I was sleeved April 15th at about 2pm. The first couple days after surgery I spend sleeping but once day 3 hit I wanted to walk and ride to every where but the doctor suggested only walking around and no steps until my first post op visit. I now see why because without my Vitamins or Protein Shakes I have gotten very weak. My doctor wanted STRICTLY Clear Liquids. I don't regret the pain or weird feeling in my stomach because 6 days later I'm down 21.5lbs!! :-) now can anyone tell me how many staples are on each incision and if they hurt to remove the bandages and staples?
I'm in Sourhern New Jersey. I haven't been cleared for Protein drinks yet so I'm getting none in this week until I'm cleared on Tuesday. I've been doing chicken broth and it's been amazing it actually helps me feel full for a while
