waistnaway 32 Posted April 16, 2012 I was also sleeved on 4/11. The recliner is my new best friend. I can lie flat in bed for a couple of hours but not much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M_Johnson 43 Posted April 16, 2012 I couldn't take it anymore. It is uncomfortable when I turn over but I was up every 2 hours in that chair!!!! I just need a good night sleep. Lol. Congrats btw! How are you making out otherwise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waistnaway 32 Posted April 16, 2012 I am doing great!! Had my first post op visit with surgeon today. I am cleared to go back to work & do anything I feel like doing. Down 8lbs since surgery . No problems getting my fluids in but still struggling to get all my Protein in. The frisbee sized (j/k) chewable vitamins are horrible. How is it going for you?

M_Johnson 43 Posted April 16, 2012 I don't see my surgeon until 4/30! I am struggling with fluids but working on it . Wish I could have tuna/chicken salad with lett and tomatoe on a cracker....lol. Protein is hard....I gag on the shakes! Going to look for something else tomorrow. I am down 13 pounds but again not getting everything in! Ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwelk 10 Posted April 16, 2012 I know how you feel!!! The shakes made me gag and turn my stomach! Hang in there! Ur in the 2nd hardest phase! But soon you will be able to get your Protein with foods. I went and got some New Whey 40 grams of Protein Shots that are 3 oz at Vitamin store and ate that with some greek yogart. But spread the shot out during the day if you go that rout. It made me feel crappy if i drank it in one sitting. Yuck! Just the thought of a Protein Shake makes me gag!!! You are almost outta the shakes phase, then on to better things!
