Recommended Posts

Day 3 post op, doing well ! I take walks up and down the block 3 or 4 times a day, walk around the house , shower, read with my kids, watch tv and drink liquids all day. Sound right? I have taken about a 1 hour nap today and yesterday. Each day is a little better!

Just got home from the hospital...was only there for 2 days vs three. I had the band removed and the sleeve fixed in. I can get about 3 teaspoons and maybe 5-6 sips of tea or water...that is all I can do. Banded 48 days less of 5 years and sleeved oficially 2 days. How do you have so much energy?

Day 3: enjoying the rain, hoping I can keep my windows open (severe storm watch). Walking around the house, drinking crystal lite, loving sugar free popsicles, taking in a little water/ice cubes, had a Protein Drink (sigh), and half cup of Isopure (blah).

One week post op I was in my recliner asleep. I came home with a sleeve, an umbilical hernia and a severely sprained neck. I was still on T3 and major muscle relaxers. I slept several times a day AND all night. I didn't start to really become coherent till the middle or end of the second week... 3 weeks out and my neck is still sore and so is the repaired hernia, which I JUST strained catching myself from a fall this morning. UGH! :0)

I'm 4 days p.o. from a conversion from banded plication with hernia repair. DH took me to the movies today and it was so nice to get out and feel more "normal". Today I feel like I turned a corner and am definitely feeling better. I'm still sore and can barely drink about 2-3 ounces per hour. My calories are around 300 and Proteins are about 30-40 grams. Not what it should be but everyday it's getting better. I'm so happy to have my band out and to be on the sleeve journey! Take care :)

One week today. I have felt great especially since I got my drain out this afternoon. I am having an opposite issue, I am having trouble sleeping. I have been taking a dose of pain med at night to try and help me sleep (not taking it for pain). I think someone changed my settings on my CPAP at the hospital and think that may be some of my trouble. I slept to 4:30 am and that was the latest I have slept. Driving me crazy because I know on Monday when I have to get up to go to work I won't be that awake!

Yeah! Too good, you're putting me to shame!!! Day 4 and I managed to clean up for company (BF is just another kid around here, actually had more help from my 4 yr old). I was really proud of my couple trips to the deli (like a block away) & now battling with a stuck pill that I stubbornly only cut in 2 rather than four pieces. I'm hoping like hell that losing the battle doesn't mean facetime with my toilet! (didn't get around to scrub that today!)

No drain for me either. My dr uses one if he feels it is necessary. Must not have been for me!

      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.
