Just checking in sleeve was Friday 8/5. The night in the hospital was horrific. I came home Saturday afternoon and my husband has been a great nurse. He goes back to work today and it will be me and our two greyhounds.

I have been adding gene pro to Soup and yogurt to get more Protein in.

Today's goal is more Water.

I'm so sorry you had such a rough night in the hospital! Sounds like things are looking up now. Did you experience a lot of pain? Hope you're feeling even better soon!

I had a lot of nausea and a nurse who wouldn't give Iv push that was ordered so I threw up and that hurt wickedly.

Had my surgery on the 4th. So I've been home a few days now. I dont have any excruciating pain, but I notice as the day starts to end my tummy hurts more. These few days have been trial runs. The first two days home, I kept falling asleep before I'd finish a shake. Lol. I think my gas pains are subsiding, thank the lord! But I've now started to have back pain, especially when I get out the bed. I've been pretty lucky, no adjustments have needed to be made for sleeping. In the hospital I laid on my side the whole time, the sitting up was the most uncomfortable for me.

I tell yall, the head hunger is real. Most people say they dont get it, Im here to play the offense. I see commercials or watch cooking shows and Im like dang I could eat that. Lol. Even tho I really couldn't. Every sip of a shake is a chore, every spoonful of broth is a chore. I dont in actuality want to eat anything bad, but Im craving real food something awful. I mean food I wasnt even eating prior to surgery. Daily I dream of cauliflower mash. Lol

My struggle is so very real, but at least its just one day at a time.

Good luck to you all

It's never too late, until its too late
