I think it's normal to feel like crap for the first week or two. My surgeons nurse called me today and stressed the importance of getting as much Protein in and fluids. It's ok if you don't hit your goal but must try to get as much in as possible. She also said to make sure I'm taking all my Vitamins. I think getting this drain out will be my turning point next week, I hate it!

Oh good. I am glad it was easy for you. I am looking forward to feeling normal again. I am sick of this thing hanging off me.

It's out! What a strange feeling. So glad it's gone. Starting to feel like a normal person. Hoping your right about the sleeping. I am down 14 pounds! So excited for the future! My back pain is already subsiding.

I guess that's just the way he does things. I guess I was so eager to just get it done and over with I didn't notice that my surgeon or anyone there really told me what to expect before or after surgery. I have learned most of what is normal, what to watch for and such on here.

I did OK coming home the next day but felt like I wasn't set up properly to know what to do or how the first week is. I didn't realize how hard it would be to keep hydrated or the pain in my stomach or the gas!!!!

I feel better everyday but I just feel icky. I don't know how to explain exactly how I feel... Nervous, scared sometimes I regret I did it... But I am trying to learn what works. I walk/pace my living room about 5 to 6 times a day. Usually when I take my meds because they are nasty. I try to drink at least 1 Protein shake a day but failing miserably and trying to drink at least a bottle of Water and a sf Popsicle.

My aunt bought me a shaved ice machine so I am going to try to mix unflavored Protein powder in with my Powerade zero and see if I can get more Protein in that way. I am barely taking in 200 calories right now.

I never gained weight in the hospital. My starting weight was 307, day of surgery 296, and as of this morning ,284. I feel so fatigued and tired that I just wanna sleep but have a hard time sleeping...

Sorry for such a long post.. I just need feedback!!

Wow me and you were on the same page... I couldn't wait to get out of there I was just so ready to leave that hospital, then when I got home I didn't know what to do....
