I'm a gamer, so I use the Habitica app. I set my own goals including difficulty settings (I'm disabled/ fibromyalgia too) so I have tasks/ achievements for when I take my vitamins, have a protein shake, make my other protein goals, water intake, exercise etc. I get "experience" points and my character levels up, earns pets, mounts, items etc. I've just started using it and it's been a real help.

I'm another!

Sounds like you may need to call your surgeon especially with the low grade fever just in case you're getting an infection. I think the one normal common thing is feeling tired and ran down at your stage. I did a lot of sleeping the first 6 weeks. Between healing from surgery to the restriction of calories,it doesn't give you a lot of energy. I'm 10 weeks and started to feel a lot more energy about 8 weeks out. If I do a lot one day the next day I'm usually wiped out. My doctor said that's normal till around 6 months out. I hope you feel better and they can get to the bottom of why you don't feel good

There are many WLS patients that do fine on just Tylenol post-op. I was one of them 😉. And you will lose! It is so worth it - you will feel so much lighter on your feet, and have much more energy than before.

What does everyone use to track their food and fluid intake? I am scheduled for 3 days from now and haven't found anything for tracking yet.

I use this one.....I really like it ! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1XH9BQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A3TB2SK5ET22PX&psc=1

I feel you. My date is Feb 3 so I've started my 1 week pre op diet. I was not expecting it to be so difficult! I have been keeping full with the liquids and protein shakes but my cravings have been nonstop. I'm hoping it gets easier.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Just so you know, is strangers support you! But maybe you should go to your support groups. I’m sure you can benefit from them.

Well, I farted lots too, but mine definitely had a smell to them (you're lucky yours are odourless!!). I burped lots too. Eventually, the increased farting stopped, but the burping is still around (not as much as in the first months, but def much more than anyone else I know personally).

hi I am65 and getting my sleeve done on 10/27.It's better later than never.I predict I feel a whole lot younger than I do right now.Good Luck with your surgery.
