How long does the insomnia last? Right now I am on medical but I cannot go back to work like this. What is safe to take with the sleeve. I have my post op appointment this Friday I can ask the surgeon as well.

I am sorry to hear that Lexi. I have a prescription now and have to get a sample over to the lab. Now the funny part I have not gone in a few hours lol. So maybe virus is done or will hit me later.

I am still having the diarrhea and can't keep anything down. I called the doctors today and am being tested for a viral. A little is typical but not prolonged like mine. I was also given a script.

For protein I have been drinking Isopure water. I bought the powder you mix to make it thinner 1 scoop with 8 oz water and it gives you 25 grams of protein. I do it 3x per day. Then I do the rest.

What I have been doing being on clear liquids only had surgery Thursday the 11 th is Isopure 1 scoop in 8 oz water 3x per day. Gives me 75 grams protein and water mixed. It does take me aan hour or more to finish sipping one. Once 3 then I do broth and water. I have No desire for anything and feel full all the time. Gassy yes both ends I am afraid. -
Thank you both of you.

I have been walking around the house as for treadmill hope you are not pushing it. I plan to do more as time goes on still very sore. I have to force myself to drink isopure protein water to get fluids and protein in. As for my diabetes my blood sugars are running higher not helping in the energy department and I am told rainbow coverage. Meaning I take a dose as needed. -
Things went well my bloot sugars are all over the place. Was given insulin 2x so far. I am sleeping on and off and did a small walk. It is hard due to dizziness. I made it through.

I am up getting ready to go to the hospital. My diabetes is my major worry all day yesterday praying not to get low blood sugar and could not take my insulin so had to be concerned with high blood sugar. As it turned out I stayed normal to little higher but not dangerous levels. Diabetics heal slower so I packed for a few days in case. Wish me luck I am at 9:00 AM -

I was told Biotin would help. You can get it in the vitamin section. Helps with nails too. -
