Hi everyone , just wanted to do an intro post. I had my sleeve 3/23 and it has been up and down since then, but I think I am mostly doing pretty good. Still unable to take in enough Water. When I do drink water, it is usually halved with apple juice, not good I know, but tolerable. My energy level is still not that great - is that normal at this point?? I am now eating soft foods and that makes me happy. I think that I am already getting tired of the Protein shakes though. Any suggestions there would be appreciated. My incisions are all healing well, and I only have slight pain on the left when I bend over, turn, roll, etc. Overall, I think I am doing well. My post-op appt is next week and I can hardly wait.

I had my sleeve on the 23rd also!

I can definitely tell, and I think you are looking great!

I also am a Med/Surg RN. I am only POD 4 so I haven't yet returned to work. I am interested in what others have done to keep up on fluids & protein while working busy 12hr shifts though.
