Hello, New To Site... 6 Days Post Op Band To Sleeve

[blondiewitgoalz27 1]

Hello here from Dallas/ Fort Worth, I was told about this site from a good friend of mine. I'm six days out still very sore and seems to be sharp gas pains anytime I drink more than a few sips.. Normal?? Also, how are you guys getting all the fluids in? Any Vitamins you recommend over others? I was told a chewable multi and b-12 for under tounge... I'm sorry I'm rambling I think cabin fever is surely starting to kick in... Thanks

I live in Dallas. Today is day 5 for me. Just got out of the hospital yesterday. I stayed a little longer because of spasm in the esophagus. Feeling great now.

I like Ungury everything. Their Vitamins and Protein powder.

Today was the first day I could get in all my liquid. And only drank one and a half shake. It was an all day task. Sip sip sip.

I don't go back to work till the first week in December. I don't really know how that will work but will make do somehow.

I feel amazing so I have the tendency to over do. Need to rest more.

Can't wait till I can eat meat!

Wish you the best. T

I'm in Dallas also. Dr Jeffrey Henke did my sleeve a week ago - Wed 11/13. He's in practice with Dr. Joseph Kuhn, who is better known. I haven't had any difficulty getting my Water / Protein in since post op day 2. I'm going back to work tomorrow.

The Vitamins I like are from CelebrateVitamins.com, and the Protein shakes I like best - actually, the only ones I can stand - are Premier Protein chocolate. I actually like them!

Welcome to the group! Everyone has been VERY supportive, and very helpful.
