Doing much better today. No pain medicine taken at all. Only thing bothering me is my drain. It comes out next Wednesday. Water still makes me nauseous, so drinking my Protein shake. Happy Halloween :)

bigbeauty78...I definitely didn't do well with Protein yesterday but I left the hospital at 2 and left my drink there and didn't get home till 4. My chocolate drink stayed down but I felt like I was drinking it forever. Today is my first full day at home and I started with Water because of my thyroid meds...but I will start protein about 7:15 I hope I can do pretty good...it is all laid out on the counter. I can't do cold it hurts right now. I hope we both do good with fluids and protein today. Pain is minimal but I can't overdo it.

Glad you made it home. I'm on full liquids now. Starting to feel a bit hungry, thinking it's more of head hunger tho. I'm doing pretty good with eating ice pops. Down 7lbs since surgery on Monday. Good luck!!!!

Bigbeauty78...wow you are on full liquids?? We have 2 weeks clear, 2 weeks full, 2 weeks purees and 2 weeks soft foods. Which means I will lose quite a bit before I go back to work lol I am just now balancing out to my pre-op weight but they said that would happen.

I had 2-3 days clear and now 1 week of full. I was able to drink a Premier Protein shake today. Got in at least 30 grams of Protein. The doctor had me drinking Clear Liquids the day of my surgery, after my swallow test looked good. Hang in there friend!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
