Wow! It has been 1 month since being sleeved.

It has not been without it's little challenges, but it is something that I am so happy to have had done. It's still early days, and I am still on a puree diet, but I am now feeling good. I still have some nausea and am getting used to the different feelings in my tummy and learning how to eat, when I am full, learning all my body signals. I have made a few little errors, but it's all a learning process, and I am happy with the way I am ...

It's been an interesting few days.
Mostly good, and post surgery everything seems fine.
But had a funny turn 2 days ago which scared the life out if me.

A better day today.
Had a tough couple of days, and was only allowed home from hospital yesterday.

Feeling really good. Still have some pretty bad gas pain, but otherwise great. So well in fact that they have just taken me off the oxygen and my IV. Am not connected up to anything. Now the real test begins as I will need to swallow pain killers orally. Praising God for how well it is all going. x
