I got home today from hospital I was sleeved on Friday. I'm feeling pretty good I have my pain meds, nausea medicine, and Prilosec so I think I'm pretty good with that department. I'm with a lot of you in getting all my liquids in, so hard! But with sleeping because of meds, it's really super hard. Any suggestions? I want to follow everything through exactly and I feel like this isn't good.

You will sleep alot. Try to drink whenever your awake.

Are you sleeping or not sleeping?

Yes I am sleeping a lot

It might wear off. First day home I slept. Now I'm an insomniac.

I had my surgery last Monday. I went home Tuesday and slept 16 hours! Now, a week later, I am having troubles falling asleep. And yes! For me, getting my drinking in is a b***h. How am I supposed to get 64 oz. of water in and 65 g. of protein in...if I have to SIP everything. I am trying my very hardest- I notice a difference in my energy level. After taking a shower today I was spent! Good luck!

Yes I have been working at getting in all the liquids and eating my oh so nummie (ha ha) broth. I love that I get to choose from chicken and beef, woo hoo-- the highlight of my eating...But you know I am really excited about getting the weight off and seeing results! I am just glad the hard part is over and I can start the rest! I love this forum thanks for your responses! By the way did you gain weight when you got home from the hospital? I got on the scale right when I got home yesterday from the hospital and it said I gained 4 lbs LOL!!!

Well I initially went from 265 at my pre-op appointment June 25th to 258 the day of my surgery. They didn't give me any restrictions other than clears the day before. I guess I was pretty dehydrated when I went in (I took a full liter of fluid without needing to go to the bathroom). For my first walk after surgery they weighed me and I was 261, which they said was water-this all was July 9th. I am a week out, and Sunday I was 247, but this morning I was 250. Maybe it is just my scale, but my weight is up and down. I am looking forward to being able to go to the gym and work some of this water off!

You need the sleep, you will eventually ge the fluid in you need, give it time. Just make sure to drink as much as you can when you are awake.
