Journey to the New Me Through Gastric Sleeve Surgery - Macon, GA

I had my surgery Oct 20, 2014 and the first two days I was in and out due to the Anest and pain killer. I got out of the hospital Oct 22,2014. The first couple of days I was nausea trying to get use to my new stomach. It would be an under statement to say that I haven't question myself whether I did the right thing. I'm pretty sure I will see it in the next couple of months. At this moment my appetite is gone. I am pratically making myself drink and eat liquid broth, protein shakes, water, jello, etc. I'm hoping my appetite will come back over time where I can enjoy smaller portion of a meal. My stomach is still swollen and even though I have lost a total of 30 lbs all together I don't see it in my clothes due to swelling in my stomach. I will be totally glad when the stomach heal because I'm not enjoying the cramping feeling my stomach get when I eat or drink liquids. I take my time eating because I hate that feeling but it still comes and goes but it's not extremely bad. So I'm praying that the stomach will heal up nice and the cramping pain will go away in due time.

My surgery date is almost here. Oct 20th to be exact, I'm on my liquid diet now and whew the first day is the hardest and you can guest my first day is today. I feel so hungry and feeling like I can eat a horse....lol....not exactly a horse!!! Please pray for me because I will soon be on the loser bench.

I didn't have time to update Friday, Sept 5th, but I got approve by my insurance so I was pretty happy about that.
