PsychoMantis

I gained three pounds, but after I realized I was constipated I took a laxative and the next day I lost those three pounds.

The thing that works for me is not having that temptation around me in the first place. I just don’t buy it and keep it near me. Also playing virtual reality games can not only help keep you active, but busy. So busy that sometimes I forget to eat.

I find it interesting that so many people had gas pain from the sleeve, I had zero gas pain, only pain from the incisions, but to be fair I think I slept through it. I don’t remember waking up in recovery at all. I only remember waking up at 8 pm thinking the incision pain was horrible whenever I moved. I had more gas pain when I had my hysterectomy.

I had acid reflux before the surgery, but the doctor also fixed a hernia when he did the sleeve so I haven’t had any heartburn with meds. Also my post nasal drip is pretty much gone. I would wake people up or keep them up at night coughing up phlegm.

I weighed myself today with my new scale while completely naked and it said I was at 215, the scale is as accurate as the one at the doctors office, I weighed myself with the same clothes on the new scale last night to check the accuracy after seeing the doctor yesterday. I probably lost a pound and my clothes and watch were probably about 4 lbs since it’s winter, meaning truly I have about 65 lbs to go.

The pain from sneezing or coughing is real. Choked a bit on my own saliva and it hurt. Laughing hurts too.

Yeah I tried to add hot sauce to my diet again, worst idea ever.

Here are pictures of the hives, they have started to spread to the incisions too.

Personally I packed way too much. I have ish I had brought less actually. I slept most of the time because the pain meds knocked me out. I did play a little Pokémon, but it was maybe for like 30-60 minutes total. I only stayed one night, but I brought a Switch, my iPad, my Quest 2, a quilt, and my Surface Pro 7. Really just bring like your phone or tablet along with clothes and toiletries and you’ll be fine. Chargers help too.

Is it common for doctors to use medical glue to close the incisions? I told them I was allergic to it, they put an allergy tag on me, yet they still used the glue and now I have the hives and a rash.
