Before surgery I could drink the premiere protein shakes with no problems. Since surgery they make me sick. I'm in the process of ordering PROTI 15 drink mix since that's what hospital gave me & I could tolerate it. In the meantime is there anything else I could try that's similar?

Amandarara, Wow! Congratulations. I can't walk without discomfort. Good for you with the mile. I just wanna feel better soon.

Hi Jay. So glad you aren't experiencing any issues. I'm slowly learning my body. Protein shakes are a no go for me however I am able to to have protein in yogurt, cream of wheat, water,. Also learning my "hunger pains" are often me being thirsty. Keep us posted on your progress

I was discharged home this afternoon after having gastric sleeve on Monday morning. I'm trying my best to get ALL my fluids & walking in however I'm so tired. And I feel hungry. Is this normal?

Slowly figuring out I'm in fact thirsty and not hungry. Learning myself all over has been interesting. I was never a big drinker so this is a big wow for me. Monday is 1 week post op and I'm gonna start introducing some new choices. Wish me luck.

Of course I'm nervous about post surgery complications however I am concerned about every ache & pain. Currently have a pain in left upper part of leg however it feels muscular. No redness or heat. Heck I even have had pains in the middle of my back but no difficulty breathing. Could this be dehydration? I'm trying to keep up with fluids but I know I could be doing more. I haven't walked as much either because I feel weak. Anyone else struggling??? I hope I'm not alone.

I had mine 3/13
