Hi everyone - how are you all getting along? I'm day 10 today - got my staples out so totally lost horror/goth status with my family. I am just starting thicker fluids - yoghurt, runny mousse type consistency - and it feels good. I have lost *no weight at all* since I came home on day 2 - hoping this is just some sort of adjustment because I really need to see a loss soon. Managing about 50g protein a day - maybe 60 yesterday. I did suck a tiny lump of cheese yesterday and I've never tasted anything as good. Pain is improving a little every day. I have my 2 week checkup next Wednesday and I hope to go back to work after that. I'm walking 1000 quick steps several times a day now. How is everyone else? Just jogging along?

Thanks both 😍 Pain is a little better today - a little better every day - so I guess I'm moving in the right direction. Still can't sleep on my side and I waken if I even try to get into my usual sleep position. Then my back starts to ache from lying on my back all night ... you all know the drill, right? Real drop in energy levels yesterday and today so am upping my protein today - adding protein powder to everything that goes in my mouth. Last thing I need is to start breaking down protein for energy - it's my faaaat that needs to go, I have lots of that to spare. Scales haven't moved since I got home after my op, which I know is completly normal. So I didn't weigh myself this morning at all. Today s protein day! Every day from now on is gonna be protein day, isn't it? 💪

🤤 It has *everything*

I just love hearing how well people do with this surgery, it's inspiring. Kudos to you bufbills!

Super helpful to see that - hoping that'll be my life in a couple of months. Just have to get there in one piece!

Thank you! Couldn't find it anywhere!

Hi all, just saying hello after lurking for a day or two. I'm so glad to have found you all - was floundering around on Google looking for answers and they're mighty thin on specifics. I need DETAILS guys! I had a sleeve gastrectomy last Wednesday November 17 so I'm day 7 today. I have some residual pain in the left side of my abdomen - I've had a lot more pain than I expected actually but other than that everything is going really well. Super tired today but I suppose that's to be expected! Still on the emotional rollercoaster - full of optimism for my new life but simultaneously grieving the loss of my closest companion of many years, overeating. I'm in Ireland so I will keep strange hours compared to you lot, but that's good for me - you'll all be here for me when I can't sleep!

I hope it goes smoothly today 3Grand - start of your new life! Come and join the November forum when you get out the far side.
