Week 1 post op VSG
I go sleeved on the 29th, so I'm a couple days over week one but I wanted to log this anyways. I spend 2 nights in the hospital after being sleeved (protocol in MX), so my fluids were taken care of. After being discharged I've sucked with all of my goals 😕. First 4 days I was just so paranoid of putting things in my stomach that I only had Gatorade and apple juice. I ended up having some lentil soup on day 7, and it was great. My protein intake is shameful, I'm going to try different protein smoothies this week and try to be better. I'm still taking antibiotics but I stopped painkiller on day 6. Idk if anyone else had this problem, but I smelled soooooo bad for like 5 days post-op . They make you shower in the hospital but like an hour later I could smell my BO and it was disgusting. TMI... My pee smelled worse. It prolly had something to do with anesthesia and all the drugs. So what I'm saying is pack some febreez, lol. "Complications": dizziness, weakness. I know it's because I'm not getting enough to water/nutrients/protein. I've started taking gummy multivitamins, iron and b12. It's helping. Goals for next week: get enough fluids get better at taking protein take all the vitamins I'm also not weighing myself. I see a lot of people on my tl struggling with the scale as they get further in this journey. And I really don't want that for myself. So I've put my scale away. I'll start monitoring my weight once I start working out.
