2nd day post op

Well I made it to the sleeve side. Had my sleeve early monday morning. Everyone at the hospital was super nice, I was taken in on time. Dont remember much after they gave me something to "calm my nerves". Next thing I remember was waking up in my room. My throat was sore and my belly was a bit sore. That was it. I told them ahead of time that I was sensitive to pain meds and anesthesia. I got up from bed and walked around my room, spit up some blood which was nasty. My nurse said it was from the breathing tube. I was only allowed ice chips for the rest of the day. I became really nauseous after some ice one time and the saliva came pouring out! I am assuming this is the slimies. I was given Levasin drops for nausea which worked. They had me up and walking every couple hours which was no problem. I had a pain pump with IV dilaudid(I can't take vicodin) I think I only hit the button a couple of times. But I am sure the anesthesia was still in my system too. The surgeon said he had to fix a hiatal hernia as well.

monday night they came and drew blood from me, said they would only have to do a leak test if my white count was up and my pain was bad.

tues morn I was up early, walking and walking. I never really had any gas pain. Except when I would swallow my ice chips I could feel the air bubble trying to work itself out which hurt like crazy. But a small belch would happen and it would go away right then. My lower belly was pretty sore but totally tolerable. they had me on a version of iv tylenol which helped with that. Both the pa and the surgeon came in and said I was ready to start drinking my protein. So they made up my shake and some crystal lite to work on. I did pretty well. I think I was more scared to put anything in my new tummy. It never hurt. But some air bubbles would try to work their way out and that was painful. they told me that since I had done so well they would let me go home tues afternoon. My mom picked me up around 530 and brought me home.

At home I drank some g2 which was good. I am not getting alot down but I am slowly working at it. I am using the pain meds for night time only right now. And I am using an ice pack for my stomach at times.

Its wed morning now and am feeling better trying to get more down for protein and liquids. The gas is starting up today more, I find myself burping and passing gas a little more than before. I do not have a scale at home. I have one right outside my office door at work(doctors office) so I am going to wait to weigh at all till monday. that is when I go back to work. I have no urges for regular food at all. Even though its plastered all over the tv! Till next time

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
