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.

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
