Post op day 5

[rndani85 10]

Gloryyyy glory hallelujah!! This has been my best day thus far. I can't imagine how great I'll feel a month out. I'm definitely excited about the future. More so now than ever. My steri strips were so loose, I took them off. Not bad, Dr. Scott I'm all scabbed up and itchy. That's a good thing. I did a much better job of getting my Water in. Not all the way, but 75% there. I'll grab tomorrow by the horns!

Congrats on having such a good recovery. It only gets better.

Congrats rndani! I was sleeved 4 days ago and am starting to feel "normal" again, I'm still having air bubbles/stomach cramps when I drink at times, but each day is better. I'm 5'6 and started at 264 with 1 week of liquid diet, today I weighed and was suprised to see 245!! Luckily, I haven't had any nausea or vomiting and would like to keep it that way. I see my doctor on Monday and am excited to get my diet advanced, hopefully, it would be fantastic to have some texture/substance again.

Just curious, with the title rndani...are you a nurse? I'm an ED RN and am nervous about going back to work. Naturally, I work in a busy chatoic environment and am worried about fatigue. It would be nice to know how other nurses deal with the sleeve and work.

Wow! You are totally rocking recovery! It feels so good to get back to normal. I am a registered nurse I'm a floor nurse on a surgical specialty unit. It too is absolute madness. I am really sad that this is my last week off work. I was definitely wondering the same thing you are. I may double up on my B12, haha! I do know that I will not be lifting over 15 lbs for a month. I'm thankful to be on that weight restriction, because as you know our jobs require lots of lifting and pulling. I return to work Feb. 25th. I'll keep you posted on how things go.

I'm glad I have 1 more week off, I go back March 7th...so happy I have a great boss! I too am so glad that we have a weight restriction, with having such a less caloric intake I don't think I can do the lifting and pulling like you said. I'm sure you are going to do great, I'm kind of glad when we can get back into our routine and start burning more calories. Good luck!!
