Sleevelady

Feeling better on Day 5. Made it to church this morning and was pretty tired, but recovered with a 3-hour nap after church. Feeling much better.

It's day 4 since my sleeve. I've had 2 protein shakes and clear liquid sine Tuesay and I'm very disappointed that I weigh the SAME as I did the day of surgery. Im felling better, mostly very tired, but I hash oped to lose something after going through the pain, nausea, etc.

I had sleeve surgery on Tuesday, May 19. My surgeon also fix a stomach hernia that I didn't even know I had. My pain levels on Wed were far more than I expected despite pain medication. For two days I felt very nauseous and would try to vomit but nothing came up. I came home on Thursday and was sooooo tired. Feeling a bit better today and trying to drink my water and protein drinks, but very low energy. How long until I feel like my old self?

I'm planning on going back to work one week after surgery. I have a job where I sit at a desk and go to meetings. Is one week off realistic?

I'm scheduled for May 19 too. I've been following my pre-op diet exactly for 7 days. 4 protein shakes, 1 protein soup, one protein bar and one banana per day. It's about 900 calories. All Bariatrics Advantage products. I'm surprised that I'm really not that hungry although my insides are very gurgely! No Advil, Alieve etc starting tomorrow.
