Gastric Sleeve Nov 14 2014

[capiccirillo 3]

I had my sleeve done on Fri Nov 14 and had severe reaction to anesthesia. Vomiting nausea abdominal pain weakness in walking....it was miserable. Even started to question if doing this was the right decision. Then on Sunday morning I woke up and felt a great deal better.....walked around nursing station several times, even washed up and put on my own pjs and got out of hospital gown. Going into surgery I weighed 263 and on Sun I weighed 255 than yesterday I weighed 248......seeing those results and feeling better lets me know this was the right decision. Slowly drinking Protein Shakes but barely eating much of anything feeling full from Protein Drinks and Water. I make have two or three spoonfuls of yogurt ....crazy to me.

Congrats on joining the Loser's Bench. I wasn't able to eat but a bite or 2 per day for the week post-op. Concentrate on staying hydrated first, food second. I knew that I had enough calories stored on my body to feed me for months!

It is hard, emotionally and physically, those first few days post-op, but it will get easier day by day. In 6 months, you'll look back and wonder what took you so long to have this life changing surgery!

I hope it goes that way for me, I've been trying to put Protein Powder in the soft foods lately but today if tasted nasty I'm gonna keep doing my best so I'm prepared for when the surgery happens. Thanks for the encouragement
