Hi all,

I was just sleeve Monday 11/26. I am 4 days post op and am looking for any advice you can give me. I get so full so easily. I was looking forward to soft queso fresco for lunch that I cut off an oz and left the cheese on the counter CONVINCED I would need to cut off more. I got a little under half way through and even that was pushing it. I am ridiculously full still and I ate this over an hour ago. : ( I love cheese but : ) restriction.

Any advice on how to survive the first few weeks? I am on soft foods and am drinking optimum nutrition 100% soy Protein. My dad is concerned that I am not eating much, he is the one who bought the cheese specifically to encourage me to eat more.

Any advice for Water intake? I can get in about 20 oz and 6 oz protein in a day.

And any advice for walking? I am perhaps lazy but I just do laps in my house and get tired so fast. And I break a sweat so fast as well.

Thanks for the help!!!!

Oh! Vitamin D. I have drops to supplement the upcal d and my multi. You could get pills cheap at a CVS or Walgreens.

Yes it do !!!! I may need to check into that .....ima ask when I go to da doctor Tuesday....Thanks

I am 4days post op also. I work all day to get in Water. I know I am still not getting enough water in yet. I haven't had a bowel movement and can only take a couple sips at a time. My surgeon said that I will hate him now but love him later because he makes a tighter sleeve than most. He said my stomach is only the size of my pointer finger. I am more worried about getting my water in for now so I don't get dehydrated. I will worry about more Protein later. Too bad no one has come out with a Chettos flavored Protein shake. I am already tired of the variety of sweet shakes out there.

That was my worry, I'm 4 days out also. Just keep sipping and as long as your urinating your ok. If that stops that call your doctor. Do what u can it will get better.

Try a heating pad on your stomach for the gas! And don't worry' date=' I am 4 weeks post op today, you can start to get a feel for what you can eat and drink as the days go one.[/quote']

Oooooowe!!! The heating pad is a winner!! Thanks!!!!

I was under the assumption that I could not take anything else.

No no, you should be on something like that. My surgeon wrote me a 3 month script for Nexium and I was also told to suppliment that with Zergreid. Get with your surgeon or PCP and start working that. you'll feel much better.

Do they come in liquid form.

Not 100% sure, but both are really really small. Haven't had a problem getting them down at all. You can get Zergrid, OTC and it's tiny too.
