I am sleeved and I am home! woohoo! It was tough like the doctors office said. After surgery, it was very difficult to move. I was awoken by pain and was given pain meds. I learned that it was very important to sip. I could only sip water after surgery. I was given a protein shake the next morning along with water. I was in the hospital overnight and I was released at 1pm the following day. Of course the first thing I did when I got home was weigh myself. I think I'm the only person that can have 75% of their stomach removed and drink water for day and still not lose a pound! (I know its the effects of the surgery but I was hoping for at least a pound to be gone!) The following 24 hours was a learning experience. I was warned to keep up with the specific diet given to me by my doctor for the first two weeks. I was warned that if I didn't follow it, I would become dehydrated. I've been very vigilant in following the liquid diet. I have also been sleeping a lot. Today, I am starting to feel like myself again and decided to catch up on email, school, work and everything else. So the journey begins and so far so good!
