So had my sleeve yesterday afternoon. I totally expect to have pain but is it normal for every tiny baby sip to hurt like hell once it hit? Even my pain meds hurt 😭

how long does this last?

Are you home already? If not, may I suggest that you advocate very strongly for different pain meds. Once your pain is well managed you may feel a lot happier during the recovery period that follows

❤CONGRATULATIONS❤

on a safe surgery btw

Thanks guys- doing a little better tonight. Currently negotiating my release lol

i got caught up in a shift change so I was almost 2 hours late on getting pain meds. And that pain is something real!!

as the day has gone on it’s been a pretty achey but not as much of sharp, excruciating pain of last night and this morning.

I started to feel “back to normal” on day 5. By then I was sore but not in major pain and only took my pain meds at night. Very cold drinks bothered me some so I stuck to slightly colder than room temp for the first few weeks. I think it’s all preference and what works for you. Take your time recovering. Congratulations!

I’m home now, and sooo glad to be in my own bed!! I am hoping some real rest and being able to manage my own medication will help a ton. As the day has gone on drinks are a little easier. Still have some pain but now I am pretty much certain the lower tummy stabbing is gas- never have I just wanted to fart so bad 😂😂😂

thank for the encouragement- I was really in the deep this morning. Ok I’m gonna go sleep now.

Update- after a rough week, 2trips to the er and a bunch of tests that said I was fine.... my surgeon advised me to try some Ibuprofen. He said that the muscles near my belly button were probably spasming because of some trauma during the surgery ( cameras and tools and such)
Anyway... I slept through the whole night last night and feel amazing today!!!!!

My Dr sent me home with muscle relaxers and they have been a life saver for sure.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
