What are you doing week 1 post op?

[artymama 170]

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)

This sounds pretty much like what I have planned for the 1st week after surgery!!

Aww Hun hang in there! They say it will be better.

I am 3 days out. I am just really tired and having trouble getting Protein in, taking naps and sleeping all night too.

Just made 8 days and I'm still sore but so sick of this liquid diet I'm dying to get into the puréed stage I'm so over broth and crystal light! Blah... But today I have up say I'm mentally hungry I can't seem to stop thinking of food I never knew I had an emotional attachment to food it's tough!

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

I know we all have to hang in there!

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!)

[Tiffany0818 17]

Luckily I didn't have any drain!

[artymama 170]

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