Well, today's the day! I'm kind of numb at the moment, not sure how I feel. I got a call and surgeries are running late so we wait! At least we hadn't left the house yet. I had things planned just so, so I wouldn't have a lot of time to wait and get anxious... oh well! I wish I could drink Water, but I'll deal. Two hours before I can even leave the house. Going to knit because I can't focus on a book or show right now. Wish me luck!

I know we aren't supposed to weigh ourselves for the first week pre-OP (because our bodies are still swollen from surgery), but I just now and had to tell my peeps:
I HIT ONE-DERLAND! As G.O.D.* is my witness, I will never weight 200 again.
*Gagging Or Dumping - the accountability elves.

Day 4 still have gas pains. But I was able to poop!!

Flexing abs, Gary? You're already posing for bodybuilding photos? Huzzah!
I'm 48 hours post-surgery now. I haven't needed the painkillers or anti-nausea meds. I do feel sore "deep" in my stomach, not in the incisions though. Still have gas, feels like a pregnancy contraction but higher up. I just went for a mile walk and had no problems, although I'm moving a little slowly. Did laundry and dishes earlier. In a pinch I could have gone to work - brain not fuzzy at all. Focusing on sip-sip sipping...

Mine never really bothered me much. My surgeon recommend that I massage them multiple times a day as they dimple when I flex my abs now, so that may contribute to the sensitivity.

Had mine early yesterday and getting ready to check out!!! When I came out of anesthesia I was in a lot of pain, lots. Now just tender and a bit of pain. Have been able to drink fluids well. No prob keeping down so far not even with gross Protein Jello. One incision is more tender that the others. I am on iv fluids and pee all the time.
No slime no gas other than burps. Walking around is good. So far so good!

I had my sleeve done June 10. Yesterday was the first day that I felt like myself again. I'm just a little sore still in my abdomen, but I'm feeling pretty great other then that. I'm down over 20 lbs including my pre-op diet weight loss. For the first time in a very long time, I'm looking forward to what the future holds!

So I start my liquid diet Tuesday and I'm starting to freak out a bit. I am getting nervous not really just about the liquids but about after surgery.
I guess I never really looked at it but I do eat my feelings as most of us I think.
Just nervous I guess no second thoughts just need a new way to handle things like feelings.

Being a single mom I realized I need to be healthy so I can do more with my kids and be around longer for them. I come from a family of everyone is obese. We know how to cook and we like to eat. I was in pain all the time, no energy, and depressed. After my divorce I realized my kids needed me more. I need to regain my life and help my kids live a healthy life. I do not want them to have the struggles I have had my whole life. I'm looking forward to a healthier lifestyle and being the best mom I can be.
