3 Days Post Op.....

[chris4 7]

I just started Protein shakes today and no more pooping. Surprising the shakes tasted really good to me!

For those having BMs are they loose and oily??? Mine have been like this since I was on the pre-op!

Are you drinking Atkin's shakes? They make me have very loose stools! Any time I'm starting to feel I need to move things along, I have one. Lol. If that's the culprit, you may want to switch Protein shakes.< /p>

Try Amazon. I bought a lot of Protein drinks from there.

No cravings not really hungry an no I don't get nauseous at all I drink lots of shakes an it mushy foods for 2 more weeks. But this has been a little harder for me I Am a OTR truck driver so I am really dependent on what I can find on the rd an what I have in our truck.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and I can't seem to be able to reach my Protein or Water goals either. I walked too much yesterday and when I got home I could barely drink anything and was in a lot of pain. Today I walked for 10 minutes around the block and it took all my strength. Am resting now. I have a huge bruise on my lower left side, sometimes it feels warm too. Has anyone experienced any bruising?

[Micoxv 276]

Hi, I have bruises around the stitches but nothing else. Try to drink and get some Proteins if you don't want to feel weak. I know it is hard but you need to find what you tolerate. Personally I can't do Isopure anymore, but shakes are ok.

I am a week out and everyday is a little improvement. Hang in there.

I had my surgery on the 25th! The pain has subsided well and overall I feel great. It's definitely a challenge getting all the Protein & Water in. I have found that if you heat up the Water it goes down a bit easier.

I am 8 days out. No nausea, not much pain, no BM yet, first visit today. 6 lbs in 1 week - a bit disappointing, but 12 if I count preop. I'm not feeling much restriction at all when I drink. I may get a tiny bit of pressure, but that's it. I'm starting to wonder if I still have my stomach in there. I am allowed greek yogurt this week and oatmeal, but only 2 ounces. No problems eating those. Am I crazy? Did anyone else have such a smooth road the first week and after eating the first small amounts? I'm not ungrateful at all, but just beginning to wonder.

[Shakespeara 1]

Kate, you and I are quite similar. I'm just a week out myself, but I'm having no issue drinking. I'm able to get both my Protein Shakes down a day and 50 oz of Water, which is mind blowing. I wonder if they didn't take out as much as other people, sometimes. I'm up and walking, working from home, but other than some dizziness and lingering aches, I've had a really smooth road too. I'm honestly hungry, even after a Protein Shake, and that's the most worrisome of all!

Oh my goodness....the crying! I'm 6 days post op and I have no pain, can get in a good amount of liquids, but the crying is awful. I don't even feel like myself. Plus I have no patience at all for anything..the dog, the 6 yr old...it's awful. I hope this part of it ends soon.

@@FMoore2004 Keep holding on!

On my 4th day post-op I had multiple crying fits.

It's very frustrating! I had a lot of gas pain and nausea.

I'm now on 9th day post-op and feeling great (lost almost 20 lbs).

My tips:

- sleep well - your body needs rest to heal.

- Listen to your body, as Barry said.

- For me, drinking in really small sips while standing up gave my stomach "room".

- I froze cubes of natural sugar free juice. Best "popsicle" ever.

and finally: cry. let it all out.

A few days ago I felt like stabbing someone. If you need anything, IM me.
