How do you guys feel? Are u able to get all your protein in and liquids? What about your pill form prescription meds? I'm doing OK but I'm not able to get all my protein and liquids in. I get sort of a full felling.

Hey... I got sleeved as well on August 31st... I can't seem to get my recommended 75 grams of protein in but i get about 65 grams in. I manage about 64 oz of regular liquids in but I'm having trouble swallowing, it seems as while I'm swallowing my liquid I'm swallowing a burp and it hurts going down. I think it's because I'm either swallowing to fast or I'm sitting in bed while I'm drinking. But even if i try drinking while standing I'm still having the same problem just not as bad... Idk. I'm doing very good other than that. I took the bandages off, just left with the steri strips now. I don't use the pain meds as much and getting out of bed isn't such a hassle today. I still walk with a little hunch back due to the pain in the stitches but not as bad as yesterday... So slowly but surely I'm getting there

I was sleeved on the 31st also. Doing much better today. I got out a bit yesterday and today, require very little pain meds and agree, getting up isn't nearly the beating it was just 48 hours ago! I did manage to get 33gms of protein in today but only about 32 oz of fluids. I need to work on that!

Thank you guys so much for replying! I'm able to do about 15-20 min of walking daily... I would say I get about 30-40 grams of protein (71 is recommended) and only about 16- 20oz of water ???? terrible I know. But it's improving! Seems like the pain starts right when I wake up so that's when I take my meds which is quite uncomfortable to take.. Then the rest of the day I'm good!

Hi, I was sleeved on August 31st too. My doc wants me to focus on staying hydrated-48-64 oz of fluid per day. I'm slowly adding protein shakes to this. So far, so good. I can't wait to weigh myself!!!

Hey girls!!!! i was also sleeved on August 31st!!!!! Im feeling good just cant eat a lot of protein it makes me gag!!!! but other than that everything is great!!! Email me

Hello Mafe- each day I seem to get more in. I'm getting between 25-35g in. Also with the versatility, I'm getting 40oz of liquids. Congrats to my fellow 8/31 sleevers!!!

I'm 8/31 too, and I am doing just fine. In fact, I was able to drink decent size sips by Friday morning and maybe I got overconfident and drank too much chicken broth too fast last night because I didn't feel so hot. A gas-x strip helped and today I've been taking it more slowly, but I am getting down my Protein drinks with no trouble. I'm probably getting in around 60 oz of liquids so almost there. Sounds like we are all doing relatively well - I'm getting around much better today than a few days ago, and I'm sure we'll all be making steady progress next week. Go us!

Hey is anybody interested in unjury chicken noodle Soup flavored Protein powder... I bought two containers before going into surgery and now after surgery the smell just makes me gag... I really enjoyed it before surgery but i can't even stomach the smell of if... If anybody is interested please let me know and I will ship it to you at no cost... Just send me your information.

It's 20 grams of protein per serving. Mix with 8 oz of Water. Each container has 17 servings. I have a full container and a half full container left and I don't wanna toss it.

I was sleeved on the 31st too! Im not in much pain at all compared to mon-thurs pain. Im starting to drink more liquids, I'm up to 40 0z a day (not enough but trying) and I'm not doing so hot with protein (every one I try, it tastes gross to me) Every other liquid I eat goes down fine. I haven't vomited from anything yet. My only issue is that I have gurgling and gas bubbles all day! Other than that, I feel pretty good! Anybody have any tips so far about the gas bubbles?!

Gas X thin strips are the best!!!!!

Litzy, it's so thoughtful of you to offer that chicken broth! I wish I could jump on that offer, but I can't tolerate chicken broth these days. I really hope it goes to a good home.

Dear Litzy..would like to try the soup..please send to Joseph Simmons 10419 Connerly Rd Dade City Fl 33525 Thanks

@ gigidile thank you but i Just didn't want to toss it out. Rather it go to someone who would enjoy it.

@xlawman... I'm so sorry, someone else already claimed it and it has been shipped

Hi! I was sleeved on 8/31, too. I'm feeling good, not much pain but I am just SO exhausted. I'm getting about 50 grams of Protein a day plus all of my fluids. I have no issues drinking - can swallow almost as well as pre surgery.

I came home on puréeds but mostly just eat soup and Greek yogurt. I feel hungry 5-6 times a day and eat accordingly but haven't taken more than 2-3 tiny bits of anything. Still defending on Protein drinks for energy.

I'm down 15.3 lbs since surgery morning. I tried my long-too-small wedding rings on today and they slid right on!! My first NSV

Congratulations mismatched that's awesome!!!!! Wishing you many many more NSV!!!!
