SweetQui 24 Posted August 24, 2012 Surgery went well yesterday. I was disharged today and I'm so happy to be home. I am in some pain but the pain meds are helpful. I'm also havng trouble getting comfortable because of the stomach pain. I haven't been able to get down much Water but I have been sipping here and there. I did eat a sugar free popsicle today. I can't believe I'm Post Op day 1. I'm really proud of myself for going through with the procedure. You all have helped me get through this and I wouldn't have been able to do it without my VSG family! I wish everyone much success and I'm sending prayers and blessing to u all;-) 3 dooter55, samsmom and Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoolBreeze 154 Posted August 24, 2012 Congrats of becoming a Sleever . It was hard for me to get comfortable especially on my left side - that the side my doctor said he removed my stomach from one of the incisions. It will get better. As for the Water, just continue to sip sip sip sip as much as you can, no need to force it. Those SF popsicles are great, I keep at least 2 boxes of them in the freezer.

alex&zsmom 33 Posted August 24, 2012 We all need to be really proud, this is a huge commitment to our health. I'm day four. I found if I sit up really straight or even stretch a little everything gowns down more easily! Be strong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
