How's everyone doing?? I am still very uncomfortable to the point I can't sit up for long periods of time. Also very week. Think it's time to call the surgeon. I'm drinking as much as I can and getting Protein in but not the amount that is required. So frustrating but trying to stay focused and positive that it will all be worth it in the end.

Good luck to you both. I was sleeved on 7/13. It's been a roller coaster ride to get to this point but I know it will all be worth it. The only suggestion I would make is bringing comfortable pajama bottoms and slippers. I was woken up every 2 hours to walk the hospital hallways. And you may want a pillow for the ride home as well as coughing or sneezing. You will be sore in the incision spots. Good luck again!! Keep us posted when you can!!

I was sleeved on 7/13 and today is the first day I actually am feeling pretty good. Still having a hard time getting in the Protein requirements but I'm headed to the store for unflavored protein.

Thank you so much! I'm so excited for this journey!! I was afraid that if I didn't drink enough today I may have had to go to the hospital for iv fluids. But I managed to get down a lot of fluids. Tomorrow I hope to tackle some more Protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! Sleeved on 7/13 and can't seem to drink enough liquids or get enough Protein. Was fine first two days. Now I seem to be very uncomfortable. Any advice or suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Starting to get itchy myself. I guess I thought I would be in more pain. It's more uncomfortable than anything. I haven't sneezed yet but I did have the hiccups-that wasn't fun lol good luck to you!! Looking forward to this life changing journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
