I haven't been on this forum long and mostly lurk, but I know there were a few who had surgery on 4/12.

Mine went well and I got discharged late yesterday. It was great to sleep in my own bed!

How is everyone doing who had their surgery this week?

I had mine on Monday and I am having a problem getting all the water and protein in [emoji30].

When I drink it feels like it’s getting stuck and then the feeling dissipates. But it doesn’t encourage me to take another sip. I’m hoping it will get better.

Sleeping is an issue as well but that’s for mother day. Lol. Hope you are well

a lot of people line up 4 little 2oz medicine cups up and drinking one every 15 minutes. Remember you're getting fluid in your protein shakes and sugar free popsicles. Change the temperature if you don't like room temp water, go with warm herbal or green tea, if you like cool keep it chilled in the fridge and pour out just what you need every 15 minutes. I would tell you to add stevia but,maybe you're also battling a sugar addiction. Try Crystal lite or Mio drops. Everything still seem too sweet? I've heard posters say that even water tastes sweet, try one of the citrus like lemon or lime, just a couple drops of either if they are the real thing, no Realemon, that stuff is nasty. One lady even put a little cucumber slice in her bottle of water., you could do that with a lime or lemon slice, you could even do,it with a segment of grapefruit. I'm not personally,a fan of grapefruit, it is a diuretic,and it was hard to celebrate the water loss when you are constantly relieving yourself. ?

Congrats!

I hope things get better for you soon. I'm lining up little cups to get my fluids in I'm walking loops in my house during the commercials on tv---helps with the gas, which will help with getting clearer "full" signals.

I was sleeved on 4/10. I'm feeling pretty good i have a Minor back ache from sleeping on it. I've never been a back sleeper and a pulled muscle feeling on my lower right side because i prop myself up on my elbow on that side to get up out of bed. Sleep hasn't been the best lol. Lots of. Walking and sipping. The protien shakes are so hard to get in they make me gag so I've been adding protien powder to my broth and i have proven water. Congrats on making it to the bench!!!

I had my sleeve on April 12th as well. Discharged the 13th. Pain is manageable but I feel hungry! I’m drinking as much as I can but it’s hard to just sip. Sick of the protein broths. Passing a lot of gas. Also I am very tired. Hope you are well.

All of you gals and guys, get well, heal smoothly and stay with us for a long time?

The gas is no joke! Getting tired of my noisy tummy, too. I've heard that this part lasts 3-5 days, so hopefully we're nearing the end of it!

congratulations!!!
