2020 here you come!
How exciting! Try to relax, it'll be over before you know it. We wish you a speedy recovery. Which surgery are you having, RNY, sleeve? As you're in the hospital, maybe you can take notes on your experience to post later? We love seeing the process through new eyes.
When I was taking classes for the surgery we had a surgeon visit us she said a man had gastric bypass surgery and the day after ate a burrito. He stayed in the hospital for almost a year .
God damn! And if they're doing this on the first day out, can you imagine what they're doing to their poor stomachs in the weeks that follow?
What is your surgeon saying? Drinking is the most important thing at this point. My surgeon said if there's a choice, to drink rather than eat.
Your body is probably in starvation mode. If you aren't getting any nutrients in, it wants to hold onto whatever it can to help sustain you in the long run. Once you start eating and then becoming active, you should see that start to move.
