Thanks. Wasn't easy, but I stuck to what I could.

Went to sleep about 10pm. Had a very VIVID dream. Almost nightmarish, that I sent my 4 year old to school in a diaper with no pants on. (She hasn't worn diapers in years!). I told her I'd go get her pants from the house and I couldn't find my car. I couldn't remember if I drive the truck or the sedan. Then my dad, who happened to be an old version of Lebron james, came to the school on an old Kawasaki motorcycle, told me that I left the truck at the house, so I must have driven the sedan. Couldn't find my Avalon, and I realized I left my key and my wallet in the car. Then had to report it stolen, cancel credit cards, etc.

it was awful.

Ok, so I woke up at 4:30 this morning. Forced myself to go back to sleep. Alarm went off at 6am. I had a hard time rolling out of bed! Went to the restroom, and I was pretty happy to get a toot out. Just means my system is getting back together to me. Brushed my teeth and walked to the living room, I was soooo nauseous! Took a nausea med. about to take my omeprazole, and hydrocone. Oh, and one multi vitamin and b12.....my breakfast. Lol. Back hurts from laying in the same spot all night.

once these meds kick in, I'm a walking....

I had a good night, but I was up every two hours to pee. I took advantage of that and sipped on my Gatorade active water ... lol I see a new normal for me at night. I didn't take a pain pill before I fell asleep and ended up taking one around 2:30 because I was a little sore. I am a side sleeper so I rolled on my side and now my one incision is a little tender.

I was wide awake at 5:00am so I decided to just go ahead and get up. I am working on taking my meds. and then I will get a shower and walk around the hotel. I am looking forward to a cup of decaf coffee. My goal for today is to hit 36 oz of fluids or more if I can. I am feeling better everyday.

I don't know how much I've been drinking. Plenty though. But I even forgot I had surgery for a split second when I took a gulp of Water. Went down fine, but went back to sipping. Definitely nothing ice cold. Sorry you're unable to keep it down. Keep trying though.

Hi all, everyday i read the posts and all are definitely in my prayers and thoughts. For a person who isn't active before surgery it sure took a toll on my body. Meds i normally have been changed to some degree so that takes getting used to and my headaches are getting better. Yesterday, i wiped myself out trying to build rome in a day. From 11:45pm to 2am, i ran to the bathroom almost dumping reading articles bout dehydration and headaches. Thank God a wet towel warm shower stopped me from dumping. Im ok this morning will take it slow but i am going to meet my goals just slow down and stop trying build rome in one day.

I wanted my decaf so bad this morning but couldn't get it. My coffee maker is on the floor!!! Kitchen is still in disarray with the renovation. So, I'll have to get my husband to fix me one this evening, and tomorrow morning for sure! Hope you enjoyed it. I've heard of folks not liking it afterwards. I sure hope that won't be the case for me. I love coffee.

Oh hon, take it easy. I'm sure you will after yesterday! How are you feeling today? Headache gone?

I think after tomorrow, I'm going to attempt Tylenol only. Been doing my little walks today. Last one wiped me out, I didn't get far. I've had a nap this morning and will have another shortly here. Hot chicken broth is the best for my stomach. Water is fine, I make sure it's room temp. Sf jello does not agree. Gives me cramps and the stuck feeling in my throat, even if I let it melt all the way in my mouth. Better than yesterday though, so all is well. ?

And still sipping on the same protein drink from yesterday!

Today was a much better day for me...was able to get down chicken broth and sf jello in addition to water so really happy about that. I do have sinus pain today so the headache is bad but other than that I fee pretty good!

I'm so happy to hear you're doing better!!! I was worried about you not getting your liquids in. Seems like everyone is getting better day by day. For that, I'm thankful and happy for us all! ?

Hi Everyone! Congrats to you all! I just had my sleeve surgery on Monday, May 15. I'm feeling better every day but have a few issues. Has anyone else had pain in the chest radiating to your shoulders and back pain? Im also running a very, very mild fever every once in a while. It kind of comes and goes. Liquid diet is fine. but i will throw up if i lay down without releasing the gas right after drinking. Just ALOT of gas and walking to release the bubbles. having trouble getting that 60 grams of protein in each day. Anyway, is anyone else feeling this way?
