MorriganRepine got a reaction from SheilaS in november sleeve
Brand new here, but I got my sleeve on Nov. 5th. The first few days were pretty rough, mostly with nausea, but things are feeling much better today. My doctor gave me the go ahead for full liquids today, and it surprised me that it took two hours to drink a Premier Protein RTD this morning. Peppermint tea and diluted Powerade have been lifesavers! I feel like I've gotten off easy with the recovery so far, but I know I have a lot of challenges ahead of me. It will be great to be able to follow other sleevers who are around the same stage as I am.

I TOTALLY GET IT. It is a living nightmare to think Did i do all of this for two Frigging pounds?????? I struggle with this daily because am a slow loser, so I have started to weigh myself less, and focus on my clothes and remind myself that before the surgery I would eat so little and workout like crazy and lose NADA,ZIP, ZILCH. So two pounds is better than no pounds... But youre so early in the process in two weeks weight could be flying off of you. Focus on the Water. More than anything. Thats what is going to help you heal and get the weight off fastest.... Take this time to do the headwork (which is immense and on going) to focus ahead on where you are going because you will drive yourself nuts otherwise. I do. LOL... And mostly just sleep and rest and know this was the right choice.... You can do this.

Oof. Day 2 was rough. I had a hard time keeping anything down. Today is better in that respect. But I cried today a lot. I’m used to feeling ugly, but the new incisions are so ugly and hurt a bit that I just lost it. A conversation with my mom and one with my husband helped. I’m just hoping that it’s onward and upward from here. 🙂
