Home from Surgery and feeling like I'm in somebody else's body

[ATLGirl 134]

Shelia,

I would love to be your sleeve sister. You left the day before me with Dr. Kelly. I am feeling kinda groggy, but overall no pain pills needed. I haven' been tracking anything yet (only liquids) but this next week I plan on sticking to a plan. I aim to get 63 oz of fluids daily, but I think I am around 40. I plan on trying to clean the Living room to do something with my boredom. Glad you are doing well.

I think I'm only around 40 too right now

I was sleeved on 01/17 and I think I am only up to about 48 oz fluids. Glad everything went so well Sheila.

Glad to see you're back. How's the intake?

Thanks Lelia! Glad everything is going great for you. We were sleeved 3 days apart! Keep me updated on how you are doing.

The intake is wonderful. I was on Clear liquids for 8 days. No problem there. I have moved to taking my shakes. No problem here either because I love Atkins shakes. I was taking them long before even thinking about surgery. Now, I just modify them by adding some extra Protein powder to the already made shake to make it 35 grams. I could also add hersheys sugar free Syrup to it if I wanted. Havent tried that yet. Also, I love iced tea. I just had to buy Decaf and make it at home with splenda. I sip on that all day and I'm a happy camper. From what I hear, liquids is the easy stage. It's when you moved to real food that it gets interesting. Anyways, I feel normal. Best thing I've ever done for myself.

Glad you are home and recovering nicely.

Yes, you are right, fluids are the MOST important thing after surgery....keep sipping and walking (and resting too) Oh and congrats on your loss! Woo hoo!
