I'm scheduled for the 23rd. ????

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.

My surgery is also today. I'm taking things one step at a time.

Are you on the pre-op diet yet? My surgeon does 3 weeks so I started last Wednesday.

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

Y'all are doing so well! It is amazing how far we've traveled emotionally over the past six months. Authorization to preop diet then surgery and recovery. It is a journey well-worth the effort.

I just completed my second half-day of work. Surgery was Wednesday 8/3. I can do a lot. Doing jerky/fast things like trying to catch something as it falls is stupid... Even an empty rubber made bin weighing almost nothing. No lifting. Testing, decorating, organizing. It can be done. The only concern is not being able to drink enough when distractions present themselves. Actually lost my voice towards the end of my 4 hour shift. The rest was success. Feels good to be so productive.
