something wrong! Lol. It's still uncomfortable swallowing tablets - still makes me a wee bit nauseated - and if I drink a lot too fast I get nauseated as well, so I slow it down. Other than that... Smooth sailing.

yes. Normal. When I had my VSG the surgeon wouldn't release me until I was at 2ltrs a day as I was bigger than the usual patient and higher risk for dehydration....or some jazz like that lol. I was on clear liquids for a week, non clear for a week, sloppies, then soft. So like a month. And I was hungry on liquids. All normal.

Welcome to the loser side!

I still can upchuck liquids if I drink too fast! I don't ever learn either. If Im super thirsty and chugging squash, it comes back for a quick reunion

Haha, you got me for a second there, too!

......Diana's fingers were filling up with freshly oxygenated blood getting ready for a long and concise precision laser guided oratorical response!!

You got me too!!! I must admit, I was thinking..WTF??? after just a few days, a burger . GLAD you're out though and doing well!

 

[southernlady]
