    For me every day it gets better, and the fisrt 4-5 days were difficult... I hope you hit the up swing soon. I can say that I feel 100% better 2 weeks post-op then I did 4 days post-op but I feel 1000% btter then before the sleeve, so I think it will be way worth the pain for now... TMI, my period started lightly on day 3 and was about 2 weeks early too, so I guess it may be normal like a body shock or something... good luck and chin up girly ;-)

    Ty everything went well and aside from the crazy gas pains I'm not doing bad. How did yours go?
  7. I still have a drain in and will until Tuesday! I keep over analyzing what is in it and keep thinking "Why have I put myself and my kids through this?" My husband has been great and so have the kids. I think my hormones are messed up because I started my period last night (2 weeks early!) I am still on clear liquids until tomorrow, then I go back to full liquids like pre-op. I feel better today than yesterday and that is what I am going to base my recovery on Thanks for your reply, it really means alot to know someone is there who REALLY understands.

    The first day I felt normal hm

    after the 1st 3-4 I did slowly improve 2 steps forward 3 back, I think by the 2nd week I felt like myself again. I went back to work after one week and it was tiring, but it actually helped me remember to drink/eat.

    I wanted to lay in bed, bc I was so tired & in pain, but when I got my butt up - I felt a million times better!

    I still have days here & there where I forget to eat all day because I never get hungry all day, but then days like today where I eat pretty good, that I almost feel like I am normal. I still eat WAY less (the norm for us) but I eat what my kiddos are eating and I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks and drink good.

    I still vomit here and there. It's usually my fault because I have a hard time waiting to drink after I eat - so I will go drink something and then *BARF* But it isn't too horrible. It's almost like sneezing lol. quick and easy....so gross lol

    Hmmm whatelse. I didn't exercise at all really for the 1st 6 weeks. Walked a lil, but nothing big. At 6 weeks I joined a Zumba class SOOOOOO fun and I do that 3 days a week. I also bought some at home work out tapes for beginners. Those are for the days I don't have Zumba.

    So what exactly is your mind playing tricks with?

    It's more of a mental process than physical anyway.the hard part is over,now you just have to adjust. You're gonna do great! You just had the surgery so it's normal to feel the way you are.

    PS..you have an awesome smile!!!!

    I sent a friend request to you. I see we are both getting our sleeves on Monday!

    How are you doing? I'm pretty excited, surely the nerves will kick in sometime soon (I hope not). It will be great if I can go in feeling as good as I do at the moment.
  14. That would be great! Thanks for responding, I work in Kountze and live in Beaumont!
