Good morning all so today is my fourth day post-op ( surgery was Monday May 7th) the first day or two was rough. Like most of the blogs stated the gas pain was worst then anything. Walking is the key to getting rid of it although it seems to come and go, which from what I read is normal. I was able to walk from the very day of my surgery, I am not having any problems keeping any liquids down, I even sipped on a protein drink post op day 2 ( not much but a couple sips gonna work on that more). I have no hunger whatsoever which is GREAT! I love the fact that I am NOT hungry at all! I know this sleeve is going to be a wonderful tool, I have not weighed myself and honestly don't really want to just yet, I want to focus on healing and getting my routine down before I worry about the weight coming off because I know it will. If I had to complain about anything it would be my sleeping pattern. I have not gotten much sleep since surgery bc I am just not comfortable enough to sleep through an entire 8 hours. But I try to take my pain meds right before bed time and when I wake up its normally 4-5 hours later which it is okay for me to take them again, and by then I'm usually needing a little more. I am looking forward to feeling more like myself every day and promise to keep you all posted. Thanks to for the prayers and support, this is truly an amazing site with amazing people. Happy Friday All!!!
