I was/ have been taking painkillers/ tablets since I had surgery. I was sleeved on Dec 20th so am not too far out.
My recovery was going well but I have started having pain on my right hand side of stomach since I got covid, this especially hurts if i move too quickly or if I sneeze.
I too was a big drinker of water pre-op, struggle now but doing my best. The one thing I will struggle with the most is not being able to drink with meals as I like to wash my food down and drink a lot with my food.
I too am not taking in enough fibre, what drink do you take?
OMG, I ended up with Covid in my second week, I know how you feel about being set back. My incisions and stomach started hurting again when I had covid and still aren't great now. I don't end isolation for another few days.
Hi, thanks for your comment.
I have been living on soups and protein water, had the odd protein shake but they are very sweet and that puts me off atm. I don't think I am getting enough protein but have subsidised by nibbling on a Babybel and had some mozzarella earlier.
Sweet things were my downfall pre-surgery and I am hoping I am now off them for life!!
Hi all,
I am from the UK but was sleeved in Turkey on 20th Dec, I was not big enough for surgery in the UK and it 4x the price here.
I don't feel like I am meeting my protein goals but do like the Grenade drinks. Is it just me or does everything taste extra sweet after surgery?!
Hi all,
I am new. I was sleeved in Turkey on December 20th.
Back home now and still thinking about food, I am putting this down to it being Christmas and there being so much in the house.
I am still sore from surgery but feel better every single day.
