I’m constantly thirsty too! And I hated water before, now I can’t get enough :(

I was sleeved on the first too. Sometimes I do feel like I'm super hungry but it may be because my husband is still eating fast food. Maybe try getting more protein in throughout the day. I found using GenPro flavorless protein helps me to feel full. I don't like the pre-made protein drinks/shakes so being able to add protein to what I actually like helps me to feel full. Also, this is going to sound crazy but popsicles and the P3 snack packs have been a life saver for me.

I’m 11 days post op (10/1) and this is the first day I’ve felt like myself. I had my 2 week check up today and my surgeon and nutritionist say all is going well. I’m down 20 lbs and was cleared to start stage 4. In my excitement I ate too fast. Got down 4 bites of chicken and it felt wrong. Then I felt sick and threw up. Horrible. Can I just live on shakes and yogurt? I also also got the all clear to exercise but I’m still so fatigued I don’t know what I could possibly get accomplished. Anyway, is anyone concerned about getting enough water?

@crankymagpie I am sorry, I do hope you and your family are able to find solace and comfort hugs.

Cocotein is coconut water enhanced with protein and Premier Protein makes a protein water in few different flavors

Yes! I feel like I’m behind all day but I’ve found that sticking with liquids and avoiding pudding, yogurts, etc. helps. I even add protein shake to my coffee. I only drink protein water. The only thing I have that doesn’t have protein is popsicles and my nutritionist told me today they count towards my liquid. It’s only 3-4 oz but if you have two you’ve already got one cup down. So I sip water and shakes all day and then make soup which takes me hours to finish but I prefer savory to sweet so I don’t mind cold soup since it’s breaks the monotony.

I had surgery Monday lots of pain until mid day Wednesday now just occasional discomfort (sudden movements, etc). I’m exhausted though. I walked around my apartment building and was completely winded (I typically walk a lot more). Otherwise, I feel good. Also I never realized how wonderful popsicles are lol.

Thank you! Cheers October sleevers!

October 1 here, I'm kind of freaking out. Oddly enough, surgery isn't what's freaking me out, it's life after surgery that's freaking me out.

Try pickles. Zero calories, tons of sodium. And crunchy.
