I'm 6 days post op and I keep finding myself grazing all day. I take a sip (literally a small tiny sip) then dash away. 5 minuets later I take another. Then repeat.

Is that normal? Should I be sitting down and measuring and monitoring each and every gulp? The funny part is although I'm on all liquids (I was on clear until my md cleared me today for full liquid) I still feel so naughty doing this sip & dash dance.

6 days post op? You can definitely SIP and come back and SIP :)

Liquids are not filling so you can help keep yourself hydrated this way!!

.now when you start foods, you will need to make a set time to eat :)

Since you are so early out still monitor your amounts..Make sure your only doing an ounce every 15 minutes.

Since your coming and going, use a medicine cup that measures an ounce and check the clock :)

I really think your fine but its good to be safe :)

The surgery definitely changed my sleep clock...I stay up late and wake earlier than I wished!!

Lots of nights I just have insomnia.

It is very strange!

You are not alone then. I'm tired of counting sheep! This surgery must do something to the melatonin levels or whatever.

Nope you're not alone.

My question is: where are all the "sleep specialists" now? They want to sell you some over priced machine to make you look like a fighter pilot in bed. They cram this sleep apnea crap down our throats but what about this new found, post op insomnia?

Who's going to sing me to sleep now?!? (Yelling) SHOW ME HOW TO SLEEP AAAAGGHAAAIIINNNN!!!

(Just kidding....I really need a nap!)

      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!!
