I am at day 7 post-op! Whoooooo! I am still a bit sore but not in a huge amount of discomfort. I am concerned about the large incision because it is still draining but I am told that is normal and it takes the longest to mend. I enjoyed the experience through Dr. Almanza. He has impeccable bed size manner and his staff were accommodating and attentive. The flight back home was hard on me needless to say yet I made it. I met a woman on the flight who was in Mexico having the sleeve procedure at a different medical facility. It was nice to connect with her. We have been keeping in touch daily. I also met many other people at hospital who had the surgery a day or two before me which made me feel more confident because they were walking around upright. They did not demonstrate discomfort and they bragged about Dr. Almanza. I made the right decision.
Right now my battle in fluid intake... I am struggling to get the adequate amount of fluids into my body. However, I can tell when I am getting dehydrated because my tummy gets spasms and when I consume too much I feel bloated. I am listening to my body and following the nutritional layout to the letter (or at least I try) I stick with the allowable foods I just don't get enough of them inside of me. I'll keep working at it.
