Week 1 post op
I thought it would be a good idea to have a record of my journey, and what better place than here?
I was sleeved exactly 1 week ago today by Dr. Alvarez. He was great! I felt pretty good right after surgery and even the next day until about 1:00. The rest of that day and all of the following day I felt terrible. I have to admit, at that point I didn't care about my weight and wondered what I had done to myself. I didn't think I was the type to regret the surgery, but I was wrong. Beginning day 3 post op, I had turned a corner and really started feeling pretty good!
Of course I couldn't resist the scale and thanks to this site, I laughed and wasn't disappointed when the scale showed no loss. The scale did finally start moving on 1/23 and today, 1 week out, I am down 8 lbs! So exciting!
One thing that is different about my recovery compared to most is that I am having no problem with fluids. I can drink normally, and actually have to remind myself to slow down when I'm drinking. Today I have gotten about 50 oz. of fluids and 63g of protein.
I have never blogged before, so hopefully I'll get the hang of this.
