Hello fellow sleevers. I just wanted to say hello and let y'all know a little about myself and hoping this site give me support and pointers I know I will need soon. Thank God everything has been good so far. It has been hard drinking enough liquids and getting the 60mg of protein in but my sleeve hasn't rejected any of the isopure or water. I am tired a lot though, is this normal? We're mid move which involves a lot of walking and packing so this may be why I feel so tired. I have pain sometimes from the incision where my stomach came out of but that's pretty much it. Hope everyone's having a great Sunday!

Congrats and welcome! Protein protein protein! Your new "best friend"! Get in as much as you can, and then some more! Same with liquid, popsicles, whatever you can, you need it. As far as the move goes, be careful! You don't want to end up back in the hospital, and lifting, especially heavy things can put you back there. You have had major surgery, so you will be tired. Give yourself time to heal, and if you're like me and had hiatal surgery at the same time as your sleeve, you shouldn't be doing anything that may harm you. I was told (and it may be just me) not to lift anything over 10 pounds for at least a year, to allow everything to heal properly. If you need a bariatric pal, let me know. Good luck to you!

Thanks @

I was careful not to lift things but did catch myself trying to bend down. So I'm being very cautious now. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It's hard especially with the rest of my family eating take out all weekend. It's been hard but definitely worth it
