Hi Everyone, I am new to the site here, still trying to figure out how everything works! Had my sleeve done on 11/19. Started my journey at 281 and am down to 249 as of today. So excited about life and finally shedding this weight that has plagued me for more than half of my life. Surgery went very well, was in the hospital for two days following surgery. No nausea after the recovery room until today. Wiped me right out too. Put on a pair of dress pants (that fit and look nice!) for the first time since surgery and I guess they put too much pressure on my stomach because I started having a rapid heart beat and felt extremely ill with a lot of pain after drinking half of my Protein Shake. The pants didn't bother me before that. My stomach must still be swollen to some degree so lesson learned, do not wear anything that feels even the slightest bit snug around the waist yet! Anyone else having trouble trying to get in their daily Protein amounts? I hit 67 grams yesterday and was able to tolerate 6 cups of Water throughout the day. Maybe my tummy is upset with me from all of that yesterday :/ Anyway, tomorrow is a new day. Back on the band wagon to get my protein and liquids in. My post-op visit is next week, can hardly wait to start eating a larger variety of foods other than full liquids. I haven't been hungry since the surgery but food sure does smell good to me...guess that doesn't go away huh? Nice to read everyones posts so far. Good luck to all of us and may each one of us reach our goal weight!!!!!
