Just push as much fluids as you can. Remember we are works in progress! You will make it!

My doctor told me I had to wait 4-6 weeks for healing. Just walk! I want to keep the momentum going so hopefully this week I will get the ok. Elliptical here I come!

go girl!

My surgery was April 8th. I am down 29 lbs thus far. Next week is my one month appointment. Today I told my self I am going to make 60 grams of protein. I just drank the nastiest protein drink mix with the Gosh awful EAS AdvanEDGE shake. I ate some yogurt (15 grams). I am at 42g and I did that ricotta bake in the cupcake pans so I am thinking one of those will put me at 50-52. Wish me luck!

Same here! After a few bites, I get this pressure in my chest/windpipe area, that is only relieved by walking. I have been able to eat more often, but I can't take in a lot. This morning it took me two hours and 10 minutes to eat 5oz of Chobani yogurt. I am not complaining, I am just adjusting to my new life style! Still working on the protein though!

My nutrition plan says 7 weeks vegetables cut very small.

Hi Neighbor! I am in Fayetteville, NC. I am 8 days post op! I had hernia repair as well. I have not weighed myself, I will weight until my 2 week appt next week! I stopped being sore, Day 5. I have been running around nonstop since I got home! I have not consumed much at all, its a wonder where my energy is coming from since I have been less than 100 calories a day. I did eat a sugar free pudding cup! I am getting there! Gotta work on my Protein but I can say I average 40 ounces of Fluid a day.

I am glad this post was made. I have been getting literally less than 100 calories a day but I am sipping water and Crystal Light. I am burping and the gas is moving out finally. I am going to attempt some broth this morning.

I haven't been depressed. Just been working on these gas pains! You got this!

When I was in recovery I had no drain, no foley. Is that normal? I had prepared my family for that but nothing. I know this could be a blessing in disguise but was curious. I am at 30 oz a liquid but improved everday.

What are you experiencing? I was sleeved April 8th. I can't get fluids in. Just some. The gas pains!!!!

I am 5 days pot op. I feel good but just can't get my liquids in. I finally went potty though. Today will be better.

It got easier the closer I got to my goal. I didn't want any food. Now I am Day 4 post op.

You are exactly right. I was on a 4 week plan. I cheated because I thought I was hungry. When I got serious, I lost 19 lbs in 11 days. Now I am day 4 post op. All in my mind.

Was sleeved on 4/8. You will be fine. The worst thing is the gas. Trying to walk. Hard to eat walk with air.No regrets though.
