4 Weeks Post-Op
Jan 05, 2015
I feel like I have not been on here in ages, 1 month too long enough! Surgery went great. I'm allergic to sulfa and one of the meds the use to put you out have a small chance of giving me a reaction. They didn't give me that much and when I woke up in the PACU I was screaming. I don't want to scare anyone it was something that happens for a few minutes and then the other meds kicked in. I was drowsy up until about 4pm when I could finally see my husband again. My pain was managed very well. The nurses were AMAZING!!! I waa not happy to get up and walk around the first day because I was sleepy lol. One lap around the floor and back to bed I went. Sipping was ok. I could only get down about a half once every few minutes. I was home in no time. I really wasnt in much pain. I only took an oxy to get up and moving in the morning and at night to go to bed. During the day I felt more sore if anything and had back pain from slouching over. Drinking water was no problem. The shakes took some work because of the thickness. The first week Stevie (my sleeve) preferred room temp week 2 I was back to nice cold water with ice. It has been hard trying to get used to eating soo little. God knows my eyes can hold more than Stevie lol. I hurt myself week 2 going on 3 carrying my son. I paid for it the following 3days. I reinjured myself a few days ago but my post op appointment is tomorrow so I have put off going to the ED. Everything has honey been smooth sailing. It kinda sucked passing up all my Christmas faves this year but I have next year to look forward to. To be completely honest the only problem I have is controlling my head hunger. Week 4 and I am doing much better. So far no acid reflux, nausea or vomiting so that makes me a happy camper. From October 1st (when I started to diet for my wedding and surgery) until now I have lost a total of 32lbs. 21lbs has been post op. I feel great and excited to return to work. Happy New Year!!!
