V Pauli got a reaction from Pastor Paula Jackson in August 2013 Roll Call
I think everybody is different, like everything. I was really never tired. My mom had to remind me to stay still "you just had surgery" she said.. And she wouldn't let me do anything, I love her. I didn't really nap at all.
The hardest day for me, of course, was day 1. Other than that it's been unbelievably easy. No pain, a little nausea rarely though. I went swimming for the first time yesterday and stationary bike felt good, I was a little tired after that.
My surg was on 8/27.
I'm a nurse, it's my 2nd week back at work and it's ok. So grateful that things had been working out this way. I was expecting a harder recovery but I'm not complaining. SO BLESSED!!
Sending everyone good positive vives

Yeah, I didn't loose any weight for 8 days and that was right after the Surg. But now it's starting to move down again at about 3/4 lb a day BUT also remember that someone who's 300+ lbs is gonna drop much more weight than someone who's 200+ you know. So really you can't compare yourself to others. Make sure you eat so you can keep your metabolism going and get enough Protein so you don't loose muscle.
Pretty soon you'll be sharing your before and after pics ; )
Good luck

I can't believe I did it. Had the sleeve yesterday and I'm not gonna lie the first 24 hrs we're thought. But, mainly because of the gas so I walked, walked and walked every 2-3 hrs and took some gas x I'm feeling sooo much better. I really don't gave that much pain or nausea. I've only had to take one dose of pain meds and nothing for nausea.

At Reno, the pills you can crush them, of course not if they are coated or capsules. You could also find out if they have them in liquid or chewable form. Tell your surgeon about the throwing up, you have to be able to keep something down. For the gas/burping get some gas x changes or strips, that really helps.
Good luck to you!!
