Two weeks post op #sleeved
Hello Realselfers!! I'm 2 weeks Post op and I can't complain too much... Beside eating everything is fine.. No pain from my incision.. Only a Lil nauseous still and maybe some cramps. Otherwise I'm fine, but eating is a challenge I'm doing horrible with protein and fluids only getting maybe 30 gr of protien and maybe 20 or 30 oz of fluids.. I get super full... I tried tuna it's staying down I can only get like a spoon full down Tho... I love Popsicles and apple sauce, I'm now a big fan of Greek yogurt. And I'm loving the Poweraid zero... Other ways I'm trying to get my protein is chewy protein bars. I'm currently 21 pounds down I know right not alot and no where near goal but it's a start and I'm excited my wife says she can see it?.. I can't but hey, tomorrow I go see the surgery for my first appointment post op I'm hoping for great all good things, I want to try protein chips has any of you guys?? Oh yeah I start my work out tomorrow with the doctor's approval I'm super excited!!! So here's some stats

Eating
Hey guys I'm 3 days post.. And I'm slowly sucking on Popsicle and mini bits of mashed potatoes ...the pain comes and goes which suck!! Thankfully the nausea is finally controlled better.. I did some walking yesterday, I tried to the whole mall but that didn't work out so well. So my wife has to get me a wheelchair.. Plus everyone was looking at me funny from how I was holding my stomach, which didn't bother me to much.. Cause some people really nice. Other than that I can't sleep on my side or stomach yet! Which is horrible on my back.. I hate getting up and down from the couch or toilet because it hurt sooooo much.. I have lots of support though but I have a problem asking.. I'm kinda do it all girl but I'm noticing right now isn't the time.. I haven't weighed my self yet I figured I give my surgeon the pleasure of telling me than I'll began to weigh my self. Even with all the complations I'm still proud and happy about my surgery being sleeved is the best.
Sleeved
I'm officially sleeved guys!! It hurt like hell! I mean the nausea is certainly out weighing the pain ....i arrived to the hospital at 7am sharp I went right back And started pre op followed by seeing the surgeon and the hospitalist and anesthesiologist. Finally I got undressed I was able to see my spouse for about 15 mins than I was pushed back... They said hello and by the time I could say hi back I was out... I came out maybe a hour later to recovery where I felt HORRIBLE them gas pains.. The nausea oh lord... Finally after i was woke for a bit they took me to my room and everyone was so nice. They got me set up and brung the family up... I was so drugged I really didn't see much. My first time going to the bathroom was horrible I felt like my stomach was splitting... Everything I took.. Came up from meds.. To water... After a while it stopped.... I was released the next day... And before I left I did some walking finally made it home... Now I'm just relaxing trying to stay ahead of the pain.
