interesting... my nutritionlist, said that her patients that do the best stay on at least 1 protein shake a day for life.

uh-no... I could not take it, the family was cooking on the grill. I did it. I had an entire brat sausage link. I ate it slow, and chewed chewed chewed. I am really really FULL. I feel so quilty. My surgery was only on 3/20. This was about 15 min. ago, so far so good. But I am not going to do that again. I see the doc on Friday for my 2nd post op, and was hoping for stage 3. This was way too much.. fingers crossed.

Same here.

Yeah, I dont feel like I have much energy either. Surgery 3/20. I dont want to do anything. I am tired. I am doing better. Back to work. But when I get home, I just want to watch TV. I feel done. I am not working out or walking yet, No carbs at all, unless there in yogurt (yes there is some) but I am hungry and tired. UGH!

yep, me too. Surgery was only 3/20... most of my discomfort has changed from strong ab pain (like to much working out) to a "twinge" in the incision that my stomach came out of. and yes, doc said that had the most trauma and would be sensitive. I find myself holding my tummy sometimes and pushing it in. (weird) Its not bad, but it is there,

Interesting... my doc doesnt want me to start vitamin until 4 weeks. I feel like I really need them. I am tired. (kinda lazy feeling) I am tired just drying my hair... I dont think I am getting in enough protein. close, but not really there. Jerseygril, are you taking chewalbe or liquid vitamins ???? Maybe try another brand for now. If you doc wants you to start taking them, maybe another kind just for now ??? FEEL Better!!!

For me it was slow and steady. I had surgery 3/20. Craving all the bad food that got me here. But I am ignoring it. MOve around, walk around, drink something every 10 min or so. and work on your protein. drink drink drink... but slow.

@ lisi287. Wow really. You can eat that stuff already. I was done on 3/20 and I can only have foods the same consistency as applesauce. @jerseygrl09. Are you sure you gonna have a P &J sandwich. sounds too heavy to have so early.

Jerseygrl...... Questions 1. Can u Sleep On your side after gastric SLEEVE I finally can. I am a side sleeper, I tried in the hospital but it was a no go. but at home... yeahhhh. getting up took some practice, I had to use all my arm strength to push myself up. 2. Y does it hurt when sipping liquids I dont have pain when I sip, but if I take too much or too cold, it do get some pain and feel like I need to stretch my upper body, to help it all go down. 3. Is my stomach supposed 2 make werid noises.? My stomach and other things were grumbling very loud. I think it was hunger and gas... 4. How long till all this gas leaves u? I heard some take Gas-X. You got to walk around A LOT. keep moving that helped me. but I still think I got some air in there, my surgery was 3/20 5 .burping hurts y? ​Yes, burping, sneezing (OMG), coughing (don't want too) Sounds like normal stuff to me.. well, sounds like me!

Yes, I think we all had those moments of "why".... But I am only 8 days post-op, saw my doc, and I lost 11 lbs. I went shopping last night, and I feel much better. It is amazing what a few days can do. Keep the hope.

Big Congrats JerseyGrl.....what a big step you are taking. I am only 1 wk out. I was sore.. I did not get any sleep at the hospital (typical) I did better once I got home. Just remember that this is a positive step towards your (our) new life... yeahhhh

yeah.... I am only 1 wk out. Take is slow and steady. I am lucky to have a wonderful hubby, and I am using this as much as possible ha ha hah. slow and steady....

Loveit.... How are you doing today?

question about your "tickers" counting down our weight. How do you update them?

I wonder this too. I am 6 days post-op !!! whoop whoop..... I drink broth, Jello, frozen sorbet, diet V8 splash. I am so surprised to read that some are aloud to have Protein shakes already (well, jealous) I dont think I can have strained cream of soup until I am 14 days post-op. (next week)
