6 Days Post Op

[Wonderwoman 7]

Hi everyone! I'm six days post op, was sleeved 3/12, and though I feel good I sometimes feel like I'm behind everyone else in recovery. I have a hard time getting in the required amount of fluids, so far I can get half to three quarters in, and after the protien shake of doom, I feel like I have no room for the 4 tablespoons of food three times a day. I'm starting to get depressed cause it seems like all I do all day is put something in my belly, I never thought I'd say this but eating is exhausting! Anyways I would appreciate any advice anyone has! Thanks in advance!

Hey Wonderwoman! Had my sleeve the same day. Protein Shakes are bad enough. I will tell you one thing....I never want to eat Soup yogurt or pudding ever again in my life. I am having a hard time trying to get all the Vitamin schedules down. I was so used to gulping drinks too the whole sipping thing is difficult too. Hang in there! New life...new thinking.....new attitude! From fat to flat!!!!

Wonderwoma. I am 3 weeks out felt the same exAct way you did. Johns Hopkins bariatric team starts puréed food 2 Nd week post op and well I felt like that's all I did was eat and drink and I still wasn't getting enough fluids. Thank goodness it's get better each day.....hang in there I promise it will get better!

hey wonderwoman! My sleeve was 3/13. What foods are you allowed to eat right now? I'm allowed yogurt, thinned cream of wheat, or strained cream Soup right now. I haven't had room to actually eat any of it though! I'm curious to know your food progression. Most people seem to be on liquids only for a few weeks! I was starting to think only my doc would let me eat sooner!
