I apologize for my messy room lol
5'1 40lbs down :-)

I believe when the doctors say to get 60 grams of Protein they mean when you get on your solid food schedule. It is very hard to get 60 grams right off the bat when your stomach is still swollen from surgery. I had trouble also with fluids and protein. Just make sure that anything you eat is high protein, if not, find something else! As for fluids, what saved me was sugar free popsicles! When I went for my 2 month appointment and told them I was not getting anywhere near the amount of fluids, that is what they recommended. It will get better. I am almost 6 months post op and I am loving my sleeve, but I remember one of my first posts that was very similar to yours! Good luck to you.

I too am struggling with this however, Im supposed to advance at day 14. Im at 10 right now and am about to do it. I have no pain, dont really feel restrictions yet and getting all my Protein ect. I can even guzzle a few times of Water and absolutely no problem.

I was also sleeved 7/17 I too was hungry I have been eating Jello yogurt and cream Soup as of yesterday. Tonight I might try some mashed potato. I say try a bite it two.

Hello Everyone! I had my surgery on the 17th! Everything went well. I was active since they put my in my room. My first walk was 2 am the next morning. I have been walking ever since. Not in any terrible pain. Just a little soreness from where the incision was where the pulled my stomach. And oh my the gas!!!!! I think the gas is worse than the soreness....lol! I've had my moments of trying to get my liquids down....the gas makes that a little difficult. But for now, things are good.

Also would like to share with all of you the amazing encouragement that I recieved from my big sister!! She is amazing!!

Good Luck to all the July Sleevers!!! I was sleeved 7/12 and discharged on 7/13! I did not wake up in pain and I have not been in pain at all! I have had soreness where my lapband port site was! I gained 4 pds the day of surgery, but there falling off! I can't wait to see results!!! I'm praying for each of you, because its always a little scary to have surgery!

I can't sleep and I have everything ready to go to the hospital. Waiting has never been my strongpoint.

God bless and keep you!

I have to be at the hospital at 10:30 am tomorrow. I pray that everyone does well. I am excited to be getting this done and super excited to see the results long-term!!!!

Ok.... I did it!! Surgery was yesterday at 11:30!! I have not been sick yet and I'm eating chicken broth and Jello just fine. The Water did give a little nausea, so I'm trying to get my liquids with the broth and jello. I also had my hernia repaired and I haven't had any problems so far!!! My gallbladder surgery 2 years back was worse than this!!
I'm excited to see how my body reacts to the weight loss and looking forward to my first bites!!

I have surgery tomorrow @ 10:30 am, nervous and excited at the same time.

Thank you! Tomorrow is the big day!

I have to say I hated all the canned and boxed broths... If you can I would make some home made its so much better especially since you will be having it for a while.
Making it doesn't have to be complicated. I buy a whole chicken. But for broth only purposes just buying some cut up bone in pieces and boiling them with salt pepper and garlic powder will work. When the chicken is falling off the bone it's pretty much done. Take the chicken out and you can shred it off the bone and freeze or use for your family that week, strain any pieces out of the broth and there you go!

I'm sure you will do just fine!

Well I'm back amongst the living. I was sleeved on the 9th and finally went home Friday evening. Had problems getting my HBP under control, fever, vomiting, and because of my deep short veins - problems with iV. I have bruises ever inch of my arms, wrists, stomach, hands, and finally had to put them in shoulder. Having hard time trying to get Protein Drinks n liquids in. I am improving everyday.

Hi July sleevers, my date is also on 22nd if my bank loan is approved in time. Really hope it goes well, have started the diet (low fat in my case and just fluids for last 2 days). So excited and nervous that I can hardly breathe.
I see that there are a few who will also be going on the 22nd.
WOULD LOVE IT IF ALL OF US JULYERS CAN BE FORUM FRIENDS! it will make it easier to navigate through the same issues.

One more day for you! How are you feeling? Mine is the 17th and now I am Super Excited!!!!

Mine too on the 17th..CANT WAIT!!!

July 16th is my date, nerves are creeping in
