I am still swollen. But I also had my gallbladder removed and doc said it's gonna take me a little longer to recover. I have bigger incisions, 5 x 2 inches and one about 3 inches.

So glad meeting fellow Dec. 14th sleevers!
I had my first great day with liquids today - 40 oz and 60g of Protein. I use the Isopure ready to drink protein and the cocotein. Can't handle the thickness of pre made Protein Shakes. Happy first week to everyone! I have lost 10 lb since the surgery. But was wondering how much do you guys walk? I have a fit bit if anyone wants to connect and motivate each other!

If you are worried about dehydration I can recommend pedialyte. It comes in different forms - powder to dissolve in Water, freezer pops or ready to drink in a bottle. It quickly replenishes liquids and electrolytes. I also used "Smartwater" in my first couple of weeks after surgery.
I was in a similar situation as your wife and had a hard time to get my liquids in. One 'trick' that helped me was using 1 oz cups , fill 4 for each hour. I tried to finish one cup every 15 min. Honestly it was hard in the beginning but it helped me to advance.
Hope that helps :-)
