June 11 surgery day

[SAhring1105 1]

Well, my surgery day has come to an end. Overall, I'm doing really good I think. It hurts to walk when I have to use the restroom, but everything is going according to plans and all. I have a pain pump full of dilaudid to help me when the pain is at the worst. But I haven't used the meds too much. The pain is bearable at times and I don't want to overuse the meds. I am so excited to go home to my boyfriend and our son - who was throwing up sick when I left for surgery. I hated that he was sick. At least I got to talk to him at bed time.

I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Yesterday was my surgery as well, sadly I am in a lot of pain and not able to keep much down. The gas pressure is horrible and also affecting my back...hopefully the pain goes down by tomorrow. I hope you are on the fast track to recovery, you sound like you are doing well so far, keep it up! Good luck!

I got sleeved on Tuesday too. Felt great in the hospital, no nausea was sipping away at juice and Water, now at home today I was nauseous 2x, wth! It went away pretty quickly though. The second time came after mixing the gross gallbladder med in cool whip. I think I ate too much of it (3 spoons to get all the meds down). I am looking forward to Saturday when I can start my yummy Protein supplements and puddings. I lost 37lbs pre op, can't wait to see what comes off post op!

Congrats to you, I hope you are home, as I am. Walking around, watching the NBA finals, and sip sip sipping on Water. I've gotten all my Water in for the day by starting my sipping as early as 7am. Best of luck to you!

Thank you everyone. The Water has been hard for me to get in as I still have been sleeping alot throughout the day- because of the pain meds.. But I have done much much better for water than yesterday. My pain is still there, but it's getting bearable. I just need my 6 yr old son to realize he needs to be gentle..

I still can't believe that I only have 15% of my stomach. I feel so normal, I guess I thought I would feel different after wards. I do still very hungry, but it's sated much quicker. Anyone else still in shock that it's done and over with. I really haven't had any problems thankfully. Did have 1 episode of drinking too much too fast that scared me a little, but other than that, I've been fine. I've only lost 9lbs since surgery, but 45 total between pre op and now.
