4 Days Post Op

Jun 10, 2010

Here I sit... 4 days post op.  I feel like crap and cannot pull myself our of it.  I know I will.  I know it will get better, but man this is a lot more pain than I anticipated.
The major gas pains just after surgery have passed.  I am keeping things down now.  (I only had 3 episodes of things coming back up total).  But I sill feel just yucky! 
I expect to wake up from each nap ready and rarin' to go, but...no.... As soon as I move I remember how sore my abs are... Yuck!
I am not trying to be a downer here, not at all.  I have no regrets about my sleeve and know that this will end up being a great thing for me, my body, and my health It's just that today I am in pain and will probably be this way  for a while. 

On a positive:
I am down from my pre-surgery weight (about 3 lbs.)
I have upped my protein intake to 50 gms today (double that of yesterday)
I have drank 32 oz. water in addition to my shakes (not too shabby)

I know things will look up!    Here's to making the me I see into the me others do too!
