4 days post op.....

Surgery was Friday, May 15th. Doc generally keeps patients in hospital for 2 days and would have kept me a 3rd if I wanted, but I was anxious to get home. Friday I remember nothing from after the surgery. Saturday was a rough nauseous day, nurse brought me a Phenergran injection, so that knocked me for a 16 hour loop right into Sunday. Finally kept everything down from about noon Sunday and since then. This is rough though. Not easy AT ALL!!! Praying for all the patients that have had their sleeves done, and the patients in the process of getting theirs done. One day at a time.

My only advice is be prepared to be exhausted for the first few weeks. I am currently not working so I am able to take a nap daily. Thank Goodness! Eventhough, you aren't hungry...your body thinks it's starving. My doctor said that once I can get my caloric intake up to 1000/day I will begin to have more energy...looking forward to advancing my diet next week and adding more protein. Good Luck!
