I got my sleeve on 3/29/10 and as my surgeon said "everything went beautifully, except that he fixed a large Hiatal hernia that I had as well." as I woke up in my hospital room I was amazed, and all I could think was...I SURVIVED. I have to admit though I have had some buyers remorse, but as each day passes that goes away less and less. But the nurses told me this is normal. I ended up staying in the hospital for 2 days because my pain/nausea was so bad. But I have only thrown up once...protein didnt like me at first. So I am hoping I am not the only one. The pain/gas/nausea and weird gastro intestinal feelings were worse than I expected...but maybe its because I had never had a surgery before.

But victory! Yesterday I got 48 oz of water in and 30grams of protein in for the first time since surgery! so that made me very happy...and I intend on trying to boost the protein because I know 30 grams isnt enough...but one day at a time. That is my new motto...One day at a time.

Hi well done on getting through surgery and getting your protein and water in.  You are right 1 day at a time is a good way of working through this.

Keep it up.
Onwards & Downwards !
