So i had my sleeve yesterday at 730am. It took until 11am because he had to repair a hernia and removed my gallbladder. So they couldnt get my blood pressure out of the 200's and my oxygen dropped very low and i couldnt come out of the anesthesia so i was put into intensive care. Today was completely different and im in a regular room. Im able to keep down my fluids so tomorrow they will try me on phase 2 such as cream of wheat. So maybe ill be home on friday. Everyone has been so nice. I guess the fun will start when i get home on my own. I hope everyone that had their surgery yesterday is doing great

You took the step over that line, that's the biggest move. Now it'll be a lot of little moves that add up to weight loss I had mine done on Sept 23rd, I'm almost two weeks out now and starting on the mushy foods (thank goodness). After nearly a month of nothing but liquids, I was going nuts.

Be prepared for your mind to take you for a ride, because you just robbed it of a lot of its comfort and removed a coping mechanism from your toolbox. There will be a mourning period, but don't sweat it. It's getting easier for me, and everyone who's been there says it passes, and you come out stronger. But this thing is at least as mental/emotional as it is physical.

Keep walking, every day walking...get your pedometer going so you can track it. It'll help get the gas out, and it'll help you heal better. Really focus on that Protein, try hard to meet those goals because it really helps speed healing if you're getting enough. Good luck!
