Add Fiber to ur diet. Doctor has me on powered fiber u mix into whatever u drink can't taste at all. Says we should have about 17grams per day.

I don't feel hungry ever! But I know I have to keep sipping still on liquids for another wk. I feel very full after a protein drink but that's it. But like I said if I didn't have to drink drink drink I wouldnt even feel the need. Hope your Dr can give you some guidance and answeres sweetie!

did you find them sweetie?

i was just sleeved on the 14th and period was due to come this week. it came and hasnt left yet, but it wasnt a normal period was maybe heavy for one day if you want to call it heavy I dont even feel up a pad, and there is only maybe one dark spot on the pad when I go to change it and still waiting for it to stop.think it started Monday.... Should stop tonight or tomorrow if it stays like pre surgery periods.

Hey guys! Since surger on the 14 and having times stay in the hospital til Sat the 18 things have very slowly been improving. They had me staying in the hospital an extra night due to high heart rate. Which came down as soon as they said I could home. While in the hospital I was using an over head bar to help lift myself in and out of Bed and my ended up getting horrible pain in my left shoulder. Did xray everything was fine. Finally the PA came in and say she was going remove my drain that when lifting myself the tube might have got stuck around diaphragm. And can cause shoulder pain. So she removed the drain and instantly shoulder pain went away. What a relief. Since being home find it hard to get all fluids in and have to remind myself I dont have to finish them in a set time. I can take it slow. A surprise for me was I didn't know how exhausted I would really be from this. I am so tired after the smallest task. But even takin a shower knocks me out lol Tomorrow will b 1 wk post op and I do an official scale check! Good luck everyone!
