I've Been Sleeved!

[MizzStar 2]

My valentine's day present was my sleeve! I am so excited! What was it like the first couple of days home from the hospital! I find i hard to drink the shakes it takes me longer than 2 hrs for one! I am trying to find more energy and walk around so I don't develop blood clots!

Congrats on being sleeved!! What an awesome Valentines gift to yourself!! The walking will help with getting the gas out and the healing. It gets better everyday!

Congratulations!! You're on your way. The first couple days, you really want to focus on staying hydrated. Make sure to get those 64oz down, otherwise you may get really nauseous. The Protein Shakes will go down better, but just remember your body just had major surgery so don't push it too much. My docs kept telling me to take it easy and apparently my 'easy' wasn't 'easy' enough. lol. You sound really upbeat and enthusiastic which is fantastic!! Keep it up! and keep posting your progress, concerns, frustrations and successes!!

Everyone's right, follow what the doc tells you, and MOST important keep the liquids going. About a week and half after surgery i started feeling bad, tired, dizzy spells..... come to find out, Dehydration!!!! Ever since than it gets better every day. Down 42 lbs since 1-24-2012 surgery. Keep at it
