I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

I should have cold here first. Yes. I am off pain meds and unable to sleep. Maybe 3 hours a night if I'm lucky. I'm also having the same issue with protein and calorie intake. Less than 300 cals a day and around 50-60 pro. I feel terrible.

I'm gonna talk to my surgeon on Monday about it. Hopefully he can prescribe something. How can I heal if I can't sleep?!

I'm opposite. I'm sleeping a lot. I think it's from so few calories. I have no energy.

I thought that would be the case but it's the opposite. Like right now i feel like it have so much energy and I haven't even had anything besides water, apple juice and tea (was flying home all day and now on the train from the airport). I feel hungry and thirsty but not tired! Only had 2 hrs of sleep last night.

I'm officially in the system!

Wahoo!

I was that way up until four nights ago.

Is it weird that I just finished a whole bottle of water (16.9 fl oz) in an hour

No. I can do that now. Just had to work up to it.

I'm 8 days out, and I drank a protein drink (8 ounces) in about a half hour 45 min today. I also drank maybe a quarter of a 32 ounce bottle of gaterade in a few minutes last night. It was like overnight that I can get a bit more liquids in faster. I can't guzzle, but I can definitely drink water/gaterade almost like I could before surgery. I've been freaking out about it the last 24 hours, but from all the frantic searching I've done, it's normal.

Can I ask a question about poop? I'm 2 weeks out today and in general feel really well, went back to work two days ago and have started on soft foods but I am having one problem. Gas and poop. Lots of gas in my intestines and my poop is gross. Like really, really gross. I'm sorry to be so personal but is this normal? It stinks horribly and is like sludge. I mean it sticks to the toilet like glue. I am so skeeved! Can someone please tell me this is normal and will get better? It has been like this before I started on foods so I know that isn't the trigger

I'm only 8 days out, but it's the same for me. Stinky, and sticks to the toilet when it isn't liquid with sand like sediment in it. I've really only had 2 poops that have had enough substance to stick to the toilet. But man if it doesn't stink bad/weird.

I am 8 days out... Lost 15 pounds. I still have horrible gas pains and I cannot sleep. I only sleep for three hours a night. I was just told I could eat soft foods today. It's still taking me time to drink a 14oz protein drink. Also, I was told I am in ketosis horrible breath. Today at the doctor they gave me this website to help me create meals. http://www.bariatriceating.com

I'm not two weeks out yet. In the last week my water and protein intake has increased tremendously.

Thanks for the site suggestion. I'm sorry to hear you still have gas pains. Those are the worst! I also have the awful breath and notice the smell of everyone else's breath. Gross!
