Just arrived home. Doing really well. Had a meticulous surgeon and an uneventful surgery....just what you want with this procedure. Good luck to all the other January sleevers!

Congrats!

So happy to hear that everything went well!

Me too! Sleeved on the 30th and home today. Praying for a much better night sleep than the two nights I the hospital.

Well rox...how was your night? I began by trying to sleep on my right side like the vets post here that sometimes works with a pillow wedged a little under my stomach.... Absolutely no go. Switched to back with knees elevated a bit. Slapt about two hours then needed to put a pile of pillows under shoulders to mimic the hospital bed upward tilt so made it another two hours. Finally got up at 2am and dozwed off and on in a recliner until now. Probably not a bad idea since i sipped a little g2 and made a loop or two around my house inbetween naps. Hope yours went much better than mine. Hoping for a nice nap today and a better night tonight. I think it is a big adjustment going from those great IV meds to the home routine so trying to be patient and remember it is only day 3 major surgery post op!

Thanks scsleever and holly for your well wishes. So far it is working. I am sooooo happy!

Congrats to moregoodtimes and roxannez! Glad to hear you are both doing well.

As for the sleep, it got better every night for me, and by about a week out, I was sleeping fairly well. Good plan to take advantage of the awake time to drink a little and move a little.

Thanks all, sleep was a ******. I went to bed completely exhausted at 10 p.m. and then woke up at 2am like it was morning... I paced around my house for about an hour and probably fell asleep closer to 4 and then was up again at 6 a.m.. It's not yet noon and I've had 30gm protein, a multi and 26oz water. So really things are getting easier. Oh, I'm also burping like a frat boy, non-stop, so hoping that'll subside soon.

Congrats. I was also sleeved on the 30th. Sleeping has been an adventure but it's been getting better. The gas has been crazy but walking helps out a lot. I think I'm burning a hole in the rug in my living room.

Sleeved also on Jan 30, we all seem to be waking the floor in early morning I also waking up burping please let me know this gets better

Congrats! I was also sleeved on the 30th and mine was also uneventful! Thank Goodness. I wish everyone luck!

Cory and rox.... It took me a couple of days but have a good routine down. To get as close to goals of 60+ fluid, about 90 prot and above 30 carb, i have to do milk mixed shakes for the fat and carbs. I then do g2 the rest of the time. I do not burp unless my sip is too big or too often so i cut back to using my shot glass 1oz measuring glass and pour into it. I keep to one ounce every 15 min and only 4 oz per hour. If i eat broth, i wake up with heartburn so no more for now. I do my shake at the 3 usual meal times and g2 the rest of the awake hours so that i go to sleep with only g2 in there. I slept really well on my right side with a pillow tucked under tummy for support every night but the two i had broth. Saw doc today and was not dehydrated so will continue with this plan for now. My one prilosec seems to be working fine unless i eat that broth. Good luck...hope the burping stops and sleep improves. Stay in touch.

Hi cara and lifetime... Wow..we have a nice little 30th group! Cool! Hope you both are doing well. If you saw my earlier post you will see what is working for me now... But who knows..may have to change it up tomorrow! I really hope you guys are doing well. Isnt this exciting!?!

You have a good system going I need to have a routine I can drink more than 4 oz per hour I go to the Dr on Wednesday when I get nervous my mind can't seem remember things I am getting in 65 or more grams of protein per day so I'll have a shake for breakfast yogurt lunch 1/2 cup of f.f. cream soup dinner and shake in the evening . I hope I am,not over indulging.

How you feeling how's everything going for you any new tips?

Hi cara! Still feeling really great physically. I have followed my plan to a tee but am not seeing much change on the scale yet. I am however wearing clothes i could not fit into before surgery so i know things are shuffling around. I am still positive and know it takes time after surgery for the body to clear out the fluids. I also had another surgery just another month before this one so have the deck stacked against me ...but only for now. There is no way to not loose so i know it will happen. I am really enjoying the time off and am sleeping like a baby ....plus taking an afternoon nap! ....just amazing! I went to a support group meeting last night so it was good to get out and go some. I am back to pushing the fluids and not thinking about food choices yet. So far shakes, Isopure, unjury chicken, g2, etc are keeping me satisfied. I wish i was not so fixated on the scale but have always been a daily weigher. So how are you? I so glad you checked in! I keep thinking about how wonderful our summer is going to be!
