Hi, Putting on socks, getting in and out of a car are all uncomfortable. It's day 7, and I am not driving. I went to the market, and got super tired pushing an empty cart. I sat down. Just shifting in bed, getting up from a couch, if you are not slow, it hurts. I am walking around teh house every 30 minutes and walking a half mile early morning and night.

Hi, I felt decent the day of surgery and the day after. The first week, I was not close to drinking recommendations from my doctor. Now I can sip 8OZ of chicken broth, protein soup, cream of wheat, in 25 minutes without discomfort. Trying to drink water, up two 50oz a day, today is Day 7 Today, I will be at 80 oz of protein. Saw my doctor on day 5, he says I am doing great. Walking a 1/2 mile twice a day.

Thank you to all who replied to my last post, getting through week two. GREAT Tips!

Good Evening/Morning, Tomorrow will be the end of week one of my Gastric Sleeve Surgery. Any great tips for week two? I am still having difficulty drinking enough fluids, and am at about 40 grams of protein. I do not like the taste of Premier Protein water. I enjoy Protein 2.0 although it only has 15 grams of protein. Also, does anyone have recommendations on great food storage brands, with sizes from 4-8, 12 ounces. I work at a prison, and I know I can portion out food into my rubbermaid of snapware containers, I was seeking a better options. So, I look forward to your tips and advice.
