I have been sleeved

I had my surgery on the 15th of October. After getting out of recovery and settled in my room, the nurses wanted me up and walking. On the first try I made it just out of the door and passed out. Second try I made it down the hall and passed out. The third try that night I made it to the door of my room. I have been told that walking helps in getting the gas out of your system. Well with my inability to walk, that evening was sleepless. I ended up having extreme pain in both of my shoulders. Felt like a muscle cramp with a pinched nerve. Pain meds helped but I still did not get a lot of sleep. The next morning my blog glucose came back at 185. Turns out they wer giving m IV fluids its dextrose. Once this was stopped my blood sugar returnd to normalwas a bit better and I was able to walk without passing out. After a few laps up and down the halls I felt a bit better. Did not have to take any pain meds most of the day. Dr came in to visit that morning and said that I will need to get some water into my system. Around six I was visited by th PA and they started processing my discharge. I feel this was a great idea as I will be in my own bed. One I arrived home I had some lower right abdomen pain. This is the area where, they removed my stomach and he to go through the muscle. This pain kept me up all night and found that sleeping in a recliner helped. As I am typing this I am less than a week post and am feint great. Hi have not taken any pain meds for a few days now. Eating has been fine except for some pain when swallowing as I had a hiatal hernia fixed. Currently in the full liquid diet and making my protein and water amounts. 

Welcome to the loser's bench 

I hope you'll start feeling better soon.  Keep drinking your fluids as dehydration can cause more problems than you want to have at this point.  Good luck!

It is nice to get home. Welcome to the losers bench.

Congrats!
