I'm now 5 Days Post Op. Day 1 and 2 were really rough but since it's been fine. I'm so happy I went for it. I've been home from the hospital for 2 nights and gotten 30oz-40oz of Water down so far per day.

I've had 1 chocolate Premier Protein, got all 11oz down in about 30mins. I felt so full after its crazy! I've never felt full before in my life Hahahaha I had chicken broth with 20g of Protein last night, after 8oz I was stuffed.

What a great tool this is! The only bad part right now is I keep coughing which hurts so bad I'm still sore ouch!

After both c-sections, I had to use a pillow when I coughed. Or laughed. Or sneezed. I would gently press it against my abdomen during the cough and it cut the pain down about 60%.

@@tonwinton, how are you getting your Protein in? I am almost two months post-op and still struggle, so any info you are willing to share would be helpful.

I have been blessed to be able to get all Protein in. I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day. I have had a smooth recovery period. I sip all day on Water and protein shakes. I mix my protein shakes with Unjury unflavored Protein Powder for added protein. Nothing special, I'm one of the blessed ones whose new tummy is friendly at this time. I'm 4 days post op and still on liquids. Hope my tummy agrees when I move to the next stage of food texture.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
