Just got sleeved yesterday - I think i read about the pain and nausea but *was not* prepared for that. The hospital was extremely accommodating though, giving me a ton of nausea meds and narcotics to ease the pain. Mostly, that stuff put me to sleep. I woke up this morning feeling a little better, but am still in vague pain near my drain. Drinking the three drinks they gave me has probably been the hardest thing to in my life, ha. I'm hoping this feels better by tomorrow, or by Monday when we leave to go home.

okay, posting a more detailed post now that i'm out of bed and not vomiting.

it's day 3 now and i've been walking the halls as much as i can. i took the barium test this morning and while it wasn't that bad, the big sips i had to take made me lose all the liquids in my belly the moment i got back to my room. since then it's been a little bit of a challenge to get down any liquids. dr campos says it's because of my esophagus spasming. another dr came in later on and told me it's quite normal to not be able to take things down or even to vomit, but to work on my breathing and it'll be okay. removing the drain wasn't that hard, but it was the best feeling not to have a drain - almost the same as taking that first shower!

i haven't heard anything about nexium or any ppis i'm supposed to take. is that something we're supposed to go do on our own?

      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.
