Good Luck,,I have my surgery Monday

I was sleeved on Wednesday! Still working through some pain (gall bladder came out too) but starting to feel better!

Had my surgery on Wednesday. Also had my gall bladder out. I was not prepared for the back pain. Not sure if it was laying on that operating table or the gas build up but my back hurt so bad and had a hard time getting comfortable because obviously you can't lay on your stomach so the back took a beating. Stayed in the hospital one night and am home now. Finally feeling able to get up and move around. Don't really want anything other then Water. When my kids had dinner the smell of it made me nauseous. The pain medicine is hard to get down too because it is cherry flavored and just way too sweet for my liking. Otherwise I am happy to say I'm finally feeling a little more like myself. So excited about this new chapter in my life. I feel like its a whole new beginning. My family has been very supportive. I have two teenage son's and a 7 year old daughter who have been very helpful as I have been recovering, and my husband has been like my own personal nurse helping me shower and change bandages. I feel very blessed. Good luck to everyone else pre and post surgery on your journey's.

Welcome to the loser's bench! No lie, the next few days (weeks?) are going to be rough, but you WILL get through and you WILL feel normal again.

My nutritionist gave me a great idea because I have teenage boys and a husband that have no problem eating everything and not gaining weight. She said that if you see it you will eat it, even if you don't want it you will just walk in the kitchen and graze. She said to get a basket or one of those big totes (like you would put christmas decorations in) and put the Snacks in there and then in a pantry. That way your family can still have access but you don't have to see it.

I didn't get liquid pain meds until day after surgery and it came right back up. After that they gave it thru iv. The 3rd day out it took me a while to drink the liquid. They gave me a dose before discharge too. I have only used about 2ozs of it since being home.

I am in shock. I already have my approval. They said they were going to expedite it because I need my gall bladder out as well but I never expected it that quick! So thankful. Fyi in case anyone is interested I have Staywell, Florida
