6 days out !

[lex8701 15]

Hello fellow sleevers. Today I'm 6 days out and I can say that these past days have been tiring. From extreme gas pains to the unbearable headache I have daily. The worst part for me is that I have to have a blood thinner twice a day for 2 weeks (injection). I HATE needles so sometimes it's really hard to do it. Today was the 1st time I drank some Protein (since I was on Clear liquids for a week) and I seem to have a little bit more energy. One thing I can say that's getting me a little down is being in the house so much. Not doing my makeup ect.....I CANNOT wait to see my nut tomorrow so I can out on my full face and go to the mall after ( luckily the mall

Is across from the office). One more thing that has me nervous. I rolled over yesterday morning and it felt like I tore my incisions but they looked fine. Anybody ever experience that? How did you guys cope the 1st week??

The first couple of weeks were rough. Not going to lie. I just tried to take it one hour at a time. I sipped on my Water, marched in place a lot, watched a lot of TV, and slept a lot. Luckily I was allowed Protein Shakes earlier than you were, so I had a bit more energy, but it still sucked. You just have to have patience and hang in there. You really will feel a little better every day and soon enough you will look back and realize you've recovered pretty quickly, though it felt like an eternity in the moment.

Just had my surgery yesterday and am on full liquids. I have walked at the hospital before discharge - and have made 3 stops with my wife and walked. I have had 18 oz of Clear Liquids and 16 oz of fat -free milk. A little tired but not much gas or pain
