New to this site. Had gastric sleeve procedure 8/22/18. Down 20 thus far. Thought I was dealing with major allergies for the last week but started feeling really bad yesterday. Went to urgent care and was told I have the flu :(. I’m bummed that I won’t be going to the gym for a couple of days, but I know I need to allow my body to get over this flu. So frustrating! Hope everyone is doing well!

Surgery was laparoscopic, had it late in the day approximately 5:30pm. I pretty much just slept through the night and they took me off the morphine as I didn’t use it. I wasn’t allowed to get up and walk until the morning. All pain meds were oral liquids. Last time I took a pain Med was right before I left the hospital so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable on the ride home. Have been walking and on elliptical since week two. Went back to work 9 days after surgery. I’ve unfortunately have had many surgeries so this one was a walk in the park compared to some of my others. Had some moments of discomfort from gas but walking helped.
