Gastric Sleeve Nov 14 2014
I had my sleeve done on Fri Nov 14 and had severe reaction to anesthesia. Vomiting nausea abdominal pain weakness in walking....it was miserable. Even started to question if doing this was the right decision. Then on Sunday morning I woke up and felt a great deal better.....walked around nursing station several times, even washed up and put on my own pjs and got out of hospital gown. Going into surgery I weighed 263 and on Sun I weighed 255 than yesterday I weighed 248......seeing those results and feeling better lets me know this was the right decision. Slowly drinking protein shakes but barely eating much of anything feeling full from protein drinks and water. I make have two or three spoonfuls of yogurt ....crazy to me.

Not having support from partner
Thank you.....today I expressed my feelings and opened up while my partner sat there in silence....not uttering one word except saying how sorry she is. I am filled with complete sadness because I wanted more than sorry and when I didn't get it I just felt sad. I guess this process will change various aspects of my life including weight loss. Not quite feeling like myself tonight.....just very sad and down and keeping to myself. I am not sure what I am feeling......JUST HURT

Not having support from partner
My partner of 7 yrs says she supports my decision to have the sleeve surgery yet makes comments about well if you went to the gym and ate smaller meals you could lose weight. My nutritionist says I eat very well but with my PCOS it's hard to loss weight and I struggle. But hearing those comments makes me feel she doesn't get it and makes me feel like I'm a failure for doing this for me. I want this surgery to get back my life and overcome this weight obstacle. I go to my nutrition classes and come home excited about what I learned and went to share it with her but she makes comments how can that be healthy, are you of sure she said that, she can't be right, if you were a eating healthy you wouldn't be overweight......who wants to hear that and everything I eat my partner sees. I don't cheat. I'm just feeling really down and the support I need on the home front base I am not getting and want to know anyone else dealing with this....

I agree it is very helpful reading these posts and knowing there are a lot of others that are going through this or have gone through this. I believe unless you have it is hard to relate to all that we go through. It definitely has been great having this outlet.

Ya its frustrating but it allows us to get everything done and also make some small changes daily so when it comes to the big change our mind set is semi prepared. Today went to store and decided to challenge myself to 1 wk prep op diet for Breakfast and lunch to see what it's like sticking to diet. Crazy I know but I also put together a Thinner Me List of things I want to do and things I never would do cuz of my weight get excited thinking of what is to come Stay in touch w me.....we can be sleeve buddies since we are having ours done around same time

And yes it does feel like forever. I was told w these nutrionist appointments for the next 6 months it allows me to prepare more in stages for my new eating habits and it will give a greater success. So I am happy and thankful to just be able to make this change and know time will fly by and it will be surgery tome before I know it
