I had my surgery on 3/28/12!!

Makes me 3 days post-op

And I feel just fine. I had no pain after surgery, they removed the morphine by Thurs. I have very little-to no discomfort and am able to drink my liquids per day. I am very grateful for such a great recovery session

I'm just a bit confused

I don't know when I should be drinking. I literally feel like I'm drinking all day long!

For example today

830am-cup of tea

Between 915-11 drinking Water

1130-Protein

I mixed 16oz of water with 2 1/2 scoops of whey Protein

I am still drinking that

And at 1230-broth

I am able to keep everything down no problem

I'm still w the protein from this morning

Is this normal??

I feel like a need a time line

Any suggestions?

10-

hey kiddo, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

as far as drinking, you are doing absolutely terrific.

Many people would be jealous of your liquid accomplishments. you are supposed to drink as much as you can ALL DAY, Protein mix, Water, broth, popsicles. You are doing great.

you having no pain, great recovery - be happy for yourself.

good luck til your next stage. If everything goes as well as above - i see smooth sailing for you. Congratulations

best

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
