Felt like I was hit by a bus, but...



Recommended Posts

I am officially sleeved!

Arrived at hospital 8:30, but didn't get into OR until noon.

Soooooo nauseous after recovery! Had to keep eyes closed and just moan, slurring when I tried to talk. Shoulders painful on deep breaths.

But, after a few hours and a couple of good pees (sorry, TMI), i walked the hall for over 20 minutes!

Slow to start drinking, but I'm catching up! No nausea there, whew! Feeling awake and so much better.

I AM A SLEEVER!

I still can't take a really deep breath without my shoulders hurting, but no problems drinking, and I am up and walking around as usual.

The only thing that really bothers me is my surgeon put a small catheter into one of the incisions to slow-drip a pain-deadener, and I have to wear this bag that holds the ball of medicine that goes to the catheter. It gets in the way, and pulls on my still-sore neck. But it should come out today, and then I can move more freely.

I'm at my parents' house so I can have help if I need it, and they very kindly moved into the third floor bedroom so I could have their second-floor bedroom and not have to climb so many stairs.

Yay for generous parents! They both say they are proud of me for doing this. (To tell the truth, I expected negativity!)

I likened post-op to having been on an all-night bender that ended in a bar brawl!

Took out the pain-killer drip because it kept getting in the way. Don't notice any increase in pain without it, so what was it really doing anyway?

Except for some twinges in the middle of standing up or sitting down, I don't feel any different from before the surgery. (Oh! Except for no hunger!) Got all my fluids and Protein in, walked around the house a lot, and even got on the elliptical machine for two minutes to try it out.

I'm not on any kind of pain med, so tomorrow I'm going to try to drive so I can get back to my own house. (it's an hour away.)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
