New & Improved Mel

OMGosh! I did it! Home today, I had to spend 3 nights in hospital... just standard proceedure for Australian patients and you know what?? I'm fine!!

Everything went well. I felt well prepared for hospital and had everything I needed. And for that I have to thank the wonderful members of this site and LilMissDiva who prepared the very helpful hospital checklist

So far I have felt minimal pain (keeping up with the meds) and minimal nausea (keeping up with those too)... I feel different, kinda funny: like an office Water machine when someone takes a drink and the huge bubbles 'blop' to the top (and this feeling is making it hard to sleep) but apart from that I am mananging everything just fine.

I seem to be able to sip quite a lot of fluids at one sitting probably a cup already at day 4 (I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing?) and I am not regretting my decision in the slightest because you know what?? I haven't felt the slightest bit of hunger, it's amazing! (Probably explains the water machine feeling)

It is all so new and I have a lot of learning to do.. but I am so excited, for the first time I can picture my self slim, I just have to figure out the sleeping issues. Any suggestion or helpful hints for more restful sleep would be greatly appreciated. I know I can do this with sensational tool, and you know what else, I don't have to totally miss out on things either!

I think I am close to declaring that I already love my sleeve, but I had better wait until solids are reintroduced
