Howdy, sleeved on election day, consider myself doing very well. Dr prescribed full liquids but I have had mashed potatoes twice and only a tablespoon or so. The weight is dropping off....its insane. I am not eating enough calories, about 400-500 and getting anywhere from 50-70 grams of Protein. Drinking about 55-60 oz of Water.

I have been off pain meds of 2 full days. Headaches are gone, walking like a mad women, even went to a huge craft show at the local high school. Cooking and light cleaning.....thinking of returning to work later this week.

I do still have pain at the larger incision site. Just today I noticed some scabbing came off and I have a small raw area...cleaned it good and covered it up.

lets compare.....

Hi Kim and Election Day Sleevers,

I am a Nov 6- Election Day Sleever. I have not been on any pain meds, During my hospital stay the general anesthesia and pain meds were making me throw up and I have no belly pain at all. The day I was to come home I was able to keep down liquids. I hate anything cold i can only tolerate warm and hot fluids. I hate anything with a fruity taste. Everything I like prior to sugar I can't stand. I was a sweets eater and even some sugar free products are to much for me. I love chicken broth with a little bit of seasoning.

I am shocked you tried mash potatoes...I tried unsweetened applesauce with my vitamins and it felt like razors in my stomach. I can not tolerate any dairy at all...

I am planning on going back to work maybe the week of Thanksgiving. I only do minor cleaning at my home which is not normally the case. ( Before I went in for surgery I did a super major clean).

I found 2 protein shakes I like and plan on trying new recipes with them so I don't get bored with the taste.

My bandages came off and the scabs are so itchy but I am done 16lbs and every morning when I wake up it feels like Christmas. The first thing I do is look in my full length mirror then weigh myself. I hope by the end of November I am in the 100's and can begin to tone my body.

God Bless you with your journey!

Election day sleever im good walked on treadmill at the gym was fine getting my fluids yeah....

Yay you!..I am Nov 7th..doing good drinking broth and protien..faience 12 happy as can be!

I am an Election Day sleeved too. I am doing good. Not getting in enough Protein or Water yet but still trying. Still have some incision pain in my belly button but it gets better day by day. I was surprised to see many of you at the gym already. I am a mother of 3 and can barely stay awake long enough for the kids bedtime.

Is anyone else suffering from headaches? These are the same type of headaches I use to get when I drank caffeine but I haven't done that for years now. Only issues I am having are tiredness, incision pain, and not enough protein yet.

No headaches but my sleep schedule is off. I sleep late wake up early and have a lot of energy. Try decaf products see how that works for the headache
