Well, it appears that any Protein that has ANY sugar in it, goes right through me... Spoke with the nutritionist and they moved me to pureed so that I can start taking my protein via food. My blood pressure is down low and I have no energy because I was only drinking Water, sf popcicles, and cream soup.. YIPPEE now I can have anything that is mashable EXCEPT meat, bread, and pasta...

Oh and Sonic sells a Sunrise Smoothie... it is NOT ON THEIR MENU but they do make it.... strawberry, banana, a splash of orange juice and a scoop of their "ice cream" which is actually ice milk... YUMMMIEEE! and here is the nutritional info... a little high in calories BUT VERY high in protein and that's exactly what I needed right now... http://calorielab.com/restaurants/so...oothie/14/2046

It will get better, believe me. I am 2 weeks post-op today and I just got back from walking to the homecoming parade...1.7 miles round trip. I think within a week, you will be feeling a lot better!! Congratulations. :)

I was sleeved on the 17th. Really thought I was doing well. Last three-day I sleep a lot and have gotten behind on my Water. Not having pain, but burning if I bend the wrong way. liquids really getting old. Anyone else have these problems or am I worrying too much?

I was sleeved on the 17th too... Are u taking your Proteins and your Vitamins? ? And dont slow down on yr liquids or you might get dehydrated... Dont worry our bodies are just reacting to the loss of more than half of a major organ...just keep a track of your fluids n proteins and u will feel better...i am taking my Multivitamins religiously and it works wonders...cheers !!!

Sitting here waiting to go home after 2 nights in the hospital. Pretty rough. Hopefully this was all worth it.

just wanted to reach out to u and tell u it will get better. this is temporary- when u graduate to soft mushies- it gets better fast. do EXCTLY what u r supposed to- do nit get dehydrated. For the next two weeks- getting ur fluids and Protein in are a full time job. hang in there- its soooo worth it- 4 mos here- 70 lbs.

I had the sleeve doneon Monday Sept 17th--had alot of pain (more than I had anticipated) but today - 5 days post op' date=' I finally am feeling better-showered, hair washed and styled and mascara on! Off for a short walk and then spending the morning on the porch reading and enjoying the beautiful fall day!!

My question is: How many of your surgeons/doctor groups called you at home post op?? Mine has not, and I am kind of pissed about it!

Mine called 2 days after then the following week. Also the hospital bariatric nurse called to check on me and also mailed me a get well card. I was very surprised

My surgeon n NUT gave me their cell numbers ....that was pleasantly surprising!! But i guess most surgeons in India do that....what was even more surprising is that they actually reply texts :P not immediately but they do....:) :)

1st night at home and pretty rough. Very hard to find a comfortable way to lay down. The hospital beds weren't the best so have bad back ache to go along with the pain in the front. Stomach is going crazy so going to call the Dr for Prilosec and anything else he can give me to help out.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
