Day 3 Post Op

[newdaycomn 0]

Hi Everyone!

I had my sleeve on Monday and so far all is going good. I was released from the hospital on Tuesday after passing a swallow test and taking/keeping fluids down.

The first night i was home, i got in the bed for about 3 hours. I decided i did not like it as much as i thought i would and moved to the couch. I felt much better on the couch and it was very easy to get up and down from here.

It is strange when you start drinking again. Sips are micro sips you will learn quickly - it is true, gas X stips are your best friend and as soon as you think you have this mastered, you get to day 3 and it ALL is just got so much better!

I'm not sure if swelling went down in my sleeve or if i did a bunch of walking (as was instructed) so that i helped relieve the swelling and stiffness of my stomach and abdomen -- I really do not know why, but today is "rounding the bend"!

Today has been just great! Don't get me wrong, i am on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks post op so my "greatness" is that i can move easily, shower with out a problem and curl up in my bed with no issues. I have been able to get a good portion of my liquids down today, but that is saying i am hydrated not that i have taking all the protien i need to.

So, i guess my take away is that i loved today after the last few days and i will hope that it just keeps getting better from here forward. I can honestly say, it was not that bad but it did have it's moment! LOL

I'll check back in again tomorrow and see i make the protien requirements! I am dreaming, but i am going to try tomorrow for the first time to make it happen with Isopure.

For those of you still waiting for your surgery, take your pain medication, get up and walk as often as you can and know that each day gets easier.

i will be happy to answer any questions about my experience as we go through this life change together.

So glad you are all doing so well!

So glad to hear you're doing well! My surgery is in 11 days and I've got that anxious, nervous, excited, scared thing going on inside. Makes me feel so much better to hear such a positive report!

Trust me on this...if you think that went well just wait until you loose some major pounds. I never thought I was the kind of person that minded being heavy. Well I sure am enjoying people noticing and saying, "What has changed you look great!" Which is happening on an almost daily basis. Not that I want to ever be skinny - just don't want to be the fatest girl in the room - you know what I mean? Congratulations on getting through the first part of the journey - there are GOOD THINGS TO COME! CONGRATS AGAIN!

Keep on drinking - that is the hardest part for the first couple of weeks!
