Home From Hospital!

I got home and I am really sore but I haven't has any nausea at all. So that's exciting!! It's kind of surreal that Im really here with a gastric sleeve. I've waited e very long time for this. Did anybody else just go through the surgery? I keep sipping on water and broth but I am scared I will over do it so I am taking TINY sips. Any help with that would be great. What else are you guys including on your liquid diet?

    Hello everyone, After writing a few days ago that I am tolerating liquids well, now I am experiencing feelings of flushing (for lack of a better word) and slight nasuea. It figures. I actually wrote a separate post to see if others experienced this. My surgeons office said this happens and is normal. Thanks to MGM for the advice about the protein packets. I am definitely going to check that out. I can't imagine ever taking in anough protein at this point in my journey. Hopefully it keeps getting better. But I must only be taking in about 100 to 200 calories a day. Surprised I am still walking around. I guess you can live off your fat. LOL
