nettie1207 got a reaction from FLREDHEADMOM in Day 2 after sleeve
That's great!! I had a 4 hr recovery because of the band to sleeve revisionand then home last Thursday. However, take it easy. I went back to work yesterday and was exhausted afterwards. Today was much better.

nettie1207 reacted to Sparkle&Storm in 1 week po... Dilation & IV fluids anyone?
I'm doing ok! Still struggling to get fluid/protein in, but I'm doing my best and that's all I can do! I'm supposed to go in for fluids on Monday's and Friday's, but I think once a week will do fine if I can just get my Fluid up a bit.
I was really down on myself thinking I was failing at this... No one else seems to be in pain or struggling 2 weeks in. But ya know what, that's ok! That is their journey, and this is mine! We all heal differently and our surgeons are different, our bodies our different, and our experiences are unique.
I'm down 17 lbs in 16 days!! I sure as heck can't complain about that! ☺️🙌
Where are you at in your journey?
Thanks so much, Nettie! I know I'll get through this bumpy part and then it will be smooth sailing. So appreciate your support!

nettie1207 reacted to GassyGurl in Purée days - how do you get enough protein?
I ate buffalo chicken dip, ricotta bake, pimento cheese and yogurt. Google for recipes. Everything was already soft, so I didn't puree. I just chewed, and chewed.

nettie1207 reacted to Weight of Mind in Stomach Mating Call
hello everyone!
I just recently had Gastric Sleeve surgery on 06/18/2018. I was home from the hospital the following morning. Feeling great, getting all of my exercise in, having no trouble with Fluid, or getting my Protein in (so far, cross your fingers for me!).
Is it normal for my stomach to produce a mating call any time it's given any sort of liquid?

nettie1207 reacted to Matt Z in Post op weight loss
Welcome to a Stall. Don't worry about, just keep doing what you are doing (maybe even upping the calorie intake a bit)... you neglected to post your Water intake or exercise regimen. You need to be getting 64-128oz of water a day or as close to those numbers as possible, trying to get a little more each day. Our bodies cannot process fat without water, so make sure you are getting a bunch! And you should be walking every hour or so at this point.
DO NOT focus on weight... it's only 1 number in the overall process, body fat % is another one that hardly anyone bothers to track. But it's an important metric to pay attention to. I've just gone through a week+ long stall without losing any weight, but I lost .7% body fat in that same time. So, do not stress or worry, just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and everything will work out just fine!
