I really want to sleep!!! Went to bed at 10:45. Got up at 12:30. Can't go back to sleep. Tried walking, tried pillows, tried I Love Lucy. Not in pain. Don't have gas. Just can't sleep!

Sorry you can't sleep. I have never been a good sleeper. I usually work nights so my schedule stays messed up. Since the surgery (7/22) I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. Like you, no real pain or gas, just wake up:) Right now I have the FBI files on TV and I'm playing on the computer. And of course...sipping water! lol

I just got all my Protein for the day in. I didn't expect to on my second day home. I'm still working on Water though. That's a little harder. It's not that I don't like it' date=' I'm just running out of hours in the day.

I would love a Protein Drink about now. I can't so anything but Clear Liquids until my first post op visit so bummed. I can now feel when I'm hungry vs my mi d just wanting to eat.

Thinking of calling and asking the doctor if I could try my shakes. I don't want to mess anything up. broth and water work well.

Have to have three Protein Drinks a day. I have to mix the powder with water. I can also have Isopure clear Liquid Protein drinks. Monday I start full liquids and can have creamed Soups made with milk (strained) and sugar free pudding. I can make Protein Shakes with milk then, too. I can't wait for Monday. LOL

I can only do clear, I have to meet with the doctor Wednesday then it's on to full liquids. I test drove saltines and it was great two crackers and I felt better. Chewed to oblivion and chased with a swallow of broth. Heaven lol.

I have to say I find it interesting that I can get my fluids in. I sip like crazy. I just use a regular 8oz glass it takes about an hour to empty. The sip bottle got on my nerves plus the top smelled after a while, I scrub it all the time.

I hope I get to start my proteins Wednesday.

I brought zippy cups. I lov it. The only problem is that takes a long time to finish 8oz. Hopefully i will b able to drink like u. I am just afraid that if i drink too much my sleeve is going to open.

My throat has been killing me. I finally thought to look at it and it was covered in white blister like things. And I've had horrible diarrhea all day. I called my doctor and he called in a pill plus a swish and swallow and I already feel a little better. My doctor was so nice too. He called me back in less than 5 minutes on a sat evening, said it was no trouble at all and immediately called in the scrips, then texted me to let me know it was done. Love Dr. Jawad. It is thrush. I can't remember who just said they had thrush, but are you taking something for it?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
