Doing great, getting my fluids in. No pain at all at the incisions or anywhere on my stomach. Truly remarkable! I had my appendix out and that felt like I was in the ring with Mike Tyson punching me in the stomach and all my stomach muscles felt like they were being pulled from my body. I could only painfully lay on the couch for a week and every movement was painful. I was expecting similar pain with the sleeve but this has been the easiest damn thing ever. Serious surgery don't get me wrong but this recovery has been a breeze. I can only guess that the surgical team and techniques that Dr. Alvarez has perfected has led to such a good outcome. He is magic!
I have been getting my fluids in, feeling good. No nausea or heart burn. I was really afraid that I was going to have bad heartburn after the sleeve because I had super bad throat burning heartburn before surgery. I was liking chicken noodle soup strained now it smells super disgusting to me. My nose is changing what foods I did like. I like vitamin water, jello, ISO pure grape but no more soup/broth...gross! I had no food for 6 days that's a record for me! I am not hungry but commercials on TV and my mom making her food does make my mouth water. I will always love food,only now I won't be able to eat copious amounts. I Am looking forward to eating like a normal person...kid meals instead the huge meals that plagued me before.
