They already took my iv out less then 24hours

Awesome. At this time last week they were fighting to get a iv in my hand when i flat out said my veins roll and blow and not to use it. 10 mins later in was in my forearm. Today i feel even better. Still got some Water edema.

Good luck! Keep us posted! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I am finally home. I had lots of pain from the gas for the first 2 days, so I did a lot of walking. I couldn't rest at night. This is day 3 and I am much better. My hubby has been a godsend. It's kind of hard getting the liquid down, but I guess my body is still adjusting.

I can't wait to join the rest of you on the losers bench! The 30th can't come soon enough. I have finally got control of this liquid diet. I do, however, find it quite curious how some doctors have you do a 2-week and others only do a 2-3 day diet, and some don't have to do one at all. I wonder what causes those preferences in each doctor.

I agree, also, post-op diets are different per each doctor as well. You would think this type of stuff would be universal after the amount of research that has gone into these surgeries . Makes you wonder...

About to head out to my pre-op appt with my surgeon with list of questions in hand. I'm curious to know what my metabolic test said. Start pre-op diet tomorrow...surgery is Monday! Can't believe it's so close!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
