I know the struggle is real to get these fluids in.

No stool yet I think I am having a hard time figuring out when I’m full.

Yes, I have been so weak, but I've talked to my surgeon's office and they tell me everything I'm feeling is normal. Just push the fluids.

I know everyone says it's normal. I am so glad we have this website. No stool here yet either. I think I may have gotten a little more in today but I know it's not nearly enough. Wish there was a way to skip time to at least 3 weeks from now!

I agree, I was wishing the same thing, I think we will pull this off though, these posts are helpful.

I was sleeved on the 16th and just got home this afternoon. Fear of internal bleeding kept me in the hospital two days longer than I had expected. Today is also my last day of clear liquids, which the only thing I’ve had since the surgery is water, 1/2 of a SF popsicle, 2 small spoonfuls of broth. Tomorrow I get to switch to full liquids so I’m hoping protein shakes will agree with me. Got about 60oz of water in today, and that is my main focus as of now. Not much pain or discomfort

have any of you had a bowel movement yet?

I was October 12 (8 days ago). I have had four days in a row now with one or two 'fat cigarette' stools each day. Everything Friday to Monday was gas or liquid, mostly gas.

The typical current 8cm-10cm (three to four inch) stool would represent about 15%-20% of the size of my former one giant stool per day.

Hope this was too much information for the squeamish! :-)

I was sleeved on 13th too! How are you feeling?

I’m the 13th as well!!! How’s everyone doing?

60oz is amazing! I don’t think I’ve had 60oz of anything!

Too real. [emoji31]

Had my sleeve one week ago today and feel great. Each day is getting better. I have no problems getting my fluids in, and mixing up my full fluids to keep it interesting with creamed soups, yogurt, etc. Protein shakes are getting easier to tolerate each day as well. On day of surgery, I was 283.1, and this morning I was 266.6! Looking forward to continuing the journey

Congratulations, MG1776!!

How are you feeling @williekins

Been a week for me also. Feeling great but trapped at home; can't drive until follow up on Fri. You're doing great! I'm only down 8 pounds this week. Finally had a bowel movement today. I was starting to think I never would. I'm tolerating full liquids well. Some cramping here and there.

I am doing great but I am so done w/ this liquid diet! Lol I am down 8 lbs. I think I need a new scale w/ BMI and water information. And I need to implement my walking program.
