One Week Out

May 07, 2013

Well, I've been sleeved for a week now.  Overall, it's been an interesting experience.  There is so much information out there, but the biggest thing that I've learned is that everybody is different and there are no stupid questions.  I thought I had gas.  I didn't know I had stitches way deep inside that pull and feel like gas pains.  Thought I was kind of dying at one point.  But it's all good.  The other thing my doctor said today was that bariatric surgery is one of the most traumatic surgeries that your body can go through.  The only ones that are more traumatic are brain and heart surgery (according to my doctors).  I was fooled by the 5 little holes.  I was expecting to be up and running relatively soon.  Woops!  I was wrong.  I do one or two things and then I'm ready to go back to sleep.  I'm still glad that I've gotten it done.  I'm excited to see how I progress on this journey.  Right now I'm still in the liquid phase - some full liquids, but mostly clear liquids because I know I can handle them.  Each day, each new food is a new experience.
