I'm new to this forum and find it to be very helpful. I was sleeved on 11/18/09. The surgery went VERY WELL and I am so pleased. I hardly had any pain by Thursday, just a bit of discomfort in the chest and nausea. I was released from the hospital on Friday and feeling GOOD. By Saturday, I begin felling like myself again - I quess the drugs in my system were wearing off. I love the feeling of normalcy. I've been on Clear liquids since my VSG, I have been walking - as ordered by the Dr. Yet, I must admit, during that nausea phase while in the hospital all I could tell myself was - I could have been home not dealing with this and losing the weight on my on- because I did not like dealing with the nausea. Anyway, I got over it. I'm happy I made the decision to have the sleeve. That being said, I hope everyone meets their goal. The jouney isn't over yet, its just begone.
Oh yeh, I was so glad about feeling myself again, I forgot I was on a liquid diet and had a hand full of Pistashios - Its crazy how the mind works - I didnt' throw up but my tummy swirled around a bit so I felt it wasn't ready for the roasted and salted flavor of the nuts so, I stached the pistachios in the kitchen cabinet for possibly a month from now.
