Questions, Questions, So Many Questions
gfbhmbz replied to dlinnh's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks so much for responding. Yeah, we do share our surgery date, so I think that is a positive in our journey. I am truly excited about the surgery, I feel so different now that i lost some weight. I am so totally disappointed that I can't get all my Water in and am having a hard time with the Protein Drinks, too. My energy level has been horrible, then I drank some green tea with stevia and wow, did that help! I realize now the tea has caffeine in it...oops! But hey I'm ok and had lots of energy, so I'm guessing it is really ok. Tonight I puréed some red Beans, and ate them and it has stayed down.....I'm fortunate as I know some people have trouble changing over to soft foods. I also ate an egg today, half in the morning and half at lunch. That stayed down, so tired of the sweetness of the Protein drinks. Keep in touch with me and let's support one another! I appreciate you already! G -
Sleeve Done Robotically
gfbhmbz replied to Huntingnurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was done robotically as well. I did not need pain meds after I was out of the hospital, two day stay. I have very small incisions and after 11 days my stitches are falling off. I am already eating semi solid food, but still drinking protein...guess that's forever. The robot was awesome. Go for it! -
Questions, Questions, So Many Questions

Hey all, I'm eleven days out, Nov. 15 was my surgery date. I've lost 25 pounds, from 215 to 190. Not bad, but I have no energy.....shouldn't I have some energy, here? Oh well, I'm just taking it day by day. I drive one hour and forty five minutes everyday to and from work. I don't know if I'm up for that drive twice a day yet. Good luck to those of you just going through this milestone in your life. I'm happy to have it behind me and to look forward to a more healthy life! -
Not Sure Right Place To Post...fatigue
gfbhmbz replied to almam's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am so happy you posted this! I was just going to post something myself. I can't get over the constant tired feeling, when everyone says, "I have so much energy!" I am going "what is wrong with me?" I'm 11days out and I'm trying like heck to drink all the Protein and Water, but can't quite get either down in a day. Any suggestions? I'm tired constantly! Thank you.
