Sleeved Monday

[tjdurham 1]

I was sleeved Monday in Salem NJ by what I think is a great Dr Kakailaya from Salem Medical Group. I was 252 lbs day of surgery today I weighed in at 240 at home. I had surgery to not only loose weight but to hopefully do away with a lot of back pain that I have.

Baby steps. That's all I can think of. I ended up two nights at hospital since my counts were high. I'm a day or so behind on the diet I'm not rushing it my nutritionist agreed to take it slow as long as I'm getting 64 oz of fluids in until I can move along then ill be good. Don't be afraid to ask for pain meds while your there in hospital.

I was also sleeved Monday 5/20, in Harrisburg, Pa. I was released 5/21. I had a very hard time taking in Protein and fluids when I came home. I was actually dehydrated the past 2 days. I cannot use the protein supplements from the doctors because I cannot get them down within a decent time. I found protein vials that are 25g and taste pretty decent. My only advise so far is slow and steady...walk a lot to get the air out, and just relax. :-)
