Sleeved May 4th and down 28 pounds post op!

Sleeved on May 3rd, got released from the hospital 8pm last night. Feeling better each day-still feel beat up, but better each day. Had a hyadle hernia they had to fix as well so maybe that's making it worse? I have my schedule of 2oz every hour your awake and protien (I'm using Prostat 64so I just drink 2oz at a time-15 grams of Protein in those 2 0z). Doing my breathing exercises and I have to inject myself with lovanox 2x a day for next 2 weeks to reduce risk of blood clots.
I was scared to death b4 surgery, showed my husband where everything was the night b4 ( papers, jewlrey etc) but after meeting with the team of doctors I felt much better on the day of surgery. The anasethiologist group was very nice-asked a million questions and made me feel better. I still had that "oh my god I'm alive reaction" along with what did I just do when I woke up-but I'm sure I made the right decision.
I've been up walking around but I feel better laying down trying to sleep. It's strange, like time moves slowly- I look at the clock and it's 1 and I fall asleep- think ove been sleeping for hours but it's only 1:14. Didn't get any sleep in the hospital between buzzers, beeps, alarms etc- very noisy and the nurses come in for vitals every hour.
Im also on pain meds so I hope this makes a little sense-I'll write more later.
Good luck to evyone and remember you will feel better everyday-

Today is Sunday May6th and I'm up walking around much more. I'm on schedule with my liquids and proteins- who would of thought you had to keep on top of just drinking a couple ounces every hour. I'm feeling so much better today compared to day of and day after, still uncomfortable but 1000 percent better!

My doctor had me purchase Pro-Stat 64 (sugar free). 2 tablespoons have 15 grams of Protein so you can put in a shake, Water or anything to get in the protein.
