Way to go NEWBIE

Hi, I'm 3 days out and feel great. I'm only doing protein and water. Mr doctor Saud the get my protein in before other things. Came home yesterday and went trick or treating with my daughter. The key for me is move, move,move.

I Also was sleeved on Monday! I am alternating between sipping Water, broth, and Protein shake...I haven't been able to get my goal of either but sip, sip, sip the whole time I am awake. I have yet to have a BM but know that I haven't had anything to poo out! I have not had any pain Meds since surgery, so am doing good--I do have a bit of gas pain in my shoulders still...does anyone else? It also hurts a bit to drink from the gas, but I am doing it anyhow!

Can't wait to feel somewhat normal! Have no desire for food though so that is nice...

Hi, I hope your feeling well. I can not seem to get all if my protein in. I haven't tried anything put protein and water. Let's keep in touch.

My doc said for 3 days try broth chicken or beef (I got wylers cubes put in cup of water heat up good to go, popcycles until Sunday then I add protein. It had taken me till right now to figure how to sip so no air comes in. It is different I take my meds every 4 hrs pain or no pain so I can sleep get my body healing. My doc said for the first couple of days take meds. I take gas x and previcid it helps. It will get better. Good luck

Glad to hear your surgery and recovery are going well. Look forward to hearing of your triumphs.

Any advice, I CAN NOT tolerate the protein shakrs, I do good with them in the hosp, but now they make me want to vomit. Thankfully, I haven't. Please help, I was sleeved on Tuesday. I feel great otherwise.

Gsu u may want to try broth SF popcycles and water sip sip sip. It truly is challenging and time consumming. I am glad I don't hve to go right back to work, I still need to regain my strength, jst keep going each day wb better. Good luck we must encourage each other stay in touch. If anyone wants to send me a message do so I am here to support anyone on this journey forgive my spelling

Congrats!!!
