I agree with having the support system. No way I could have done this without my husband and mother here to help with kids/dogs

I’m 72 hours post op, definitely relying on the pain meds to get me through but they are also helping me rest a lot, I can feel the gas in my shoulder right now and hoping it dies off these next few days. Walking is great, I’ve only paced around in my home but today I hope to get outside a little bit. Made I through one small Gatorade zero over 12 hours, hoping I can do a protein shake today but they are harder to drink probably b/c they are thicker.

Hi Buddies. It’s 4am in Los Angeles. I had my gastric sleeve yesterday at noon. I was nervous but kept my feelings under control by not allowing myself to think about any details, just staying in the moment. I had a sweet nurse who talked to me as they prepped me. I was able to go home the same day. I’ve been laying down since I’ve gotten home though, it doesn’t hurt to walk but I feel nauseous when I do. I’m wide awake listening to my 81 yr old mom snore like Darth Vader lol!!! She wanted to stay with me the first night while my husband helps with my little girls. I wish you all good luck August Buddies.

Aug 10 for me!
