It's done...

[Night 25]

I got sleeved on Tuesday and whooooo boy. No major complications just major nausea all the fucking time (pain too argh)! it's hard to get in fluids because of that but I'm trying!

I'm glad to see a lot of you are doing well!

12/20 here also! Good day today. Throat is better, lungs normal. Just muscle soreness and itchy, healing incisions. Sipping is more annoying than I expected, but I'm drinking Gatorade G2 (doctor's ok) to stay better hydrated. Also, fabulous BF brought home sugar free hard candies. Although I'm already sick of fruit everything, they help a lot. So far organic veggie broth tastes best. But man I cannot wait for next phase, never thought I'd be looking forward to sugar/fat free pudding. But, I will say that artificial sweetener has been surprisingly more palatable post-op. While I hope to transition to more natural, low glycemic sweeteners eventually, I'm really thankful for that.

I was sleeved on the 22nd I felt awful that day and yesterday I slept all day. Today I feel much better they gave me a Protein Shake which I've been sipping. Hoping to go home today!

I have not I saw it but went for muscle milk I will try that one next. I'm not a big chocolate fan so I will probably want the other flavors.

3 days post op. The first day home was uncomfortable, probably because I was off the IV meds. However I got a good night's sleep. Moving around better today... hoping that every day gets better

I'm 3 days post op [emoji4] and yes 34 is YOUNG! I'm supposed to try a Protein Shake today, but I'm a bit reluctant since I have been experiencing a little bit of nausea with just water... but I'm just going to sip slow and hopefully everything stays down [emoji15]

One of my incisions is pretty uncomfortable, with some swelling and redness. Hopefully it calms down so I don't have to go have it checked or re-dressed [emoji21]

I probably shouldn't be checking the scale yet, but I am down 2 lbs from my surgery weight so I was happy to see that! Not going to lie though, I bounce back and forth between regret and knowing how much happier/healthier I'll be once the really hard/painful part is over. It's definitely a mental challenge.

[PhillyAj 90]

i agree laughkc11-it is all mental. that has been the hardest challenge for me. im used to going to food for comfort during good times & bad & now i cant-this is a lifestyle change. not to mention-to do this during the holidays is extremely hard!!!

I am getting my sleeve this coming Tuesday... the very next day as you! I just friended you. Good luck. It will go well! I am nervous and excited about it too.

[Robin Ervolina 3]

I had mine on the 20th as well! The throat was never sore, but it was raspy for the first few days. The gas pain persists but I'm hanging in there. Today is the first day I've felt human. We're even going to a movie tonight (one of those nice places that bring you food and alcohol ... yeah, I'm taking a Protein Shake in my purse. Lame.)

[DopeIP 9]

Soooo I just checked my belly button incision and idk if it's infected or not it was itching and I didn't scratch but I took a picture and it looks gross... idk what to do if it's infected or if this is normal. Sorry if this picture is gross but I didn't know if someone would know before I panic
