Things I find Challenging

I am finding it hard to get in enough liquids and I know HYDRATION is VERY important..

Things about my sleeve:

1. I'm not sure I can tell whether I am full or not and I try not to push it
I am hoping in time I will KNOW the difference

2. Laughing, Coughing or Sneezing is VERY painful

3. Nothing like having to hold your lap belly so you can pee

4. Peeing without proper hydration is a drag

5. measuring your pee is kind of gross

6. Enduring all of this for the weightless ----- Priceless

7. I am a belly sleeper so finding a comfortable sleep position is most often a PITA, I usually take some pain meds before bed to alleviate the pain and problems of sleeping with a gassed up bruised sore belly

8. The adhesive used on the gauze over my incisions is itchy, thankfully I have it about 98.5% off of my body

9. I can't bend at the waist, twist etc.. so unloading the lower rack in the dishwasher or unloading the washer kind of suck

10. Food smells great and can make me mean when I am hungry but have to eat a popsicle while they chew on steak, I try and go to my computer or the other room

11. My back is killing me I hope walking will remedy that as 2 of the days while at home I spent 75% of that sleeping
