Yea, I finally got sleeved on Tuesday. The first day home was awful but every day has been a little bit easier. I was told I had the glue on my incisions but found when I took the bandages off there were staples! I guess I'll get those out in my one week post -op.

Congrats!

How much fluid are you getting in?

Good for you Coach!!!! You'll be feeling great in no time. Weird about the staples though

Congrats

Stacey

yay for you!

welcome to the losers bench

YAY! Gratz Coach. Feel better soon.

Glad you did ok and are home, it only gets better..I'm 15 days out myself, rest sip and walk..:lol0:

Thanks everybody!

Goodlife, I know I'm not getting enough fluids. I'm really trying and it's getting better. Yesterday I got 35 grams of protein and that was day 5. I'm just finding that any of the ready to drink proteins I just can't stand. If it's powder and I mix it then it's better. I'm supposed to be getting 40 grams of protein and 48oz of fluid. The closest I've gotten is 30 oz of fluid.

But I'm walking so much my neighbors must think I am crazy!

Hey that's a start and it will get easier and easier.

How are you feeling?

Coach: my neighbors finally got to know me. LOL honestly, I walked so much I met so many neighbors, it is a good thing.

You will do fine. sorry to hear about the staples. I would not have liked that!

That is minor, I sure there was a good reason.

Enjoy your journey!

I am only a few days post op but this is my recipe for protein that seems to work really well. Red bottle isopure put in a bottle I bought at VONS that was big enough for ice cubes. Mixed with a 1/3cup motts apple juice and water, or depending on mood or tolerance for sweets, vitamin water. Shaken really well makes the mix cold and the ISOPURE kinda disappear. I have been home 2 full days and finished 2 full 40g bottles of "ISOPUKE". anyways I thought I would let you know if you wanted to try.

Thank you all so much! Today's almost a week and I'm feeling good. I've discovered that the Isopure, which I couldn't stand before surgery, I can drink now. Yesterday got closer to my Protein amount and today I think I might make it.

Phatcurves, thanks for that idea. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow.
