It really to me about a week to feel an increase in energy. I've been back to work since Monday and just make sure I sit down when I need a break. As for the exercise, my goal is 10,000 steps/day; no matter how many little walks I have to take. You'll do great!

I'm 10 days out and feel the best I've felt in many years. Day 1: Minor pain and discomfort; pain meds worked great. The worst part was having the nurses check vitals hourly. Day 2: Had difficulty going pee. Knew I had to go, but it just wasn't happening. The nurse put a peppermint liquid in my urine bottle and told me to give it a few minutes and try again. She told me the smell helps some patients urinate and low and behold; it worked! Released from hospital..... Day 3/4: Breakfast: Protein Shaken then went for a short walk (600 steps/fit bit) Lunch: Protein Shaken then went for a short walk (600 steps/fit bit) Dinner: Protein Shaken then went for a short walk (600 steps/fit bit) Minor pain w/gas. The issue I was having is drinking Water just wasn't satisfying enough and I didn't know if my hunger pains were mental or true hunger pains. I found a Crystal Light (Sweet Tea) I like and it took that feeling away immediately. Day 5: Went to work for 1/2 day. Should of stayed home. Very tired Day 6/7: Weekend Followed Day 3/4 schedule. The minor pain started going away One week out Dr. Appointment: Loss 16.5 lbs. I made the right decision!

I'm 7 days out of Gastric Sleeve and around day 4 I found myself feeling hungry even though I was following the clear liquid diet. I found that Crystal Light Sweet Tea takes away the hunger feeling, but I wasn't even thinking about tea containing caffeine. I checked the ingredients and it is 99% caffeine free. Think it's ok to continue?

No, I'm not on a PPI. I was just hoping I could continue with the Crystal Light Sweet Tea as a liquid...Thanks
