Hey sleeve twin! I also had my surgery 10/10/17. Other than the 30 minutes of walking a day and gas x chewables I haven’t found any other solutions. My incisions aren’t too bad, I’m having problems with just one of them. Just take it day by day in hopes of the next day being better [emoji4]

Congrats to you!! I had my surgery last week Tuesday. I told my mom the first day out of the hospital that I regretted it, and that I didn’t want to go through this process anymore lol. It’s nice to see that I wasn’t the only one feeling like that, but it’s done and over...and there is no looking back! I’m claiming greatness for the both us [emoji4]

So I just had my surgery 10/10/17 and boy is this challenging already. Of course with only being a couple of days in I don’t know everything, but when am I gonna truly get the hang of this? When it comes to liquids I sip, but I don’t feel like I’m getting enough fluids in...I feel the same with with eating too! I’m eating more than I did at the hospital, but I’m not sure how much I should be consuming. I’m scared that I’m going to over do it and make myself sick. I’m not filling full on this liquid diet, is that normal? Also to switch topics did anyone one else have an incision in their belly button? It’s the worst pain ever!!! The other incisions I have are manageable, but this is extreme. It makes the simplest movements so painful [emoji17]

Also I forgot to mention with the portion sizes I make, I never finish the food. I don’t know really how much I should be eating so whatever I don’t eat gets put up or thrown out. I’m scared of over eating and making myself sick. That could be a reason why I’m still feeling hungry, maybe?

I wasn’t given an amount just an example schedule of food timing and liquid timing using the meals from the weigh loss center. The meals there such as soup, hot chocolate, protein waters etc are pre packaged. So I’m not sure what I’m doing at this point and can’t get ahold of anyone from my surgeons team until Mon. The cream of wheat was given to me at the hospital and so were the soups, so I was just basing my foods on what was given to me there. F

Hey! I’m up every morning around 5:30-6:00 I drink a protein shake because it’s the easiest thing for me to get. Usually by that time I’m up because I’m hungry and in pain. I eat again around 9:30-10 ish with either another shake or about 6 oz of cream of wheat blended. In between those times I’m sipping on a bottle or a large cup of water. Around 2:30-3 ish I’m having 8 ounces of whatever soup or stock around the house. I sip on more water and I either have a sf popsicle or a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt. My dinner is the same amount of soup, followed by more water. A found myself still being hungry around 10 or a little bit later, last night I got more soup. If it’s not that bad I have gotten another sf popsicle and more water and then go to bed.
