This is my first ever post! I recently had gastric sleeve surgery on Dec 14th. I worked most of 2010 with my pcp and the weight management staff to get this far. My reasons for having the surgery seemed very clear to me. I've been overweight all of my adult life and the surgery seemed the logical thing to do to be able to get the weight off and keep it off.
Surgery went well. Recovery room ~ no nausea. I was rolled back to my room in good spirits. I was in the hospital over night and discharged at 3 the next day. While in the hospital I could not get comfy. The bed seemed hard and my butt sore. I was much more comfy at home. Each day at home I felt better and better and by Saturday was back to normal activities. Went to a brother sister breakfast and that night listened to church music.
During week one, while my abdomal muscles were sore, I was on liquids. and I am now on week two eatting soft and pureed foods. So far I have lost 14lbs. I have not lost anything in the last few days and find myself beating myself up over this. I would like to try and only weight once a week.
Constipation is a problem. Looking forward to being able to eat salads and more beans.
Thats my story so far. This is a new beginning for me. One I know I can lose the weight and keep it off this time. My smaller stomach keeps me from over eatting. Its a major tool I have been needing to win my battle with obesity.
I am currently at 245. today is Dec 23rd.
