3 days post op-no regrets !
Aug 05, 2010
I was sleeved 3 days ago and I just have to say that I am amazed and how wonderful I feel. I am still a bit sore but otherwise feeling great. I seem to have more energy than Ive had in avery long time and I am so excited to be completely recovered. Okay so the 2 days before surgery, I was very nervous, questioning my decision and really just asking myself if I had lost my mind. Oddly enough, the day of surgery came and I wasnt even a bit nervous, at least until I leaned over to kiss my little ones goodbye. They were still sleeping since I had to be at the hospital at 5 AM! I didnt like that part much at all and that wasnt a great feeling. Also, my husband was STILL in the hospital recovering from complications from a surgery (NOT WLS) I still felt a bit guilty that i hadnt postponed my surgery but he insisted i just go ahead. Once I left the house my nervousness dissapeared and there was no looking back. I instantly felt at peace with my decision and knew that all would go well and it did! I was uncomfotable when they woke me up but in no more pain than I had been with 2 prior c-sections. The worst part was that I woke up and still had the migraine that I had gone in with. My recovery was quick. The day after surgery my migraine had gotten worse and they told me they couldnt give me anything for it so I was relying on the pain pump they gave me for the surgery pain. I am telling the truth when I say that I didnt even need it for my post op pain but only used it to try to dull my migraine. I think it made the migraine worse and also made me extremely nauseated. Finally at 6 PM a new nurse came and offered me IMITREX for my migraine. YEAH!!! I came home yesterday and have no complaints thus far. Gas pains can be pretty intense but Im just trying to keep walking to keep everything moving. I start pureed foods tomorrow and cant wait for some cream of wheat! I do not regret my decision at all at this point. 16 pounds so far including pre-op diet loss of 12 and 4 pounds since Monday !
