Hello everyone!! Hope all is well. I was sleeved on the 10th at 7 am! I have been home since Friday, doing okay. It's not all peaches and roses but I'm getting there. I have my ups and downs where I feel great one time and the next I am just exhausted. Giving myself the lovenox injections haven't been to bad, but be warned they sting after the fact. I am not getting all my liquids in but I am working on it. Today I started a check off list of my protein fluids vs. regular fluids. Hoping this will help. I have been able to get my vitamins down, but last night they made me sick to my stomach. The main things I am focusing on is my incentive spirometer (for breathing - helps preventive pneumonia after surgery.), walking, sipping fluids, and resting. Resting is the easy part whenever I set on my couch I dose I off. I haven't slept in my bed yet as I am afraid I won't be able to get out, so I have been sleeping in the recliner. Where I can get up and down without having to wake people up to help me get up.

I had my sleeve on the 11th. Not until like 5pm! (That felt like the longest day ever). Came home Friday around 4pm. Am doing well other than tired, tired, tired. I haven't been able to get the full amount of protein yet. That stuff tastes nasty. Yesterday I had 1/2 a SF ice pop, about 24 ounces of SF fluid and about 20 grams (I think it is grams) of liquid protein. Today I will try to get more of the liquid protein.

I am still having some belching and gas but no nausea. I just feel strange. I have changed my body, I can't undo it now and that is weird. I don't regret doing it because I know I needed it,but I wondre will it work, will I be okay.

I work from home and think I will even be up to getting back to work this week. Happy for that. I am tired of watching television and sleeping. But the sleep just comes so quickly.

I think I ended up w a cold as well. I had a stuffy nose the day fo surgery and was just praying that they wound't cancel me but when I woke up I saw that I have a cold sore on my lip and am still a bit stuffy. So I am taking my temperature consistently to make sure there is no problem.

Well onward and upward! Got to change my ticker at the bottom now!

anybody else have a update? And good luck to those going this week!
