Yeah, ouch! first day post-op
Happy Destiny posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:crying:Hey Gang, thanks for your prayers & thoughts. I made it through surgery without a hitch. I thought I was home free...until they took away the morphine. I was doing soul train walks down the hallways around 3am LOL. I'm home and was sent with tylenol w/codine. I'm in pain. Don't know if I'm just wimping out or need something more for tonight? Any thoughts out there???:biggrin0: Happy Destiny -
Thanks Linda, Just got your message Tues am. I'm feeling better every day! Just trying to keep my sips, sips. Getting gasey when I don't. Learning what full feels like. I think overall I'm really doing Great! I just have to remember to take it One Day at a Time.

Mine looks the same and is feeling better. Sandy (the RN practitioner) told me that's probably where they took the stomach out. She said her's went down, but not all the way. Luckily mine is in my waistline, so doesn't look too bad. What kind of pain meds are you using? -

So glad to hear you're doing so well! I'm feeling good too! I've been fortunate and not been nauseated at all! Have you gotten your drain out yet? Did you set an appt. or just show up? -

I can so relate! I didn't think I could handle the pain the first day home, but things have progressed smoothly and I'm feeling really good today (day 6)! Hope you are too! I feel so optimistic and it feels good!!!! -

I'm feeling better Lillie24, much better in fact. The pain has lessened and I'm getting my protein in! Life is Good. How are you doing? Send me a line when you feel up to it!:001_tongue: -
Everything is going well! I'm sipping, walking, napping and getting the protein, pain & other meds in. I had diabetes that I was not controlling all too well, and since surgery on tuesday my sugar has been in 120-130's. As long as it is under 160 I don't need to take meds for that. Hooray, if that was the only thing I got out of this surgery I would think that would be enough! But honestly, glad that isn't the only gift I'll be getting! How are you my friend?:smile1:

Tiff, You are so awesome. You are so good at expressing your feelings, no matter if its up (usually sounds that way to me) or down. Thanks once again for sharing your experience, strength & hope with us all! p.s. I got my sleeve Tues. 18th and I'm feeling pretty darn good today. The first day after was the hardest. I thought this was a piece of cake...until they d/c the morphine and sent me home...LOL I've been moving, sitting and sipping pretty good. Love ya Girl, have a great weekend! Sheryl:biggrin0: -

By all means, I did not mean to scare you! It has gotten better, much better in fact. You're going to do awesome! Today is day 3, Friday. And yes I still have some pain, but nothing like the first day home! Remember to sip, sip, sip and walk. The most help I've needed is in getting out of bed. p.s. They will give you a log sheet with 15 min increments to log your protein, pain meds, etc. I asked for a few extras to help me keep on top of things. They're very nice & helpful at Forest Park surgery center. Is that where you'll be going? Let me know and try not to stress. When I came out of surgery and that first night felt like a cake walk due to the morphine:001_tt2:. But honestly I feel pretty good, one day a a time! :thumbup1: -

Looking for Texas Sleevers???
Happy Destiny replied to ahchancey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
:svengo:Did you just lose your pre-op weight? I'm not doing great with that!!!! I'm having a hard time with telling myself no. My mind keeps telling me you may never eat this or that again, blah,blah,blah. Help! -
Thanks for the note. pre-op is ok. I've not been perfect, but then when have I right? Im supposed to do 1200 cal with 5 drinks/bars and one light meal. I wish I was more strict with myself, but the thought of forceful restrictive (surgerY) makes me think I'd better have a lil or this or that, because it's gonna be a long time~ I have lost 3-4 lbs this week need to lose more this coming week! Thanks for your support and hope you're having a swell weekend!!!!

:welcome:Ahhh, no problem! Good luck on your new adventure. I'm not being perfect on my pre-op, just keep trying to do good. They say it really helps with the surgery if you do. :tea:
