How are you feeling? I was really tired and wanted to sleep a lot. I think it was because I wasn’t hydrated enough.

Hi! I got mines on the 10th but mines was the sleeve. I certainly cannot eat anything other than puddings, applesauce and liquids. The protein shakes are difficult so I’m taking liquid vitamins and protein. I must admit, I tried eating something I wasn’t supposed to eat and I was sick as a dog so I won’t push it and Im sticking to the plan. As of to date, I am 16.8lbs down and I’m feeling great. Best wishes to you☺️

It could be fluid. Have you been getting your water intake?

I went through that. It was divided. Some supported my decision and others opposed it but I did it and I have no regrets. Do what you feel you need to do. Remember that this is your body and you Are doing this to live, right? Mines was a little complexed than yours because I traveled to Mexico. My insurance wouldn’t cover it so I did what I needed to do. My surgeon and medical team were great, I met a lot of wonderful people from all over and I’m happy that I made the choice to go.

I was scared until I did it. I had mines done on 12/10 and as of today I am 16lbs down. I have no regrets. It’s a difficult journey but it’s worth it. You can do it!! ✊?

Struggling with eating and water intake
Thank you for that feedback. I think we subconsciously take bigger sips than we can tolerate right now. I actually love water and since surgery, I crave it.

I have some some chewable bariatric vitamins as well but I don’t feel like I’m taking in enough nutrients to take vitamins and I’m afraid they will make me nauseous?. I have these sneeze attacks often and because I’m still sore, it drives me nuts! ??♀️? My saying is, the choice was easy but the process is hard. We are food addicts that are experiencing some real life changes within our bodies and all we can do is embrace it and prepare for greatness. ☺️

I have cravings but I’m not hungry either. I think they call this head hunger. I’ve been getting my water intake but the protein shakes are too heavy for me right now. I’m starting protein liquid supplements which contain nearly 20g of protein per serving until I’m ready to take on a full shake because at this time, they fill me up, cause pain and make me Ill. Hey, no one ever said this process would be easy, right? ☺️??♀️

Hey There! Any December 2021 Surgery Friends?
Yeah, we ain’t ready ??♀️?. Try protein shots. There on Amazon. You can get your required dosage without making yourself sick trying to get those shakes down. How are you feeling? My experience has been interesting. I Started with lots of pain but each day gets better. ❤️☺️
