Side ache

Does anyone else still have side aches from a revision from the band to sleeve? I'm 10 days out & still feel it once in a while. I'm also so stinkin tired. Not really getting protein & certainly having a tough time getting enough fluids in. Should be 32 oz at this point & I'm barely getting 20oz..



Is anyone else going through this? Anyone?

Just keep sipping ;)

Worst case , contact your surgeons office.

You should be drinking more than 20 oz. I'm 2 weeks out and drinking 64 oz a day. I've been doing this since day 3 or 4. It takes work. You don't want to get dehydrated. That could be why you're so tired.

I still have pain too on the left side but I figure it is not as much pain as having the lapband in. Thank you Jesus!!

I found that adding crystal light energy flavors to my water help me get the water in and they add to the energy too. Who knew! My NP said it was ok, so I am glad I added them.
