Checkin in on my fellow 17th'ers!! How's everyone doing? I been feeling pretty good. I can drink 52 ozs of fluid pretty easy now... My goal today is the big 64. I am so ready to get to pureed foods!!!!!!! One lady posted some great pureed recipes and I am anxious to try them. Im down 21 pds!

Thanks for the invite Jonathon!

On another note' date=' my surgeon called this am and I am being admitted to the hospital for a few days. He said I need thiamine and lots of fluids. Not just the few liters they've been giving me in the ER. He thinks that will help with the nausea too, but the kidney stones also cause me to be nauseas too. So, well see! Praying this gets me over this hurtle and that I pass the stones SOON! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Praying for you and that everything will work out.

I'm still exhausted. Even on my good days, if i do something like go shopping for a couple hours, i'm pooped the rest of the day! I think it's still a little surgery aftermath and also hard because we aren't really having food yet, so we just don't feel our old selves. This is my first week back to work and it's killing me already! And i have a desk job!

I was sleeved 10/18 and have lost 10 lbs post op. I'm totally struggling with making wise food choices on a consistent basis throughout the day. Today I decided to lay my main food choices out on the kitchen counter to keep a visual reminder - I think that should be a strong reminder to keep on track.

I really enjoy reading all of your experiences and encouragement to each other!

Hope you all have a very successful day!

Went back to work today. I am worn out!!! I am a rural letter carrier. People see their mail carrier riding around in their mail truck and think that's all we do. Let me tell you that is only part of the job. Standing for the 5 hours this morning getting all the mail reading to deliver was enough to make me want to crawl back in bed. Then the 4 hours spent on the route, walking packages up to the doors. This day has definitely been the most I've moved since the surgery. I will sleep so good tonight! It's a good tired.

jhumphries77- I have been thinking of you these last few days, hope all is well with you. Wish I had better advice that would help you out. We all may be on a similar path, but we have our different challenges. Take care.

Aww thank you! Challenges they are but only the string can handle this surgery and regardless of the complications I am remaining strong! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers! It means a lot and keeps my moral up knowing there are others going through something similar who can understand, sympathize, and listen! I can't talk to family and friends and expect them to understand but, the support I have here even though its among strangers is amazing and doesn't compare to the support I have at home. So thank you and everyone else! Btw, praise God, my egd just showed gastritis so they are starting me on protonics and now the dietician is going to be having my meals prepared with unflavored protein powder. If I'm not eating enough in a few days they will put in a picc line to supply me with the nutrients I need until I'm able to eat more. Thanks again!!
