Oh good. I am glad it was easy for you. I am looking forward to feeling normal again. I am sick of this thing hanging off me.

LOL

It's out! What a strange feeling. So glad it's gone. Starting to feel like a normal person. Hoping your right about the sleeping. I am down 14 pounds! So excited for the future! My back pain is already subsiding.

I was sleeved on the 29th too!

I guess that's just the way he does things. I guess I was so eager to just get it done and over with I didn't notice that my surgeon or anyone there really told me what to expect before or after surgery. I have learned most of what is normal, what to watch for and such on here.

I did OK coming home the next day but felt like I wasn't set up properly to know what to do or how the first week is. I didn't realize how hard it would be to keep hydrated or the pain in my stomach or the gas!!!!

I feel better everyday but I just feel icky. I don't know how to explain exactly how I feel... Nervous, scared sometimes I regret I did it... But I am trying to learn what works. I walk/pace my living room about 5 to 6 times a day. Usually when I take my meds because they are nasty. I try to drink at least 1 Protein shake a day but failing miserably and trying to drink at least a bottle of Water and a sf Popsicle.

My aunt bought me a shaved ice machine so I am going to try to mix unflavored Protein powder in with my Powerade zero and see if I can get more protein in that way. I am barely taking in 200 calories right now.

I never gained weight in the hospital. My starting weight was 307, day of surgery 296, and as of this morning ,284. I feel so fatigued and tired that I just wanna sleep but have a hard time sleeping...

Sorry for such a long post.. I just need feedback!!

Wow me and you were on the same page... I couldn't wait to get out of there I was just so ready to leave that hospital, then when I got home I didn't know what to do....

Had my one month check up yesterday I'm down 46 pounds and on the right track doctor released me to eat anything.
