CoachKK 0 Posted May 14, 2010 Yea, I finally got sleeved on Tuesday. The first day home was awful but every day has been a little bit easier. I was told I had the glue on my incisions but found when I took the bandages off there were staples! I guess I'll get those out in my one week post -op.

CoachKK 0 Posted May 16, 2010 Thanks everybody! Goodlife, I know I'm not getting enough fluids. I'm really trying and it's getting better. Yesterday I got 35 grams of Protein and that was day 5. I'm just finding that any of the ready to drink Proteins I just can't stand. If it's powder and I mix it then it's better. I'm supposed to be getting 40 grams of protein and 48oz of Fluid. The closest I've gotten is 30 oz of fluid. But I'm walking so much my neighbors must think I am crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodlife 3 Posted May 16, 2010 Hey that's a start and it will get easier and easier. How are you feeling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carolyn24seven 11 Posted May 16, 2010 Coach: my neighbors finally got to know me. LOL honestly, I walked so much I met so many neighbors, it is a good thing. You will do fine. sorry to hear about the staples. I would not have liked that! That is minor, I sure there was a good reason. Enjoy your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatcurves 3 Posted May 17, 2010 I am only a few days post op but this is my recipe for Protein that seems to work really well. Red bottle Isopure put in a bottle I bought at VONS that was big enough for ice cubes. Mixed with a 1/3cup motts apple juice and Water, or depending on mood or tolerance for sweets, Vitamin water. Shaken really well makes the mix cold and the ISOPURE kinda disappear. I have been home 2 full days and finished 2 full 40g bottles of "ISOPUKE". anyways I thought I would let you know if you wanted to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoachKK 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Thank you all so much! Today's almost a week and I'm feeling good. I've discovered that the Isopure, which I couldn't stand before surgery, I can drink now. Yesterday got closer to my Protein amount and today I think I might make it. Phatcurves, thanks for that idea. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
