Hey Bronx New York I Joined

Hey bronx new yorkers I have joined the sleeved club. I was sleeved on 4/11/12 and everything went great according to doctors. I wanted to get out the bed about 3pm and want to drink water but had to wait that was Thursday in the am. Now Thursday afternoon I made a bad turn and felted really sick and could not drink anything I could not even lay down. So I got worried and the doctors did too. I was kept longer and sent for a CT and 2 nebs. I was off the pain killer early because I was so ichy. Turns out that I had a running nose and as it feel to the back of my throat it may it hard for me to cough and it also caused a painful coughing attack. I was just taking tylenol the first night and had a hard time.

As for today I am drinking 4 - 6 oz of clear and i crushed the vicodin because of the painful coughing. My husband brought me some sugar free cough drops that is also helpful for the cough. Finally I don't regret it I am doing good. TMI sorry I past gas like crazy and finally went poop. lol calling doctor's office for my after surgery appts.

Sorry for the update so late but I am doing good now. I got over the problem and now on solids. I am following everything like my life depended on it. I eat my protien first because I can't really eat alot if I have space i try to eat my steam vegs and try to get some starchs in. I drink boost for my Protein shake twice a day to complete my protein in. Try not to drink and eat and eat slow too.

Everyone is different just work on some changes now and to take it slow.
