ER visit 6/12/13 9 days postop

Decided to go to ER for fluids since the doctor said it would help my lightheadedness. I got fluids and was sent home. I am back home and still lightheaded. Am drinking as much as I can and it is not helping. I hope it goes away and I will not have to call the doctor back.

One month post-op appointment (July 3rd)

One month has flown by and I had my big weigh in at the doctors office, which I was excited to see what it would say. I am at 202 from 235! In one month I lost 33 pounds and have went down a size in pants and 1/2 a shoe size. I also was wearing a 2XL to now wearing some L. So glad I had this life changing surgery!

day one at home after surgery

I have been doing very well. I love my doctor for sending me home with liquid pain meds and a pain pump. I feel that I have been eating all day! I have had around 20ozs of water, 2 sf popsicles, 1 fudgesicle, broth, and some jello. I ate a the popsicles and the fudgesicle. A little bit of the broth and jello. I have not gotten sick and hope I don't! I also have not felt full yet either! Will give an update later in the week. Carla

Day two at home 6/6/2013

I have been very nauseous today and have not got my 40ozs in today. I also have problems with seeing things. Things that are up close are very blurry, but I can see thing far away a little bit better. I have never had eye problem. I have slowed up on pain meds and hoped it would help with the eye problems, but it has not worked so far. Also hoping that I can finally go to the bathroom and bloating will go away.

5/3/13 Liquid Diet day

First time to ever blog! Today is clear fluids only and is the only day that I had to do it pre-op. Tomorrow is surgery day! Have to be at the hospital around 2:30pm. I am ready to be healthy not only for myself, but my three kids, husband and body! I can't wait to see what the future holds for me and my beautiful family!     Carla

One week post-op appointment

I am down to 216 from 235 in one week! 19 pounds gone! I have not weighed this in years. My husband has never seen me this small, I love it! The doctor said everything was good and then I had to talk to the nutritionist. she said to start taking some vitamins and start my protein shake.

Day 9 post-op

I have been lightheaded since yesterday. Almost passed out one time yesterday! Being at home with three kids, that was scary. I checked my BP and it was 95/65, very low. So I called my doctor's office this morning because I am still lightheaded. They said it is because I am dehydrated! I believe it because I have been having a hard time getting the 40ozs. in, but have been very close everyday. So, now I have to try to drink as much as I can today and if it doesn't get better then I will hav to be admitted to the hospital to get fluids. I am doing nothing, but drinking all day. So far I feel the same.

6/7/2013

Feeling much better today! I took my pain pump out last night and finally had a BM this morning. My vision is getting better since the pump is gone. Go Monday for post-op. Can't wait to see how good my sleeve is working!
