You look awesome ! Congratulations

Thanks, that helps and makes sense !! I do admit I had about 2 oz of coffee this morning at room temp. How come they want us to walk but when it's difficult to get protein in you have no energy ?! Geesh

Congratulations ! I know exactly how that feels, 200 has been haunting me for years, literally, I kept telling myself if I could JUST get under 200 I would have won the war. I too hope I won't be that mean to myself. I am 4 days post op and still in the dreaded 200's. I did lose 10 lbs pre-op so that helped. Kee on truckin, everyday will be a new victory for us !

Well, I am frustrated first of all, because I am on clears liquids and it is getting old fast. However, this morning when I got up my first few sips actually hurt once they hit my belly. Is this normal ? I am 4 days today post-op. Why do the beverages ie: coffee and tea, need to be decaf? Why do I need to avoid hot beverages? I actually had belly growling as if I am hungry, is this normal ? It feels like the old hungry growl. Help !!

I'm doing the same thing !! I don't understand the clear liquids for so long. I want to chew !!! grrrr or have something with some sort of substance to it !!

OMG poor thing, I am so sorry for you complications. I pray you get better soon !!!!

Hi Lisa ! I was sleeved the same day ..Liquids are difficult still for me. I am actually going to get up and out of the house briefly today in search of some better clear Protein and sf drink mix. What I have doesn't ;like me so far .. I feel super weak because I am not getting in protein. I did make a Protein shake yesterday and sipped on it throughout the day to get something in. I have pain still and pain when I drink sometimes and find it easier to drink sitting up straight or even standing ! strange I know. You can do this, we can do this ! Just breathe walk and sip ! And take an occassional nap !!!!

Thank you so much ! I am going to go find myself some different protein today. All I have is protein shake protein powder.

Thank goodness! I am having the same issues and I am 3 days post-op. COnfused about how to get in protein when I have to be on clear liquids ? The only protein I have is from pre-op when I drank protein shakes w the powder. I am sipping constantly and I actually think I feel hungry or it could be gas,I have no idea how to distinguish. When I do drink, every other sip seems to case some pain temporarily and I have gurgling...maybe I need something heavier ?Feeling weak and tire easily. I also feel like if I don't sit up straight it bothers me, as in some pain when I drink.....does any of this make sense? I welcome all help and comments :0)

Awesome !! Keep on goin!.....

I was sleeved this Wednesday. 2 days post-op and trying to figure things out. Almost every time I sip when it hits my belly it gurgles with occassional pain. I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until I could hold down Water every 15mins for 4 hours ! I guess that was a blessing to me so I knew how to start taking fluids. Today is the first day drinking on my own. I have such conflicting paperwork on whether or not I should have a Protein Shake. The hospital told me to wait until the latter end of 7 days to drink one, I have paperwork I got from the doc that says I must have Protein daily. Right now, I am really scared. I WANT to taste real food on my lips but I know I can't.I can't tell if I'm hungry and I have no idea how much Fluid I have consumed today. Can someone help me with a "plan". I'm walking a little around the house every hourish or so. I think most of my gas is gone. Any ideas and advice are welcomed !!!

Thanks for that advice ! It does hurt occassionally when the liquid hits the belly. Normal?

Hi Everyone, I'm new here to the forum.I am 2 days post vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Is it supposed to hurt a little when I drink. I try sipping slowly and am I supposed to feel hungry ? Also, I was told to wait a week before Protein is added to my diet, is this right ?

I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein shakes yet right ? I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein Shakes yet right ?
