Ktprimo

I only got in 2 oz of strawberry low fat yogurt, 2 oz of G2, 2oz of broth with a quarter scoop of protein and 6oz of Water. Not even close to the recommended daily protein or Fluid intake. Don't know how I'm gonna do this. I don't wanna eat or drink at all. Never thought I'd hate the idea of food and drink so much. I don't even know how to tell if I'm full cuz I constantly feel full and I'm force feeding myself. Thought I was doing good this morning until I realized how little I consumed. Hope tomorrow is better.

I actually find the list of what I need to take in a bit overwhelming so I am just gettong as close as I can. I do feel a lot better now than I did this morning and am grateful for that. I think taking my Vitamins helped a lot.

Two 8 ounce Protein Shakes, 8 ounce chicken Protein, a SF Popsicle, 8 ounces H2O by 3 pm! A lot of gas bubbles, but they passed quickly. That's 77 grams of protein but only 450 calories.

@@Ktprimo surprisingly I am feeling better too. Just suddenly everything is kicked in. I have almost 2 shakes down and a whole bottle of Water.< /p>

Ok. So I'm not sure what just happened but it's like a switch was flipped to "on" in my intestines. "Everything" is back up and running properly and suddenly I can sip without burping and even get in two ounces within 20 minutes without having to stop for the acid to go down. I am one happy sleever right now!
Even managed to catch up on office work from home, edit some photos from the wedding I photographed for a client last week and do some laundry. Now I'm really tired, full and functioning well. Gonna take a well deserved nap.
Hope all of you are having a good day.

That could definitely be how your head was placed during surgery but also could be caused by dehydration or just not enough rest. The light isn't very far away. You've got this! Just sip & rest and call your doc if anything gets worse or doesn't change after a couple of days.

Canning tomatoes is taking it easy? You go girl!

Surgery is a funny thing. I'm 3 days post op and had never been in a hospital. Thought I was gonna die.. apparently they had to use a lot of gas to inflate my chest cavaty and that was miserable getting rid of. I felt feverish and my blood pressure skyrocketed after sygery.. I got home yesterday and everything has calmed down. I'm getting the Protein Shake and Water every 15min and am doing laundry and canning tomatoes today.. just taking it slow.. it does get better.. I actually thought I had muscular legs until yesterday.. since I'm loosing fluids and weight I have bird legs..lol I'm down 31 pounds since the start of my liquid pre-op diet two and half weeks ago.
We're home free!!!

You need to stay in bed! There's no hurry. Try to hydrate the best you can. Sometimes it's the narcotics that cause the dry heaves. And that's got to hurt! Hang in there!

Just had surgery on the 30th... everytime I seem to lay down I get headaches... I am also a side sleeper and since my surgery I have slept on my back in bed propped up a little bit but it has my lower back killing me. I wished I had a recliner like I did for my csections. Also is it normal to have all this rumbling in the stomach while drinking, taking medicine, and just anytime. My stomach has been doing that constantly. I have also been so gassy and letting the farts go and occasional burps but it stills continues. Any help would be appreciated

I had mine done on the 29th. First time I was ever put under. It was an experience. Apparently I just asking to put my underwear back on after surgery and the would not let the male nurse do it cause he might see my "junk". Do not recall any of this. Anyways. They started me on phase where I can eat Protein and strained Soup. Not too bad. But got to get used to the kids eating good food. Eating Popsicles is good for me for now. Lost 23 pounds since my last trip to the dietician. Good luck

SF Popsicles, Unjury Chic broth, G2 with Unjury unflavored, SF Jello. Only 350 calories but I got 40 grams of protein! One more day of clears and then on to full liquids.

I did drink some broth earlier and it settled in my stomach better than some other things. Like Popsicles and jello...oh man...they don't agree with me right now. It sucks, I still feel bloated and have gas pains from time to time. I'm walking around my house as I write this. Lol. It's actually helping some. I just keep telling myself I've only been post op for 4 days and I need to give my body time to catch up. I hope everything gets better for you. I know how the struggles are right now.

In just an hour's time I feel so much better! I needed the pain meds. I hadn't taken any at home so it had been 24 hours. I also took antacid. Now I'm sipping chicken Soup Unjury and a Jello. I feel human again in just an hour! Thanks people!

I took the antacid they gave me about 15 minutes ago. I'm hoping it helps. My intestines are finally working normally as of this morning. Afraid maybe it has something to do with the fact that I woke up lying on my stomach. I suppose the pain meds they gave me really work because I have no clue how I ended up sleeping on my stomach and not in severe pain. LolI feel much better today. Still a little groggy and struggling to get in enough liquid since I hate the bubble sensation but I am totally enjoying this constant full feeling and having no real interest in food. So far I love my sleeve.

You're not the only one! They are on strike! I'm feeling like crap tonight. I just keep reading posts reminding me this too shall pass!

I am about to head home! And the best news is they've already taken me off a blood pressure medication for good!! Yay!!! They plan to wean me off the other after my follow-up visit. I'm so excited! So glad to hear y'all are doing well too!

Other then really sore ribs (from the inside out) I feel normal. Temperatures of either broth or Jello (while it's still in my mouth) start these weird mini sparks along my ribs. But for those, I could slurp down small amounts of either. The weirdest thing is I can't taste them hardly at all. I've never read any one else say that, so somewhat unexpected. Going home in a few hours!

I'm just sore right now and I try to walk a such as I can to get rid of the gas pain - and walking does help!!
I feel like my main issue will be getting back on my sleeping pattern. Because I napped so much during the day, I woke up at a weird time this morning which is going to make me want to nap all day. And so the cycle will continue. But considering its my worse issue currently- I'm considering myself blessed

Amen! That's been the worst part so far

I.had mine this morning
Stupid gas

I'm doing well everyone thanks for the well wishes. I am in some pain. Just started to sip some juice and Water been sleeping most the day. I have walked a bit today too.
