12 days postop and I am finally feeling better! I'm drinking better and I FINALLY found a protein shake that doesn't make me want to puke everytime I drink it! I ate about 4oz of soup yesterday...it was so dang good. Actually have some energy today and pain is almost gone. So for anyone thats struggling just hang in there. It really does get better.

They tried to start an iv at the surgeons office but after 4 attempts with no success they sent me to urgent care. I have terrible veins and being dehydrated didn't help. After a liter of Fluid I felt much better.

48 to 64oz. I've only been averaging 30 to 40oz because of nausea. Bleh. A liter of fluid and I fill tons better.

Well dehydration has reared its ugly head. No energy, short of breath when I walk, heart racing, and dizzy when I stand up. So I'm at urgent care getting fluids. Yay me!!!

I am 7 days post op and am only supposed to be doing liquids but I've been having such hard time getting fluids and protein in! I'm seriously only taking in 260 calories a day at the most for the last week. I feel awful. So my husband did a very soft scramble on 1 egg for me and OMG it was the best freaking thing I've ever eaten. I chewed really well and it took me like an hour to eat it all but it was so worth it!!!

I had to do a month of presurgery diet before my surgery. I didnt cheat per se...I followed the plan but sometimes I would eat a little more than I was supposed to. I was exercising A LOT though so I still lost enough weight.

I was sleeved on 8/19. 7 days post op today and feeling ok. One incision is still pretty tender but otherwise I'm feeling ok. I've lost 9lbs since surgery. SW 224 DOS 211 CW 202. Total of 22lbs lost.

I am 4 days post op and having horrible pain to my largest incision. I can barely walk around my house must less exercise. I'm so frustrated. I'm also having a hard time getting my protein and fluids in. The last 2 days I've barely gotten in 20oz of fluid. Regret is the word for the day. Just needed to vent I think.
