Call your doctors office for anything! I'm on day 9 and I've called 3 times. My doctors office is wonderful and they want me to call for any reason. Things I called for: 1. Felt weird feelings in my left leg, was nothing. 2. About protein 3. Today about soups. I wanted to know if I could have other soups then what are in my folder. The answer, "yes"!! Anything I can thin and run through a strainer, I am good!!! Cheddar cheese soup = AMAZING

Day 9: Today I got up and took a shower, finally shaved my legs, did my hair, and makeup. I took my 3 year old to the movies and to play at the mall play area. We came home and took a nap. I just cleaned up my house a little. (Dishes/laundry) I feel really good just tired. I'm trying to drink more Water. I am going to try and not weigh myself for one week! We will see how that goes!

Don't force the protein for a couple of days. At this point drink anything that feels good. I liked Gatorade. By day 4 you will be good to go!

Where are you from? Just curious, saw your name paradise mom and there is a town next to me called that. hope you are well!!

I am not a sweets person at all! It's starting to make me sick. I ordered unjury chicken soup online and unflavored protein. Go google unjury protein. It was $50 for those two canisters. The chicken soup has 21 g or protein and ill add the unflavored to other things I like.

I'm so far from being a water drinker. I'm trying to learn to like it.

What does your normal day look like so far? What do you drink?

Never heard of that. I'll check it out!!

I bought vanilla soy milk and have been mixing that with my strawberry protein and I love that! I need to make a run to the store for some regular milk!!

Today is day 8: I feel fine. Hardly feel the left incision. I'm just tired. I could sleep all day! I'm having zero problems getting 60g of Protein but struggling to get all 60oz. I love experimenting with different diluted Soups. Doctor said that if it can go trough a strainer, I can have it. So tonight I will try diluted with Water cheddar soup. I finally went #2. I used some miralax last night. I am taking twice a day a medications for acid/ulcers. I started my 2 Vitamins a day. I've been on B12 for a while. I am having some pressure in the middle of my back. I think it's just gas.

Ditto! Day 8, feel good. Big incision still sore. Itching like crazy.

No, I slept the entire time. They will probably have a tv. I never watched tv. I seriously slept the whole time.

Day 7: Not much of a difference from day 6. Getting my fluids and feeling pretty good. I did take some pain meds today. I took my 3 yr old to the park and it wore me out. When we got back I made some hot diluted cream of chicken and propped my feet up. The meds help me relax.

I'm on day 7 and I took some pain meds today. I only take them when I'm sore and need to really relax. I've found that on the days I do take them and really relax I'm better the next day.

Have any of you tried the advocare pro20 on the postoperative diet? 20g protein, 200mg alpha GPC and 140 calories. Do you think the calories are a lot? It's only 3 fl oz.

Praying for all of you getting sleeved. I'm one happy chick!! Day 6 Just finished getting a pedicure!! Left side hurts. Getting my liquids in! Nectar, Gatorade and diluted cream of chicken. June 5 post-op diet 203 June 19 surgery 187 June 24 today....179!!!!!!! Total weight gone - 24lbs Keep in mind I'm a shorty, hardly 5'1. Size 20 pants, XXL top. Goal 132

Wow! I can't believe you get to have all that food!! I'm on liquids for 3 weeks. Then soft food for 3 weeks.

Holy COW I'm 179!! That means 24lbs since preop 6/5/13. I'm so glad! I am having no complications. I pray that continues and everything continues to go as smooth as possible. TIP to those being sleeved!!!! If you feel ANY nausea or weird tell them you are nauseous and they will hook you up. I never threw up.
