Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery Update

[favoredone 590]

Hey Guys!!

I did it!! I finally met my Sleevina!!! LOL... She's doing good!!! I have a little gas, but nothing excruciating.. I came home today right before 3 pm.. Trying to get my fluids down.. Can't stand broth right now, so Crystal light and Water...

Still trying to get used to that feeling of having to sip, sip, sip.... The little roadblock that happens when I drink too fast SUCKS!!!

I'm really sleepy and cold.. but, no temp or anything... I did have to leave the hospital w/ some BP meds...my BP wouldn't come down enough for them not to prescribe something.. I think it was the morphine.. which I didn't get a lot of after the first night..

I'll update more in the next few days.. I'm going to take a nap...

CONGRATULATIONS, favoredone!! I had my surgery yesterday, so I have you beat by one day. :-) I'm glad you're feeling well. I haven't had any major problems either. I'm having the same issues you're having with drinking. I discovered that I don't know how to sip. I'll learn ... hopefully sooner rather than later. Continue on your road to recovery!!

WHOOHOOO!!!! Welcome to the Losers Bench Tina!!! I'm SOOO glad to hear you're doing well, thank you for checking in with us. Get your rest, you need it now for good healing. Keep sipping, getting up to walk some and come back when you're up to it. We will miss ya, but you're getting better is #1 right now. BIG BIG HUGS!!!

Yay Tina! I had to learn how to sip too.. I was a gulper... The time will literally fly by and you will have a hard time remembering this part! Its only a few short weeks and you will be able to eat food in small amounts slowly, but real food. You are doing great!

Congrats girly. I had the same problems as you, hurting when drinking too fast and blood pressure went up after surgery and they prescribed me blood pressure meds. Actually I didnt take the bp meds, I knew it was the surgery and my bp is really good normally. When I went to my 1 week checkup yesterday they my blood pressure was perfect so it wasnt a bad thing that I didnt take them after all. I'm glad you're doing well. Have a happy Holiday.
