Hi all

One week ago today at this time I was in OR for my gastric sleeve. First few days in hospital were very rough. Mostly abdo pain, some heart issues and gas. A few days home under my belt and I can actually say I am starting to feel "normal". No way am I ready for back to work but I can do a lap or two around my block. I am getting in my vitamins and 60g of protein. I also have jello and broth. Still in the bathroom constantly.

I am self sufficent now with the exception of lifting and bending right down to floor level, hurts, so I don't do it. Kitties get fed when dad or one of the kids feeds them.

I don't feel hungry. I really wish I could drink alot more. Im use to getting 3-4 ltrs of water a day.

That is about it for week 1 report

Eyes on the prize!

All the best to everyone having surgery this week!!
