Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing?
LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask.
I’m 1 week + 1 day out from Bariatric sleeve surgery.
So far I’ve lost 11 lbs (which includes the BS 5 lbs I gained while I had the surgery).
I am still on the liquid diet (protein shakes and water) until next Monday when it goes to “pureed diet”. All food smells (toast, hamburgers, etc) make me want all the food but I’m not hungry. My mouth is bored from all the protein shakes.
I can now sleep on my stomach so I’m getting much better sleep. My incisions still burn when I twist/lean but it’s less burn-y than it was. The bad part is that sleeping on my stomach is doing a number on my lower back. I really need to go visit my chiropractor.. but I don’t want to do that until the incisions are healed. ![]()
No NSAIDs is still a PITA. My hip is KILLING me. Well okay.. my hip is stiff (5-6) until I use it for a bit.. then it’s hurt-y at a consistent pain level 2-3. That’s on the list to get replaced later this year.. need to lose about ~45 lbs to do be able to do that.
Badly want coffee.
That’s on the nono list for at least a year.
