Congrats you look wonderful! What's your height?

If you don't want all the cramping my post op instructions were to use milk of magnesia as directed

Congrats on your surgery hang in there it will get better

Today i was able to lift one leg across the opposite thigh to tie my tennis shoe lace while standing without losing my balance,Yeah!

You look really good! what exercises are you doing?

30ml milk of magnesium

You'll be just fine, let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it make sure you walk and take sips when on clear liquid and keep your compression stocking on when you're not moving around. ask for a patch to help with nausea they'll put it on before surgery

I was told to take 30ml of milk of magnesia if longer than 5 days

Its normal to be nervous,I was a little nervous also but once i registered in i was fine because my family was there for support i felt plenty loved because i only expected my husband to be there but sisters aunts grandmother children and friends all popped up before i went back for the surgery, And it was over quickly.

I'm doing good, back to work this week.have been able to tolerate most of my soft foods, the reason i say most is because i had nausea and vomiting for the first time after trying a turkey sausage won't be trying that again for a while

I was sleeved April 8 prepared myself physically and mentally for this procedure used VST for support but mostly info.I've had my days of ups and downs but nothing drastic i just thank God i made it through the procedure and pray for good health for the remainder of my life. I'm okay with getting in whatever amount of food and liquids i get in because each day it gets better. I have a daily focus on no vomiting, i was told that its okay if you only get in small amounts in the first stage and in the beginning my saving grace with fluids has been mostly sf popsicles. I find myself looking for small things to eat that's high protein tried smoked oysters yesterday rinsed and ate what i could as lunch and popped the rest in my mouth throughout day 11g protein.I've made the decision, no time for regret, if no complications I'm just continuing as planned.
