Here I Go (My Journey Thus Far)

[Litecaramel 58]

Just some of what was happening that caused me to breakdown. And I'm not usually an emotional person like this.

The nurses are nice. The staff just doesn't answer when u press the call button!
I actually fell asleep waiting for them. Was in so much pain started crying man. It was the worst. Imagine being alone sick and no one is coming to check on you. And u can't do nothing for yourself cause you can't move. [emoji24] At least if I can get home I know someone there cares about me. Shoo.

Today it took 20 mins and then they didn't come I yelled out in the hallway. Nurse apologized and said no one called her

Yeah so I'm not bothering with call button anymore. 5 mins later no one answered. So I walked over to station and there's like 5 people there! I just asked them to call my nurse and she came right away

Unfortunately I couldn't move so I had to rely on call button again

Ok enough sad stuff: hey this beef broth is good! After not eating for so long I'm loving this. Forcing myself to go real slow though. So far so good, no issues or noises. It just feels like regular to me. Don't notice difference in stomach yet.

I do. I have great coworkers and a great boss. We're like family so although they don't know what surgery I had they do know I had surgery and will support me.

It's taking all my willpower not to grab this bowl of beef broth and gulp it down. It's sooo good. [emoji39]. But I know I have to do small sips. Then after I'll go for a walk before trying the rest of my liquid tray

[Litecaramel 58]

Went for walk when came back rose was waiting for me. [emoji4]

This sugar free Gelatin they gave me Is nasty. But it's got 20grams of Protein so I'm toughing it out

I love your posts!!! Welcome to the club! You remind me so much of myself when I went to surgery! I'm 7 months out and I can tell, I have no regrets. If I had to go back in time, I would choose having the sleeve again in a heartbeat.

So I made it through the nasty Gelatin. Then a cup of crystal light. Just 1/2 cup Water more to go and I can be discharged. As long as I don't throw up.

[Litecaramel 58]

So it's 5:30pm and I'm finally being discharged. Whoo hooo. Just waiting for my ride to come.

So I finally made it home around 7:30pm. Pain meds had worn off so I had to wait to get home to take otc meds and let those kick in.

Day 1 home so far has been a struggle. I'm struggling to drink the Protein and get my Water in. Ugh

[Litecaramel 58]

So far I've drank 1 Protein Shake and about 20ounces of Water. Throat is killing me though. Struggle to swallow.

I had my first bm earlier today as well.

All in all the pain is much less than my previous c-section. In fact if my throats was good I'd be doing much better.
