Sleeved day three
So I posted yesterday morning about being sleeved and in the hospital. I hadn't had anything to drink or walked yet. Following the advise I received on OH I bugged the nurses for ice chips and to let me walk. They gave me ice chips right away and let me walk later that afternoon. I felt so much better after walking. I have issues with acid reflux so I am not sure if it is just acting up a lot with my new tummy or if I am feeling the gas from the laproscopic surgery but either way the gas pain is the worst part. My belly is just a little sore but I do not feel like I had a major surgery at all!
I am home now. Getting up and moving around often. No more pain meds by choice. Thinking about getting some gas strips or something though. I will have a visiting nurse starting tomorrow who will visit once a day until Tuesday when I go for my first post op visit. I do have two drains but they are no big deal, just a little inconvenient. I have a tutoring job that I have on Monday nights with two Autistic boys. I was planning on going but they would be so distracted by the drains sticking out of my shirt that it would be a waste of time! (They notice everything and are not afraid to point it out or ask questions!)
Anyway, I am glad to be home. Feeling good. Walking & sipping. Walking is easy and I hope the sipping will be soon too, right now it is uncomfortable every time but I have been sipping away. The protein shake I am drinking now seems to be going down a little better than the water and broth I had earlier.
Thank you everyone for your support!! It has made this journey a breeze so far :)
