i am 3 weeks post op, but struggling so much. I went to the dr. today and got sent to hospitsl for endoscopy labs and IV fluids and vitamins.I am gagging down the protein. How much protein do you have to take now that you will be eating more variety of foods now?

Hi there, I just wanted to say hello because I am going thru what you are in a lot of ways. My sleeve was Nov. 6th. I am 3 weeks exactly post. I had a 2nd surgery the day after for internal bleeding/hematoma. My first week home was a blur I did ok. 2nd and 3rd week have been disastrous, I can't get down vitamins or proteins down, gagging it down when I do. I went to the dr, today and they sent me to the hospital for another endoscopy and IVs and labs . I am dehydrated and run down, my bf broke up with me, and I am taking care of my 2 kids alone and feeling at the END OF MY ROPE. I too am regretting my procedure. Since starting the process last year Nov 30th I have lost 54lbs. 3o in the last month. My friends have been very absent in my recovery, and I am spending close to 15 hours a day sleeping. I almost want to be at work so I could just be around people again but doc isn't clearing me until next Monday. Idk if I could work a whole shift anyway.... Your story touched a chord with me, thanks for reading mine . I hope things get better soon, they told me this 3rd week is the worst and I should feel better soon. I hope so...My pants are loose too, no shirt difference, mainly pants. I think people don't compliment us because maybe they are envious ...33 pounds is alot! pick up three 10lb bags of potatoes in the market! That's alot! good luck keep in touch!

Crystal light raspberry lemonade is really good, and I agree plain water tastes wierd. I am 3 weeks post op and it's been hard to get enough fluids. I also like sweetener with fresh lemon squeezed and lotsa ice, like lemonade.

I am 3 weeks post and have been wondering on this one, thanks for posting. I am looking forward to a drink in January when I start solids!
