Hello Sleevers! So, last night, I was finally not too sore to try to sleep in my bed (instead of the recliner). I got all comfy cozy on my left side, had a pillow propped under my belly and thought all was well...until...the broth that I'd sipped on about 45 minutes before going to bed decided to make an appearance. No, no vomiting, just a serious case of burps/reflux. I turned over to the other side and VOILA - no more burpies!!!

Note to self: do not sip anything other than Water an hour before bed unless you want it to revisit you. Also, try to fall asleep on the right side.

Otherwise, I am feeling better every day. For some reason, taking a shower is still a bit tiring, but I am getting around a lot better than I was even a couple days ago. The only thing that is driving me NUTS is the itching of the incision sites. But I will take itching over pain any day.

I have my one week follow up on next Thursday and don't have a scale, so I don't know how much I've lost but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Take care Sleevers!

You are doing great! Sounds like you are well on your way to a healthy, quick recovery. I think you will find a little more energy every day. Thanks for sharing your progress with us. I'm sending healing thoughts your way!

Kellz!!! You sound like you are doing great!! Keep up the good work!! Remember the first few days are the hardest but it will get easier. I got sleeved on 5/13 and I feel like my old self only lighter!! I go back to work on 5/31. I'm eating soft scrambled eggs, soft broccoli cheese soup, soft stewed chicken. I'm eating about 1/2 cup at each meal along with a glass of fat free/lactose free milk [trying to get in my protein!!] I just started getting in all of my vitamins and so far so good!! Please keep us posted on your progress. Take real good care of yourself!!
