Day 3 - much better!

So I'm. Im not very good at sitting idle and decided to get some yard work done today. I was surprised at how well I felt today. I was only nauseous twice today but there was still a lot of cramping and spasming of my stomach going on. Pretty uncomfortable at times. I got to have some tomato soup and a protein shake today which made me feel a lot better. Nights have been pretty bad. Waking up 3-4 times a night.

How are you feeling now that it's been a few weeks?
How's it going? Any update on losses?
How's everything going so far? Any heart burn?

Day 2 - not so great

Woke up at 6 am with a lot of discomfort, pressure and nausea that has not subsided since. I have resisted vomiting, which wasn't easy. Day 2 has been kinda rough so far, but nothing that is too unbearable.

Day of treatment

Orbera day 1

So I had my Orbera placed today. I was expecting to feel awful and I actually feel perfectly fine! I guess I got lucky. I am in no pain, only very very slightly nauseous, and very minimal pressure/discomfort. Procedure took like 20 minutes. I went to the grocery store on the way home and got fluids. Now I am home up and about doing chores! Very happy!
