I slept in my bed, used extra pillows. Kingsize or body pillow to use as protection I hugged onto it slept comfortable.

still having trouble figuring out this forum on my iPad, but this post I was referring to the post about sleeping at home after surgery.
Hi Cookies, how r u feeling? We r almost a week out? Have u weight yourself?
I'm feeling good just itchy I have the steri-strips off tomorrow. Started stage 2 today Vitamins, Protein baby food and yogurt... My scale may be off a little but today from date of surgery about 7lbs down. How are you doing? I'm glad haven't gotten sick at all and drinking plenty of Water.
That's great good job. I've lost about 9.2 lbs. try Benadryl for the itchy. I was Severely dehydrated up In till sat. It was Horrible but I'm all better now. We must have different Stages. every dr is different. Cause I'm able to eat Soups and such blended in a blinder. My sister made chili and I Blended it with beef stock. Then put it in ice cube trays. Pop two out and there is my ounce of food. I'm glad ur doing good I go see my dr next wed. Keep in touch :)

Good, I'm so glad you're well....keep me informed. I'm pretty much the same. Gotta get this dinner down. It's not hard, but these gas pains are more of a pain in the ass lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
