How on earth are you getting that much Water in. I'm lucky if I get 16 oz in, and 10 grams of Protein..
Sorry I wish I could help, I have never experienced pain at all, but definately have a distended stomach and can't understand why it won't go down (larger than it was prior to surgery) I was sleeved on Sept 14th.

I was sleeved 06/24, and having the same issues. Protein Shakes, some mushy foods, and even Water makes me nauseated! So only getting 350 calories a day. Very hard to get Protein above 30 grams. I tell anyone that ask me how the surgery has been and I say, "it hasn't been any picnic, it has been really tough so far"....

I was sleeved on June 24 th and have also been struggling with food choices. Nothing sounds good. Half the things I 'm support to eat making my stomach hurt! The shakes are sooooo sweet. Even cutting the flavor with powdered Peanut Butter or yogurt isn't enough. Yuck. Also frustrated!

So I was sleeved June 23rd...I'm down 38 pounds (that includes the weight I lost during my 2 week pre op diet) I've been doing pretty good mentally up until recently. I am sooooo tired of these post op phases to the point of tears. I just moved to the purée foods and I thought changing it up with make me feel better but it doesn't. I would kill for a freakin crunch...it's not even that I want anything bad for me. Actually...what I'm craving is a veggie tray with hummus but I can't have it. Some people say these phases don't bother them because nothing sounds good...but to me anything but Protein Drinks, Soup, and mooshy crap sounds good. Ive been doing this for 5 weeks and now I find myself not even eating and getting my Protein in because I'm so over it. I need to change my attitude but is anyone else struggling?

Thanks for elevating my fears!
It's good to have someone going through the same thing, and with the same surgeon!

I think it depends on your insurance, and the location you choose. If the surgery is done in the hospital, they will want to keep you overnight (They get more money). Mine was same day and the only regret is that i went home and slept, shouldve done more walking the first day to alleviate the GAS. But as long as someone is with you, you will be fine. They send you home with Pain meds and anti-nausea medicine so its a smooth discharge.

So I've read on how to manage the skin issue, I'm only 26 almost 27 so my skin should have some good elasticity and snap back with a strict regime of toning starting as soon as possible with heavy lotion, and wraps, and hydration etc...but personal question...How did everyone's breasts do after this?
I've always had large boobs even when I was "slimmer" (read 215 lbs) so I'm a little worried tha they will completely disappear.
Is anyone willing to share their stories of their post op bodies?
I'm just looking forward to being super healthy and able to run and play with my nephews and my future kids one day without being exhausted after 5 minutes, but I need to know if I should start saving now, lol.
