My journey-gastric sleeve

[amacox 25]

I had my surgery on May 7th. When I awoke here's what happened.

1. I was soooooo sleepy.

2. My throat hurt

3. I wasn't hungry

4. I didn't walk

5. I had no problem getting up and down to the

6. Took pain meds 3 times

7. Lots of baby sips of Water which kind of hurt if the sips were too big. My orders were 15cc/ 15 minutes. I would drink half wait a minute then drink the other half

Day 2

1. I had slight pain in my left shoulder, when I spoke with the nurse she reminded me that while I was in surgery they filled me up with gas! The only way to get rid of it was to walk (duh) so off I went! And I honestly felt sooooo good!

2. I was not hungry again

3. I walked a mile in incriminates. I would walk come and rest then repeat until I reached a mile

4. No more shoulder pain!

5. I passed gas (early morning-sounds funny but you will understand why it's exciting when you do the sleeve

6. I ate lime jello! Not much again in baby bites

7. I had a bm!!!

8. I was released!!!! As soon I left I filled my pain meds just in case and bought chewable bariatric Multivitamins

9. I ate pudding an entire cup. It didn't hurt thanks to the baby bites

10. I rested

Day 3

I just keep feeling better and better! Still, I take it easy

1. I chewed my Vitamins

2. Started on 16 oz of Water

3. I ate pudding, homemade chicken broth, pudding with Protein powder. Never felt so full!

4. Went to the local grocery store and did my mile still giving myself breaks. Remember to take it easy

5. Went to a family get together for Mother's Day

6. Came home and rested

Day 4

I can drink water with bigger sips!!

Started out my day same as always. Also one thing I've realized, I haven't been nauseous since I had the surgery. Not once. I think it's because I take it easy. I know many people say that weight loss surgery is an easy out but that is completely false. This takes hard work and dedication! Remember that. Also, I have lost 5.3 lbs since my surgery 4 days ago. I don't feel weak or fatigued, because I acknowledge my super surgery. Good luck to you all and I will keep you updated:). I will be on the full liquid diet for 3 more weeks so my diet will be similar from now on.
