Sleeveed

Hey bambam, me too! (11days post op) I feel amazing, though today I'm a tired so I'm taking in easy. I sip, but I can sip pretty fast. Meaning I can drink my Pure Protein Shakes in no time flat, less than 5 mins. When I take my pills in the morning, I take a little more water 💦 Goes down so easy. I do have some extra gas in my stomach when I drink my 9oz. of bone broth. Next Wednesday Aug. 3rd I have my first post-op with my surgeon. 👨🏻‍⚕️I will be asking lots of questions. The following day (post-op day 15) I start soft foods and I am looking forward to that. I walk for about 3 miles every other day. I can wait to get into the pool 🏊 at 30 days post-op.

Don't fret! IT DOES GET BETTER. Today I'm am 6 days post-op 7/19. I feel great. I have tons of energy and can drink my liquids easily. I do have lots of gas in my stomach after taking pills and drinking and take CVS branded gas pills which work like a charm. I do feel the shoulder pains every now and then. Totally bearable. I was give Oxycototin 5mg- 10 mg every 4 hours. I did use it for a few days especially at night when sleeping as I can't sleep on my back. I used a pillow to support my stomach. I had a 2 1/2 day stay at the hospital. I remember people telling me to walk as much as possible so when they said walk every 4 hours, I was walking for every 2 hours up and down the hospital corridors. The gas pain was unbearable the first night. I was totally scared I made the wrong decision. But they gave me gas pills which brought the gas down. I drink 3 pure protein shakes, 2-16oz crystal lights and 2- 6oz containers of homemade delicious bone broth (thanks to my bff) 2-3oz of Trader Joe's Blueberry Kifer a day. It goes down very easy which freaks me out when I read all these post about people having problems. Next week I will start soft food and hope it all goes the same. I did have the cold sweats off and on for few days, and my feet tingle a bit. I have had numbness in my feet from diabetic nerve damage but I think I can feel more in my feet. Other than that things are great! I wish the best for us all.
