    I was sleeved 12-12-19....My husband told me today my body feels jiggly! After feeling myself, I am! It’s as if I’m losing all my muscle. Is this normal? I’m not taking in enough calories nor have any extra energy to even think about working out. I’m walking about 5 miles a day for work, and that literally takes almost everything I have. Im drinking plenty of fluids, and getting at least 65g of Protein a day. I’ve began to be able to get a few bites of soft food in a day. But mainly all my nutrition is Protein Powder in my fluids.

    It's a fact that u burn muscle when you don't have enough calories. I know it hard but that a battle you don't want to have to deal with later. Good luck

    I have looked into it. Any results would be subtle. It might tighten up your neck or face, might. But no chance of it helping arms or stomach etc

    I actually saw a couple YouTube videos were it did help. I have a unit. After i heal im trying. Why not right

    Agreed. I also think I'm seeing a pattern where the sleeve patients need to be a little more conservative than RNY at first, but obviously not statistically significant. And even then, there seems to be a ton of variation.

    My Dr. had me on Clear Liquids the first 2 days (they actually had me on broth the night of surgery). Now I am on modified full liquids until 2 weeks. It's any liquid and then things like greek yogurt, cottage cheese (chewed REALLY well), strained Soup, even watered down cream of wheat (although I haven't tried that yet).

    We are basically identical now. Can't wait for phase 3

    I’m doing really well. I’m off pain meds today and am a little tired but otherwise ok. I’ve met my fluid goals each day. I’ve been close to Protein (met 1 day) but to do that I feel like I’m putting something in my mouth all day - I know that I’m eating just a tiny amount but between 3 meals (2 oz Soup or Greek yogurt) and the 2 Protein Shakes I need to get Protein it is really hard.

    you?

    Oh wow im still on clear liquids until day 7 no protein. These doctors have a million different ways about how to go thru this process. Im off my pain meds. I constantly have the urge to gulp. I was a huge Water chugger prior. But i am happy you're doing so well.

    How are you doing and feeling since your surgery? Has consuming the daily liquid goals and etc. been manageable for you?

    Today is day 4 and i was able to get down about 40oz of Water and a half cup of broth. No nausea no vomiting very little pain. I guess i just had to give my stomach time to adjust to the change. Patience hasn't always been my biggest asset but i see that will need to change quickly. I actually woke up today feeling ok but i won't rush things and I'll trust that my body will do what it needs to in the time is deserves. You all are so wonderful and im so fortunate to be a part of this group.

    I'm sorry you are struggling. My understanding is swelling generally peeks 48-72 hours after an injury or surgery and you are still in that window. Hopefully, as swelling goes down the pain and nausea will as well and you'll start to be able to get food and more liquids in.

    Oh thank God i Hope that's true. Looking to Get over this hump soon.

    I had my gastric sleeve done on new year's eve 12/31. I haven't felt hunger but i know the half cup of Jello that i have consumed in the time since is not sufficient. I have been focused on staying hydrated. Both are hard because im nauseated which causes dry heaving a lot. Im up to 10oz of Water in an hour if i take my pain meds and my nausea pills which i can only do every 4hrs. I have one incision(ther one the stomach was pulled from) that's killer. Im trying to stay on top of this but i feel like I'm fighting a lot of battles at once.
