Good luck Kellie!

I don't feel hungry but I dream about food! Been feeling a whole lot better. It's day four and I'm still in hospital as I couldn't hold anything down.

I also gained 7 pounds after surgery.postop 3 days. I now dropped 3 lbs 5 days postop. How is it possible drinking fluids and I can't even drink them all!?

I am hearing you I constantly feel like I am sticking stuff in my mouth.. I keep a sipper bottle with me but boy oh boy it's hard. I don't get the full amount that's for sure

Well I am finally home!!

Sleeved on Thursday , tad bit and have had my "crazy pain moments" but hey it can only get better. Still have a little gas pain but getting better.

Can't wait to sleep tonight I can tell you.

Fainted today. I guess my body is having a hard time coping.

Welcome Stacey, how are you going?

I'm still in hospital hopefully I'll be allowed home today. Just taking one day at a time

I am 5 days post op today. I had a bit of anxiety because I'm struggling to get my protein in and I'm feeling very weak. I'm going to try mixing my shakes with water and having a cup of tomato soup made with milk and some v8 juice to get some vitamins in. See if that makes me feel better. I know this is a normal reaction to this phase but it's not something I prepared for.

I just actually spoke to my surgeon about the same thing, you can actually buy protein that's not like a powder and used in water. The name slips my head but I am going to the sports and diet shop to get some this week. I will add this to my fluids

I hope you are feeling better soo
