    Talking 5 days post op! Journey so far!

    First of all, I want to say thank you to all of you who sent me good wishes for my surgery last Wednesday! God bless y'all, and thank you guys so much!

    I'm officially 5 days post op! The first day after surgery wasn't much for me. I was so loopy doopy, I didn't care about anything but sleeping! Day 2; different story... Day 2 consisted of vomiting, well trying to anyway. Not for the squeamish, but nothing but spit and dry blood came up and let me say OW! That did not feel good in the tummy region! Day 3, complete turn around! I got to go home on Friday! Tips for those getting a sleeve, when they tell you to walk in the hospital, DO IT. It helps get that gas up, and makes you feel SO much better!

    Now I'm at home, walking and still on my clear liquids diet until Wednesday! I'm feeling fantastic! I'm 25 pounds down, and feeling great! Multi-vitamins, tea, water, Iso-pure, Nectar protean, etc. I'm doing great! Also, I'm getting my staples removed from my tummy tomorrow! So excited!


    I love being sleeved!

    How encouraging! I'm getting sleeved on 9/3, next Tuesday and am looking for a buddy to text with. Thanks for your honesty here! I am hoping to skip the puking part but know it's a reality when it comes to recovery. A friend of mine who is already sleeved told me to bring to the hospital fresh lemon slices to smell when you're feeling nauseous. It's worth a try???!!?!?!!!??
    Glad all is well with you.
