Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing?
LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask.
I’m 6 weeks + 2 day out from Bariatric Sleeve surgery.
NSAIDs are glorious. I started back on diclofenac on Friday night. It made the event on Saturday much more bearable. Sadly I think my hip has actually gotten worse than it was before my bariatric surgery. Regardless, the NSAIDs dropped my hip from a constant 5-6 down to a 2-3. It’s a welcome change though I’d love to drop that down to a 0 (hahaha.. like there are people in the world my age that experience life at a pain level of zero.. go ahead, pull the other one).
So far I’m down 25 lbs from my surgery date. This week was mostly a stall. I blame eating out a couple of times and Easter candy. Post-WLS I can eat about 3 chocolate candies before they start making me sick to my stomach.. so I’m not exactly gorging on Easter candies.. but 1 is more than I should be having.
Early in the week I had my 5 week virtual follow-up with the bariatric program. They say that I’m exactly where they would expect me to be.
