Wanted: September Sleevers!

[Steph Jo 89084 12]

Hi! I am Stephanie and I was sleeved on Wednesday, September 3, 2014. I feel great today...it is my first full day home from the hospital. I am getting my Water in, but my Protein is another story. Every time I drink anything I feel these bubbles and then I burp. Maybe I am drinking too much at a time?

My doctor is Bernie Hanna at Las Vegas Bariatrics and I had my surgery at North Vista Hospital. My post-op visit is on Thursday, September 11th.

I ended up using a gas med. I am behind on fluids because I had some nausea this morning.

We were sleeved on the same day! The protein is doing the same to me. I tried a spoon full of sugar free Jello and it was too sweet for me. Im a little scared to try a Soup I dont want to throw up.

Glad to hear you are both on the other side and doing well.

Janny - I also scheduled for 9/29! Best of luck!

Krystle - is the sparkling ice carbonated? Of so I wouldn't be allowed that on my plan. Otherwise it sounds fine.

I am also scheduled for 9/29. Good luck

I had my sleeve done on Tuesday. I lost 20 lbs. on the two week diet, before hand. Recovery isn't too bad. I only had nausea when they gave me the disgusting stuff to drink to check for leaks. I came home the next day. They had an onQ hooked up in my belly for pain. That was a new one on me. It helped the pain quite a bit for the incisions. I took it out last night and the pain is very tolerable. My big kicker is that they gave me nausea meds, that give you a headache and pain meds that you have to take with food and make you nauseous. duhhh. Needless to say no pain meds or nausea medication. I have had a whopping headache for the past 3 days. But I crushed up some Tylenol with Water and that has helped. So My stats so far are SW 277. Surgery weight 257 this morning 253. I was expecting it to be higher due to the swelling. So I am pleased. I'm hanging on to this bull and riding it for all it's worth.

Ride that bull! I love it! I really appreciate you sharing your journey. I haven't started right, but I know I will get better. I have to get this weight down, and it's doable. So I will keep looking up as I walk ahead.
