How is everyone going?

I'm 4days PO GS and luckily have no issues. I'm fatigued more than usual so am having a long afternoon nap and a good night's sleep. I'm down to 2 x OTC pain meds in the morning, a nausea med just in case and a reflux tablet I've been given for the first month. I have Trapantadol too, I've been taking 2 before bed but will likely stop after tonight. No real pain, just discomfort at incision sites. Gas pain is mostly gone.

I ordered a same day delivery body pillow last night and it's great as I'm a side sleeper.

I miss actually eating so am looking forward to the end of the liquid stage, 10 more days.

I'd love to hear from more of you. @Synlee have things improved? What about you @Loot?

Who is on purees? Is that going ok? How much can you eat?

Hi, and congrats.. I'm going on day 6 post op.. and I'm struggling even with pain meds, I still am suffering with extreme pain anytime I try to ingest anything. Even a cap full of Water, doubles me over fir 10 mins... I am lucky if I get 12 oz of liquid in a day, and any type of food or even Protein Shakes are a no... I can feel myself getting weaker. I hope in the coming days it gets better, I don't want a trip yo the ER.. other than that, if I'm not trying to get fluids down, I feel great.

Oh Synlee I'm so sorry. You'll have to go in soon as you'll be rather dehydrated by now. Plus they can run some tests, some kind of scan would be good to see if anything looks not quite right. Remind me what WLS you had? I wish I could make all this disappear for you. I'm hoping Loot chimes in, I saw them post elsewhere with similar issues, you're not alone. Big hugs to you.

Thank you,, I had VGS on the 8th, spent 2 days in hospital because of pain, I never did meet the Fluid requirements for discharge, but they felt I'd do better at home, so that's where I went..

Did anyone else gain weight in the hospital? I went in 301 and when i came home i was 311. I’m back down to 305 now after 2 days but frustrated at the gain. I was on IV for low potassium so i know i had extra hydration but it was a surprise for sure.

Hello, yes. I gained 6# it was all Fluid, that's why they tell you not to look at the scales for awhile. Congrats and good luck.

I definitely gained weight. When I left the hospital, I was still 5 pounds more than before surgery. With all the liquid.s they pumped into me, and being bloated like crazy, it was pretty obvious.

But a week and a half later, I have lost almost 20 pounds from that point, and dropping fast.

Yes! It's pretty normal I think. When I came home 3 days ago I was 149kgs, marginally higher than my final hospital weigh in. This morning I'm 147kg, which equates to 4.4 pounds. Our body is in recovery mode. I was pumped with IV fluids too!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
