Doing pretty good.. Getting a little stronger & more energy each day. No pain med needed since first day after leaving hospital. Honestly just sick & tired of BROTH!!!! Sadly' date=' I'll be glad to drink Protein drinks & yogurt (gross!!) -- 2 days left of this clear liquid fun!! Struggle to get required fluids (min 60 oz) each day but trying to drink as much as I can--- down 5 lbs since surgery--[/quote']

I'm so sick of broth too , Water feels really heavy on its own to drink so I'm struggling with that but on a good note I was a mad caffeine 8-10 cups a day person now I am changing back to tea .

I'm just ok. Having a but if a hard time with this whole thing. I have to find something to keep me busy but don't have a ton of energy.

Nawwwww no , just remember you have had major surgery and it will take a while for your body and your mind to adjust . We are all here if you want to ask anything or need advice . I'm on different instructions from my Doc in Australia .... 2 weeks of clear fluids ... It's going to kill me cause I'm so bored of it already but I just challenge myself about how much I will weigh by then . Keep busy x

I am having trouble sleeping also. Can't for the life of me figure out why. I am on Clear liquids also. I tried some Chamomile tea last night & that seemed to help ( i was asleep before midnight so def progress!!) but got woke up early & can't go back to sleep. No caffeine so that's not causing my sleeping issue-- just can't seem to settle down & get to sleep. Weird!

Hi! I was sleeved on June 6th. I went back to work today and definitely over did it. I have a sharp pain on my right side. Hopefully a good night sleep will fix it. Being at work keeps my mind off of the fact that I'm still on clear liquids until Friday : (

I went back to work on Monday as well. I just thought I had regained my strength -- Boy, was I wrong. I was exhausted by the end of the day.

I had a rough start. Tried to get pneumonia right after surgery but antibiotics are a wonderful thing. I went back to work Tuesday but I work in accounting so no heavy lifting. I go to bed a lot earlier than before surgery. sleeping well once I started back to work & got the ok from Primary Care doc that I could use NyQuil for my cough. I'm curious if anyone else is moving into the mushy food stage tomorrow & what they plan to incorporate. I'm craving salty things. I'm sick of aspartame sweetened Snacks. I really want to go to Popeyes & get the red Beans with no rice or the mashed potatoes & gravy. Too soon?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
