Had my surgery yesterday, home tonight....

Had my sleeve surgery early yestesday morning. gotta tell you, when i opened my eyes, i was so thankful to be alive! i was really scared about that... sad right? started walking around around 5pm last night, walked every 2 hours since then. the nurses would wake me up every 2 hours and i would do laps in the hospital. did well, not too painful. had upper GI this morning, sailed through it. finally got some water and crystal light to drink. advanced to mushy phase tonight. stay on this phase for 4-6 weeks.

tomorrow, i start to sip sip sip and work on some protein intake.
still can't believe it's done. so scared pre-op!! now... time to lose the weight, i'm ready!

Congratulations! So glad you're doing well!

good for you...enjoy your transformation into the new you!

 Yeah, worst part over I think.  Thought I was going the last of this month but now waiting until
June.  Keep me posted on your progress it is such an encouragement.

congrats! i'm really happy for u and i know u r gonna b super successful in ur transformation. U r lucky u had very little pain because most people said it was very painful. i havent had mine done yet but im excited about the process! CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK TO U!

 Glad to hear you came thru surgery so well.  Good luck getting well and finding the new you!

 im so happy for you... congratulations, cant wait till you say the same for me.

 Going on Mushies sooooo soon?? Wow that's fast, my doc said that we do a 2 week pre-op diet then liquids for 2-3 weeks then Mushies 2-3 weeks then try solids!! Good Luck I'm getting Sleeved on 4-23-12

thanks everyone!
i swear i feel like i didn't have any surgery at all.
then i try to gulp some water and remember... ouch.
yes my doctor tries mushies before you leave the hospital.
won't release you unless they are sure you can tolerate mushies.
granted very little, even one little bite but wants to make sure you can keep it down and don't experience any pain.
so far, so good...
