With a night like that, it's no wonder you're questioning everything! Get some rest, sweetie. Just think how much better we'll feel in two weeks!

I'm 6 days out and have similar feelings. Reading this thread made me cry. I'm overwhelmed by trying to get all of this Protein down. I'm afraid of the Protein powder so I've been drinking Isopure. I'm not getting enough protein, but I'm doing a little better each day. The schedule of drinking and eating just doesn't make sense to me. In addition, I have work to return to on Monday. My surgery timing was poor as far as work is concerned, but it was either now or November and I didn't want to wait. I don't know how I'll survive doing everything I need to do next week AND keep track of eating and drinking. Anxiety level: HIGH.

In at 5:30 am on Thursday, Sept. 9th, out at 1:30 pm on Friday, Sept. 10. This was what I expected.

I was told during the clear liquid and full liquid stages, as long as they are no sugar added fruit juices (and if cranberry, diet cranberry) I could have them. Considering that I consumed about 12 oz yesterday and two 4 oz sf jello cups in total for the day, I don't think I have to worry about the calories yet. Today, I'm really trying to work on this giant Isopur, which has 40 grams of protein, but it's slow going. I thought I'd be much better at this. But I have not lost my determination, determined1!

So I can have clam chowder in post-op full liquid stage if I liquify it?

My boss had the surgery in July, and she also had a hernia repair. It was noticed in the pre-op upper GI.

determined1, today I've had 2 4 oz cups of sf jello, 4 oz of fruit juice, and 2 oz. of broth. I had much less yesterday. I know I need to take in more, and I'm working on it.

I was sleeved on Thursday, Sept. 9th, as well. I'm feeling very good today, and more confident about having done this. But I haven't lost weight yet, and that is discouraging. In fact, I weigh more than I did on the day of surgery. How is that possible, when I've barely ingested any calories? My husband says it's probably swelling and stuff from the surgery, but determined1 has lost 10 pounds! (Is there a forum for telling you how to get your ticker into your posts?)

I am trying to do better today. Yes, let's keep in touch. I need to make a weight loss ticker!

I am two days out and still at the "What have I done?" stage. Feeling very anxious.

I got sleeved on Thursday also. I'm feeling a little anxious, as I am not taking in the amount of liquids suggested. It took me five hours to do four ounces yesterday.
