18 Days Post Op!

It finally happend, I had my sleeve on halloween! Scary thought!

 

I had some trouble in the hospital, I could not keep the Loritab Elixer down, and it caused me to not be able to drink. So after 2 days they finally figured out this is what was causing me to not drink! New pain medication and drinking was a success... to the best of my ability anyways.

 

I went home on day 4 around noon. My first day home I felt amazing. I walked for about 20 minutes outside, and i was able to sleep on my side and get a full nights rest! It was amazing. I kept up the walking for the entire week, and went back for my post op appointment on day 9. I begged to go back to work becuase I was feeling so great and I do not like to sit around. I was able to go back to work on day 11! :)

 

Also, on day 14 I started with my new Personal Trainer. I know it seems soon, but we stayed away from any core and abdominal work. I did leg lifts, worked on my arms and walked of course!

 

So here it is, day 18 and i'm feeling like crap! I feel like I can't eat anything. I dont know if this is a normal feeling or if I am really feeling sick to my stomach. Yesterday I left work eary and did some R&R time for myself, thinking maybe I had overdone it the past few days But today I am not feeling any better.

 

I am trying my best to get my water in, but it is very difficult. I know I can get more in, and perhaps that is why I am feeling ill??

 

Just a rough day today.... :(

I am a OR nurse and this is what we call "too much too soon". You are feeling good so you start to do, then whap it gets you. You had major surgery and I think you went a little too fast. Back off a little and wait some more on the exercise.
