Still In The Hospital Is This Nightmare Ever Going To End?

[May 3 2012 sleeve 0]

I too was sleeved on 3-may-12. The first week I felt great and I thought this couldn't be easier. Then 10 days post things starting going down hill. I was readmitted to the hospital on 16-may with severe dehydration and Constipation. They put me on IV fluids and had me drink magneseum citrate to get my bowels moving. I was discharged on 18-may. That night I was discharged was tough. Things have been getting a little better day by day. I am still trying to figure out what I can eat/drink without causing my stomach and lower back to start having pains.

I don't know if it is the whey Protein or the Vitamins, but something doesn't agree with me after I take it. Trial and error will hopefully tell.

I never thought it would be so difficult to drink enough fluids.

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow.

When did most of you start feeling normal again?

I am sorry you are both having problems, and Jimmy is right. The power of the brain and positive energy can be miraculous. I hope you are both healing and back to great health very soon.

It very well could be the whey Protein. I can't do pure whey isolate. I bought an powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury sample pack and got it in the mail the other day. Tried one of the shakes and I only got a little in before I gave up and dumped it out. Try some other, soy or something, mix with Water or juice, not milk and see what happens. Couldn't hurt to try it. I read somewhere that new sleeves can have issues with milk products for awhile.

I'm not sleeved yet by the way.

Feel better!!!
