Am I doomed? (Please say no!)

Kelly, the OP on this thread had her surgery today. She is no longer pre op. I hope she will check in here when she can and that we all will try to give her the emotional support that she will need in these first post op weeks.

Hi everyone!

Well, surgery was yesterday at 11:00 am and I was home by 3:00 the next day (today). Waking up from surgery was the hardest part - I was very nauseous when I woke up but that seemed to go away soon enough. There was a little bit of pain but mostly I am just uncomfortable. I just went for a walk (a little under a mile) and feel good ... just a bit crampy.

I'm extremely tired and still feel somewhat out of it but otherwise I'm doing pretty good. Oh ... I've been able to sip on a little Water and a little broth but not much at all. Sorry I'm not writing much now - I will write more tomorrow.

Hope you all are doing well!

Kelly

Glad you're feeling so well! The loopiness will wear off and eventually when your diet changes you'll get your energy back. Keep walking to help the gas, and gas x strips. Sip sip sip! You HAVE to stay hydrated Just don't push yourself. Now is your time to take it easy and relax and rest. Between walks of course happy birthday to your new tummy!

Ugh! While yesterday was great - today was very difficult. Lot's of dry heaves, extremely tired, and sharp pains behind my breast bone. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

sorry I remember those first days! They are hard and I spent more than a few minutes wondering what the heck did I do to myself this time.

Just reread this. SAME!!! I have no problem dieting! It's maintenance. That's why I approach the sleeve as a tool as opposed to a diet. You can't quit the sleeve
