Ya I would say water & protein will help the exhaustion a lot. Im 2 wks out and it's made a big difference when im getting enough in. Good luck!

I was told 2x the adult dose of Flintstone complete vitamins. According to nut the gummies are not the same...missing some vitamins.

I agree this is similar to my surgeons plan as well in MN. I cant imagine crackers at this point im happy to start pureed in the morning! !

I was also sleeved on 7/28. My dr just moved me to pureed. They advance us slower but I have to say not vomiting. They also said eggs may take a while to sit ok. Also I am rule follower are u eating w baby size spoon? & taking 20-30m for meals. Remember slow & steady wins the race! Good luck

I agree walk walk walk. I was sleeved 7/28 & first cpl days the only pain was GAS. Walking the halls u also meet others doing same thing & get to chatting.

Im waiting on 1st shipment. This would save me $100 a month! So worth the paperwork & email tag to get it done. I prefer premier chocolate and when needed I thin it down w milk so not as sweet. Good luck

Hello are you getting in your water and protein? If not that makes you much weaker. I would concentrate on those 2 thing's first and then calories. When I'm hydrated & full of protein I have a much better day. Good luck. 12days post op down 8lbs plus the 10.5lbs I gained in hospital. Good luck

I agree im only 2wks out but from others I know they didnt drop sizes each week. I have several dresses and skirts that I have been wearing and that by adding a sweater and tights or leggings with should carry me into fall before I need to hit up goodwill.

I've been having the same thing. 2 wks post op having pain on left side lower back. I never thought about trapped gas and the over compensation. Thanks for thread. This site has been a LIFE saver!! Love u all and the honest responses????

I was up as much too. Surgery 7/28. Just make sure to not over due it too. You will get tired more easily and quickly.

Oh and my doc does 2 weeks fluids..2wks pureed...2 wks soft. ...2 weeks semi normal then normal and im on 1/2 c total per meal

I was sleeved 7/28 down 16 if u count the 10lbs I gained in hospital. On liquids for second week but losing my mind so I pureed and strained pea soup. Its very thin but feel like I'm not eating enough still. Got my cycle 2wks early and feeling depressed. Should I just go back to ALL protein shakes. Even w meals & 2 shakes a day I'm at 620cal a day! Help.

I too was sleeved on 7/28 & have had a dull headache. I'm chalking it up to ALL the changes my body is going thru. If it keeps up after 2nd post op visit I will ask about it.

Have you tried making your own protein shakes? Might be worth a try.

I gained 10lbs after surgery. Doc says because if IV fluids and retaining fluids after getting off my diuretic pill. Im hoping it falls off soon.

I agree I was sleeved july 28th and will be thrilled if the 10lbs I gained in hospital is gone in the next 3 weeks. Remember slow and steady wins the race!

Isopure is at vitamin shop as well. Its OK. But worth a try to mix up the fluids for the 2wks post op. Im so happy to be on this site. Helped me a lot. Thanks everyone.

Sorry left hospital a 233lbs and I am 5'6

Hey my surgery was July 28th w dr pierce! He was awesome & the nursing staff including NA's were the best! Let me know your thoughts. Hw:235 SW:222 left hospital at 322???? but he said not to worry! !

Thanks im going to ask my nurse about strips. And im trying to walk but I will do it more frequently! Thanks I needed a pep talk. This part is awful.

Ok help! ! Had surgery yesterday am. Gas pain is sooo bad. & 1oz water hurts going down. Normal help how long will this last?

Surgery is July 28th! Not going to lie little excited but also little nervous too. Dr didn't put me on preop diet but I am starting a week long in the morning. Hoping it helps surgery go smoother.

Awesome thanks! !
