I do have thread sticking it off two of my incisions. I thought that was the weirdest thing. I'm afraid to pull them

Yes. I had some Fro Yo that seemed like the Devil made himself. It was delish though. Lol

3 weeks out and zero problems. No vomiting, no pain pills after release from hospital (maybe 2), very little nausea and a 30+ pound weight loss. I'm happy!

Welp...today was the event and I felt well enough to do it. I did sit down for most of the massages (chair massages only) and only about 5 standing up. I think I did 12 massages total and felt completely fine.

I have about 7 "call the authorities because this woman is clearly in a domestic situation" bruises on the backs of both my arms. That's where they injected the blood thinner every 8 hours for the 3 days I was there. You forget they are there until someone's sweet granny walks up and says "be strong, you can leave" and walks away.

I had my surgery on 6/7. I packed my robe and comfy pj bottoms...never touched them. I couldn't put my arm in my robe with my iv anyway. Backwards robe it is! Plus, I didn't want to have any blood stains on my robe so it was easier.
I never put anything on my lower half. I had a catheter for a day and a half so no need.
I kept my phone, which my daughter said I would give a mean "heroine nod" after pushing my pain pump. She said I'd be mid- text and my hand would slowly drift down into my lap and my head into my chest. Lol...no need for gadgets.
All I needed and USED was my toothbrush, toothpaste (and you didn't need that!), my contacts, glasses, phone and charger and one pair of undies for the ride home. THAT WAS IT. They have towels and washcloths, shower gel, baby oil, body lotion and mouthwash along with the toothbrush and paste.
There was enough on the tv to keep me entertained between nods so, that was it.

I'm trying to return on the 19th. I'm washing clothes and just looking lost. Lol

Is anyone else during on the side of the bed wondering "where do I start? What the hell am I doing?"
What are you taking? Are you nervous?
-
Congrats to you
-
Oh yay! Check in when you can

Are you pooping? Sorry but it's an honest question. My Protein Shakes constipated me something terrible so I had to cut back on them. Drink more Water, poop, no Snacks or nibbles, walk and you should lose.
-
Ahh gotcha
-
I don't own a scale nor am I interested in my weight. I weigh whenever I go to the dr's, if it's required. *shrug*
-
What paperwork?
-
Since were talking about pre op diets, during your last 3 days, you're supposed to be on Clear Liquids. Do you still do your Protein Shakes?
-
How's everyone doing? Toda is day 8 for me and I believe I'm in ketosis. I'm not getting enough in. Plus, I keep eating. It's little things ( salad, smoothie) but it's still eating. The Protein Shakes constipate me something serious. *exhale* There's not much time left.
Also, does anyone else feel kinda numb about this? I'm not nervous nor excited
-

The Protein Shakes dissipate me too. Glad I'm not alone. I drink a "get regular" tea once or twice a day.

June 7th right here baby...... Ready!!!!
Sleeve sisters!
How often do you weigh yourself? and not going crazy
in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

Lol but why? You won't drastically lose lbs by peeing or pooping. If anything you are setting yourself up for disappointment for the next time you eat or drink and see a gain. At minimum, weigh once a week.
PS...mascara weighs a ton so....just kidding
