Dr. Marsden did mine. Great overall experience.

Fassidcc4- I had my surgery same date as you. Why oh why am i hungry ???

thank you so much ! Likewise ! dcaramonta@gmail.com. Take care and becareful in Mexico

OK 4 days post-op, haven't lost a pound !!! Angry and frustrated !!!! Anyone ? Help?

You need some protein. I went and go some liquid protein from Walmart, it isn't top quality but it helps.Mix it with some water . Rest, take your meds , or try not taking your meds, that could be doing it to you too. Are you walking at all ? I am 4 days post op and am doing well. I felt like you do for three days and once I got some liquid protein I felt MUCH better. Hope it helps and I hope you do better !!!! Huggs

I hope so ! The pre-op phase of my surgery I found easier than the post-op phase. I am soo excited for you ! I can't wait to be here for you throughout your journey too ! Thanks for such positive support !!! Where are you having your surgery done ?

Hi Lbeauty, Who is doing your surgery? I am 4 days post-op. So far a few frustrations but otherwise A OK !!!!

Hi, Just had mine done March 28th...!!!! 4 days post-op. Surgeon was Dr. Marsden and I had my surgery at Baylor Trophy Club Medical Center. Who is your surgeon ?

You look awesome ! Congratulations

Thanks, that helps and makes sense !! I do admit I had about 2 oz of coffee this morning at room temp. How come they want us to walk but when it's difficult to get protein in you have no energy ?! Geesh

Congratulations ! I know exactly how that feels, 200 has been haunting me for years, literally, I kept telling myself if I could JUST get under 200 I would have won the war. I too hope I won't be that mean to myself. I am 4 days post op and still in the dreaded 200's. I did lose 10 lbs pre-op so that helped. Kee on truckin, everyday will be a new victory for us !

I'm doing the same thing !! I don't understand the clear liquids for so long. I want to chew !!! grrrr or have something with some sort of substance to it !!

OMG poor thing, I am so sorry for you complications. I pray you get better soon !!!!

Hi Lisa ! I was sleeved the same day ..Liquids are difficult still for me. I am actually going to get up and out of the house briefly today in search of some better clear Protein and sf drink mix. What I have doesn't ;like me so far .. I feel super weak because I am not getting in protein. I did make a Protein shake yesterday and sipped on it throughout the day to get something in. I have pain still and pain when I drink sometimes and find it easier to drink sitting up straight or even standing ! strange I know. You can do this, we can do this ! Just breathe walk and sip ! And take an occassional nap !!!!

Thank you so much ! I am going to go find myself some different protein today. All I have is protein shake protein powder.

Thank goodness! I am having the same issues and I am 3 days post-op. COnfused about how to get in protein when I have to be on clear liquids ? The only protein I have is from pre-op when I drank protein shakes w the powder. I am sipping constantly and I actually think I feel hungry or it could be gas,I have no idea how to distinguish. When I do drink, every other sip seems to case some pain temporarily and I have gurgling...maybe I need something heavier ?Feeling weak and tire easily. I also feel like if I don't sit up straight it bothers me, as in some pain when I drink.....does any of this make sense? I welcome all help and comments :0)

Awesome !! Keep on goin!.....

Hi Everyone, I'm new here to the forum.I am 2 days post vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Is it supposed to hurt a little when I drink. I try sipping slowly and am I supposed to feel hungry ? Also, I was told to wait a week before Protein is added to my diet, is this right ?

I was sleeved this Wednesday. 2 days post-op and trying to figure things out. Almost every time I sip when it hits my belly it gurgles with occassional pain. I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until I could hold down Water every 15mins for 4 hours ! I guess that was a blessing to me so I knew how to start taking fluids. Today is the first day drinking on my own. I have such conflicting paperwork on whether or not I should have a Protein Shake. The hospital told me to wait until the latter end of 7 days to drink one, I have paperwork I got from the doc that says I must have Protein daily. Right now, I am really scared. I WANT to taste real food on my lips but I know I can't.I can't tell if I'm hungry and I have no idea how much Fluid I have consumed today. Can someone help me with a "plan". I'm walking a little around the house every hourish or so. I think most of my gas is gone. Any ideas and advice are welcomed !!!

Thanks for that advice ! It does hurt occassionally when the liquid hits the belly. Normal?

I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein shakes yet right ? I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein Shakes yet right ?
