Hello everyone! Just found this app and it's brilliant! I'm 7 days post surgery after a gastric sleeve. I think I'm doing pretty well so far I'm only really struggling to take in enough Water etc. I find drinking slowly and sipping often is the best for me. I'm looking forward to giving and getting support on here.

Yay!!!!!

Day 8, I woke up feeling pretty good, which is surprising because I didn't take pain medicine last night. Got a shower and got dressed, with limited help from my wife. Had my medications crushed up and put into some sugar free pudding. Ate about half the serving of pudding. We then went out and took care of some errands. Since I hadn't taken any pain medicine I decided to drive. Stopped at the state surplus store, then an army surplus store, Bass Pro, and finally a grocery store. By the time we made it home I was pretty tired and a little sore. So I took half a dose of my medicine and relaxed the rest of the evening. Got in an easy 64+oz of liquid and 40g of Protein. Tomorrow I'm shooting for 80g of Protein. Hopefully that will help a bit with my energy.
Finally today I started to feel human again. I was sore but not in a lot of pain. Looking forward to what tomorrow holds. May even make it to church service.
I forgot to mention, my watch slid down my arm today and rotated. Had to cinch it up a notch! Seems silly but it was a big deal to me.

Oh my goodness thanks for making me giggle @ OKCpirate. I read your reply out to my hubby he didn't know whether to look pleased or not about the hormones!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@startinganewme - Enjoy the ride. Terms to know:
NSV - non-scale victory
Stall - the inevitable point where you body catches up on fat loss and readjust your metabolism and causes you angst for a few weeks thinking you are doing something wrong. Stalls happen, don't sweat it.
Hormone Rush - Since hormone's are stored in fat, you might get some strange emotions or urges you have never felt before. It's normal, but it may explain why you want to have sex more often, in strange places, with strange people.
Panic Points
Not pooping for a week to 10 days post surgery. Ehm, it will all come out in the end. You will worry, but don't.
New attention from people, which may bum you out because you feel like the same person, but people are treating you differently. Eventually you will find your new normal and the feeling passes.
I'm sure others can add to the list. Congrats.

Congratulations and nice to meet you

Welcome. I'm 76 days post op. It's a learning experience. Take it slow. Listen to your n.p. and dietician. Ask them for help when you need it.

I had my DS on the 15, so I'm kinda in the same boat as you! I have a timer go off every 15 minutes to remind me to take my fluids. Oh, and the poop thing is real. WWWIII happened in my bathroom this morning and now my rectum is traumatized! XD I don't care for taking the Protein shakes but at least my body is tolerating them. Right now, that's all that matters. Welcome to newbieville!
