I will give it a shot! :-) thank you for your kind replies

That's excellent news. My sleeping is terrible and it's really starting me off to a bad day. I think it'd partly due to my anxiety issues and also since surgery my thigh has gone numb and I get bee sting like pains in it whenever I lay on my back so it really makes sleeinf hard! First few hours of each day I feel so tired and depressed and anxious but as the day goes on I seem to recover! Dreading sleeping tonight again hoping my symptoms improve so I can get a good nights sleep. I also had the sleeve :-) good luck!

How are you feeling? How's you sleep? I'm really struggling myself! Hope you're well

Thank you for your reply! I am also sipping slowly and often trying to hit that 75g of Protein myself but finding it hard to have enough Protein shake and enough Water in a day it's certainly getting easier tho! I've drank more today than the other 3 days combined

Just a quick question for anyone who's past the inflammation stage. At the minute I'm really thirsty and struggling to drink as I don't want to put too much pressure in my new pouch. I have a 500ml bottle of Water and I'm going to try and finish it within the next 3-5 hours or so. Is this ok? How long does water take to get past the stomach. also anyone who's past the inflammation stage. How much can you drink in one go? Like can you finish a cup of coffee? Can you have half a cup of water in one sitting? Can you gulp down 200ml water half hour and gulp another 200ml any idea would greatly help me as I'm concerned about being thirsty forever this is horrible haha !

Yes I have started some, they have given me some Calcium and Iron that I must start in 2 weeks. I've had a nap and managed to get nearly 500ml of Protein shake down me today and I'm feeling much better for it. I seem to be really depressed in the mornings but seems to get better later on. Maybe its effect from all the meds. I'm sure it'll get better with time appreciate all the support

That's good to hear I'm just going to take it day by day and see how I feel. So exhausted and dizzy at the minute

Thank you so much! That's just want I needed to hear. Brought a tear to my eye. I keep telling myself the only thing that has changed will be the quantity of what I can eat. Which has been my issue all my life. I have been depressed before and whenever I feel down I panic and think I'm going to end up falling into the pits of depression again. I need to just tough it out. can I ask how long after surgery did your mood improve? How long after did you gain some motivation back ?

Thanks for the reply! The gas is certainly getting better. Can drink a little bit more at a time each day. It's mainly the mental game that's keeping me down at the minute. Feeling physically exhausted and just don't want to do anything not even watch tv. guess I just gotta hang in here till things improve i am doing a lot of walking it's pretty much all I'm doing lol just walking round the house constantly trying to keep my mind occupied and sip sip sipping away thanks for the reply !

Fed 23rd here! How are you feeling? You're a day ahead of me hope you're well. Any feelings of regret/depression ?

Hello Lisa, I hope you are feeling better soon! I am 3 days out and also feeling depressed and remorse I really wish I didn't do it. Hoping to god this all changes. My bare is already barable but my legs numb for some reason just don't know if I did the right thing :-) I guess time will tell
