Hi, everyone. I had my gastric sleeve done four days ago and am amazed at how wonderful I feel. I never needed post-op pain meds, though I adhered to the advice to take it on schedule that first day afterward.
Aside from some low bowel motility issues, I can honestly say I am having no difficulty at all. No nausea, no pain. I'm getting 4 oz per feeding (5/day), and working up to all my needed snacks in between, as I just have no hunger and have to remind myself. That's putting me up to between 60-65 grams of protein per day so far. My silly phone goes off constantly reminding me to drink or eat.
At 67, I'm finding myself wishing I'd done it sooner. I started this journey on July 6th at 375 pounds, and this morning clocked in at 316.6. I am so grateful, I cannot tell you.
Wishing everyone a fabulous journey towards health of their own.
