I had my surgery done this past Monday and was released from the hospital just yesterday. Recovery was delayed in the hospital because of my Dopa Responsive Dystonia and had some Dystonic Storms that freaked everyone out, but finally got home! I am very eager to continue this new journey I am on. Have to say, I know this is new for me, but cannot for the life of me figure out how I can stay hydrated . Looking forward to exploring this app

Congratulations Mellissa, good luck to you!

I had mine 1 day after the 17th. I am still in shock to be honest . I just hope it gets better .

I am still pre-op so I have squat for experience but I have read a lot of comments and that is an issue that comes up again and again. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but the consensus seems to be that you shouldn't sweat it too much. Water is the most important thing and as long as you are trying for protien goals it will happen given time.

I'm 4 weeks post op and I still can't get my Protein or fluids is I had a spot yesterday with my nutrition dr and he said it will get better with time but I have started to challenge myself today and setting goals it is helping plus I found a new Protein shake that is a lot better getting down and taste really good don't worry to much it gets better with time good luck!!!!

I am not scheduled yet kholiette. I have completed all of my preliminary requirements and could have WLS tomorrow if I wanted but I am self pay so I won't have the money ready until early July. Still am undecided on bypass or sleeve. The decision is making my head spin. Are you doing any better today?
