@brittanyatwalsh I’m doing fine just been sleep all day.. very sore on my left side where most of the magic happened.The nurse got me up early to use bedside commode and all I remember is waking up on the floor.. passed out & not sure why.. so I am not allowed to get out of bed until the next day to try & walk.. have kept down small amounts of liquid but still a lil dizzy when I sit up... Hoping to do better tomorrow. Thanks for checking on me... I don’t know how to reply back to a individual so I hope this worked ☺️

Dang, that's pretty scary...probably orthostatic hypotension. I hope things go smoothly for you from now on :)

I’m staring to get paranoid because everyone else is throwing up and can’t eat and I’m plugging along and while I am eating very little for me personally, I still feel like it’s more than I should be compared to the rest of you all. Last night I had almost a half cup of shredded chicken and green Beans for dinner no issues🤷🏼‍♀️ did they actually sleeve me or just fix my hernia? I’m starting to wonder😆 but I feel super full like up to my throat from 3 ounces of chicken so I guess so...lol

Thats my fear. That I'm drinking too much Water and I'm already stretching my pouch. It's terrifying me a little but my dr came in and said I'm doing good. Just being paranoid I guess. How are you feeling?

I'm feeling pretty good overall, mostly just still pretty beat, and tired of feeling super full all the time 😜 I'll be really glad when my pouch has just a tiny bit more room in it, lol!

How are you enjoying being home? 😊

I haven't thrown up once either (though I have felt pretty nauseous enough times!) I've even been pushing myself a bit too hard and having things I shouldn't quite be having yet... *blush* I also feel like I can consume more than I should be able to, but on the other hand, I have that same feeling of fullness from just a few ounces, so I think we're both doing ok... fingers crossed!

Had my 2 week follow up. They are recommending I take a 4th week of short term disability for work because I still get dizzy and tired and they want me used to eating purees. I have mixed feelings about it. I miss work but I probably do need a little more time
I originally was only taking two weeks, but I just called and added a third. I'm feeling better but my abdominal muscles are just so achy. Can't imagine sitting at a desk yet.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
