Everything went well. Honestly, so far, it hasn't been too bad.

I'm starving. I could only have ice chips all day yesterday. The gas pain was horrific, but (tmi) I had a bm almost immediately so that subsided.

The incision with the drain was/is the most painful. Fortunately, most of my pain has come from this stupid IV. I didn't get in a whole lot of walking yesterday, because I was so nauseous. However, I have been getting my walking in since earlier this morning...I haven't gotten much sleep.

I suspect that I won't need very much pain medicine today, because I am starting to feel a lot better. I can't go home until Thursday...my doctor decided that before I came here. The hospital staff is awesome, so I don't mind staying. :)

Thanks for all of the well wishes!!! You have no idea how much they help!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
