Went in Wed morning to GBMC in Towson. Took a nap in the OR and woke up in recovery. Pain like a bad stomach ache. 4 holes and a JP drain. Hospital was great. Cute nurses. Walk and sip, Walk and sip. Had trouble sleeping Went home Fri afternoon. Pretty miserable Fri thru Sat morning. Gas Gas Gas. Walk drink walk.

Yea Gas -X strips and Prevacid. Felt good Saturday night, slept well, started full liquids today. So far, OK

More later.

I like your rendition of your surgery, sounds like your are doing pretty good. Are you still taking pain meds? What's your energy level like? Feel any hunger? When do you go back to see the doctor? Have a great Sunday and good luck with your full liquid stage.

I am doing well. Stopped the drugs Friday night. Getting up and down can be painful. ie. chair to standing, getting out of bed, etc., but it's better every day.About once aday I grind up two tylenol and wash them down with crystal lite.Energy is good, but I think it will be a week before I am back to normal. Little shakey sometimes.

Not really hungry but the chobolate muscle milk lite was a treat. The smell of the chicken and meatloaf being cooked in the kitchen didn't really bother me.

I see the doctor Fri and hope to graduate to soft food then.

update: sleeved 2/9

Pain is gone except for a backache in the mornings.

dinner was chicken gravey and a lite yogurt for dessert.

muscle milk for Breakfast and lunch

I love the way you write. Good to know you are going well.

That is great! Glad to hear you're doing well, and you are doing exactly what all sleevers should during the first few weeks... Sip, Walk, Rest. Amen.

I had my surgery on Thursday at GBMC. Dr. Liao. The staff there was fantastic. So far, I've been sleeping so much better since I'm home!

Good luck to you!
