I don't think I've had 1 day where I've gotten in enough liquids. It's really hard. But I have had several days where I've gotten plenty of Protein.

I walk almost every day, but still pretty low energy 3-weeks post op.

And if it's ok, I'd like to be an honorary member of this sleeve buddy club since I don't have one.

My lap-band to gastric sleeve revision surgery was on November 20th. I had to do a 2-week pre-op diet consisting of mostly Protein liquids along with a salad each day. Everything went great with surgery besides having a seizure at the hospital!!!

I had constant nausea the entire first week after surgery, but it's better now. I also try to walk every day even though I still don't have very much energy.

My biggest craves, believe it or not, are apples, bananas, tuna, and pizza. 3 out of 4 ain't bad I guess. Lol.

I am now 3 weeks post op and have lost 30 pounds. It's a decent start, but I still have a long way to go.

Good luck to everyone!!!

I'm on day 5. I am able to get all my liquids and Protein in so far. I have not experienced nausea just stomach spasms. I did call the doctor's office about this because its painful. I was told it was perfectly normal and its caused by the hernia repair. She said once the swelling goes down the spasms should subside. I really hope this is the case, even though I'm getting my liquids in, it freaking painful. I just had hubby take my ON-Q out so now I have something else to obsess about - when the meds wear off what will my level of pain be? Yep, I'm completely nuts. I'm do beginner exercises daily, trying not to push myself too hard, no setbacks!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well!

would be good to speak with a doctor.

drink lots of fluids, walk as often as you can but dont pressure yourself and stop if you have pain. try to breath deeply.

I haven't been getting enough fluids. I am trying though. I am walking and getting my Protein in. I think it is possible that while in Mexico my husband got sick the same day as my surgery and I was running on adrenaline. Now I am back to resting my body is letting me feel what all it has been through.

So how is everyone this week???

I'm doing pretty good. I will be 4 weeks post-op on Friday and have lost about 34 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. Close to 6 lbs a week so far.

I'm still struggling to get enough liquids, Protein, and calories. I'm hovering around 450 calories per day.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
