Call your DR. But I have issues if I eat to fast? Called the foamies? Sticks right in my chest and I throw up.

I keep my water iced down in that "jug" they gave me at the hospital.  Whereever I am... it is.  By the bed at night so when I wake up in the night I drink.  When I move to the den or kitchen it goes.  Tomorrow I have to venture out to do some work and it will go. 

Hey, fellow sleevers!

Have been laying low, not as peppy as some others that were done last week ("Had sleeve this morning, off to prom tonight!" I think I saw that... HA)

Healing slowly, still having pain, mostly in one area (lower right- feels like a hot poker), but moving. Today was the first day I could bathe/shampoo by myself and then went for a walk, my entire block and back. Beautiful  here in Miami today, just couldn't stay in.

I had some "extra" work done in there, there was a tumor in my stomach and some liver problems we are still waiting on the biopsy reports.

BUT
All in all, I think I am doing great. Down to only 1 nap per day and 1-2 pain pills a day. I found using a cane is a great idea for balance, and in/out of bed. So if you are pre-op, go digging in Grandma's closet.

I have never had 1 bit of nausea, or GERD (I am on Protonix since pre-op). Liquids slip down in fairly normal amounts, mushies: easy peasy! I had a 40 Bougie. Getting down all my protein and more. Have lost 12 lbs, but know most of that is water. DH keeps telling me how skinny my face looks, not what I'm going for, LOL!

My blood sugars went whacko in the hospital and I had to be put on insulin which freaked me. Came home on small Amaryl dose, Blood sugars around 150-200 now. Doc says give everything a chance to settle.

I have started Shell's ****tail today...

I went to the hospital with 2 giant packs of Gas X and took ONE chewable on day 3. That was it.

I AM HUNGRY!! I hope this will go away, cause this is not head hunger, I am starving, LOL!

I want to send out a special thanks to my precious angel Blue Skies, she is spectacular!!! And to all of you that sent prayers and wishes, they were felt. Thank you so much.

Dr. Gagner is magnificent of course, as is Genevieve his PA. I don't have to see him for 2 more weeks and left the hospital on mushies.

The hospital was disgusting. TMI. I will be writing one of my famous letters now that I am feeling better...

Let the journey begin!

Thanks!! That gives me a little hope anyway yes I have like all of the above depression, knee pain, gerd the whole nine yards.  Thanks Cathy

I came home from hospital on Sunday.  I think I felt better that day than I do today. 

Second day home lots of gas and loose stools... now the opposite.... constipation and cramping. 

For me the hardest is getting in all this water.  I am sipping constantly, can't seem to make a dent.

I did have a couple tablespoons of low fat vanilla yogurt today.  Man that tasted sooooo good.  Going to try some cream of wheat tonight.  I am hungry!!!  Nut said it was okay to start today some of that today.

My biggest problem is that I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow.  I know that I am not ready.  Dreading the phone call to my boss... she has not been very supportive.

Glad that I am on this side of the surgery though.  I know that things will get better every day!!!

So glad you are doing so well.
