AnniLou

Originally from Baltimore, MD. Lived in Harrogate, Yorkshire (UK) for a few years as a kid. Now in Naugatuck, CT.

I was awakened around midnight and then around 5AM. (I think..... didn't have my glasses on!) Our hosp. has a pretty decent "quiet" time. I was hooked up to heart and O2 sat monitors, along with my IV and compression sleeves. Slept fairly well.

Jeff, hopefully by today, you are feeling somewhat better. I am 8 days post sleeve and, aside from being bored with liquids, feel pretty good. I do nap in the afternoon but I'm up early to walk and get my prayers in. Hang in there. It will get better! And go O's!

My surgery was on Monday, June 22, 2015. My weight was 256 before my preop diet, and today I'm down to 233. I decided to have the sleeve after my GP, GYN and cardiologist all suggested I should consider WLS. I had hypertension and was on two meds, high cholesterol and was on Crestor, and was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes. And did I mention I'm a cardiac OR nurse? I knew if I didn't do something, my life would be cut short. After about a year of deliberating, I finally decided on the sleeve. I am now on no meds aside from Pepcid AC Complete twice a day and vitamins. My BP this morning was 114/78!!! Thank you, Lord! My BP was never that good on two meds! I am struggling with wanting to eat while I'm on week 2 of liquids. I suppose that's a bit of my food addiction kicking in and a normal response to not eating. I look foward to sharing with all of you as we journey on...personally and together!

Agreed!

I am with you, Bobbie! I'm one week post op sleeve and I want nothing more than to eat! I'm hanging tough with the liquids tho. Try SF popsicles....at least it's a "normal" food and will get your mind off the other foods for a bit. Hang in there with me!

Sleeved on Monday as well. That day was tough with gas pains. Much better now. Walk!
