June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
Phone charger, bathrobe, lip balm/chapstick for sure. I also brought my laptop so I could stream Netflix. I had to bring the program book for reviewing with the nutritionist before going home. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm not having any food issues either. You have company! Just finished a little tuna salad for lunch. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

I originally was only taking two weeks, but I just called and added a third. I'm feeling better but my abdominal muscles are just so achy. Can't imagine sitting at a desk yet. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my first follow up with the surgeon. Everything looks good and he's pretty happy. He busted me on liquids though. He doesn't want me to count protein shakes as part of my liquids, so I wasn't getting to 64 ounces. I don't feel dehydrated, but now I've got to work on drinking more. Funny contrast to Bullet's being worried about too much water. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

For me, I had no problem peeing, but found that the urge to go wasn't happening. Masked by the pain, maybe? I was going to the bathroom based on the amount of time passed, rather than feeling. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 12 days out and find that I'm dying for more savory flavors. It feels like so many of my liquids are sweet. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

June 2019 sleevers
Interesting, Purple girl. I'm 6 days post-OP and I too feel wretched in the morning. Not too bad, but enough that I'm stockpiling water and shakes bedside so I can have something before getting up. Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app
