Hi all,
On March 24th, 2015 I had my gastric sleeve surgery and boy was it a journey! I had my surgery at 1:30 and was not able to leave recovery until 2:30 AM. I had to stay until Friday in the hospital because I refused to eat or drink anything. I was in too much pain and nauseous.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at home I constantly begged my mom and boyfriend to drive me back to the hospital because I was DYING; however, they refused and just gave me some pain meds.
On Monday, I felt like a brand new person! I felt great and I had a NON-scale VICTORY.... The promise ring my boyfriend bought me for Christmas FINALLY fit. And it was even a little bit big!
Yesterday, I overdid it as I went Prom Dress shopping. I did get my dress, but boy am I in so much pain. Too much bending and moving around. I was not a happy camper the rest of the night. I should have known that I was not ready, but I really wanted to go prom dress shopping with my mom and twin sister!
Today, I am in a lot of pain and nauseous, so I am going to take it easy today. I may go out for a little while to get my nails done and walk around, but I can't overdo it like I did yesterday!
I have not weighed myself, but I feel good. I received many compliments from people who did not even know that I went for WLS. I am also still on Clear liquids until Friday! I will update then!
BTW posting pic of Prom Dress here! I had another victory I went from a size 22 dress to a size 20! Don't mind my face, I was worn out from everything!
