New here... Lots of questions. I had my sleeve on Monday the 17th and I am still having a lot of pain from one of the incisions. Is this normal? Also am I suppose to start drinking Protein Drinks? My doctor said make sure I drink 64oz of clear Fluid. But didn't say anything about Protein. Please help

I would give your dr. A call. I had surgery on the 18 th and never really had pain from my incisions. You need to make sure there isnt an infection starting. Then you can also ask about your Protein. I get to start adding protein on Sunday, but every dr. Is different. Best to talk to your dr. Best wishes.

Call your dr's office. Make sure you understand about your dr's prescribed diet (every dr.'s recommendations differ in some way) but see about the incisions. Do you have any drainage coming out? Even if not, call his office (even over the weekend) and inquire about those pls. Best of luck to you.

I had pain at one incision for almost 2 weeks. Only thing that helped was a trigger point injection.

My surgery was 9/12 & I still have left side pain from that bigger incision... Went back to hospital on this past Wed b/c if dehydration & my side - they did a cat-scan & mine was just bruised real bad but not any issues that would cause any other issues... Good luck & yes it's normal - I've read on this site numerous people have this on the left side - I believe also that is where they pulled out the stomach... Hope yours gets better soon...

Hey = we are sleeve sisters. I was sleeve on 9/17 too, only two years ago.

Call your doctor on Monday. Next, get on google and do a search for VSG diet plans (sometimes you have to spell out) You can get a lot of different opinions out there of what other docs think you should be taking in.

To break it down: First couple of weeks is more about being hydrated than being worried about Protein but that doesn't mean you should ignore Protein. Try different kinds of protein, clear worked for me from Isopure. Taste not so great but I could drink an entire bottle in a day with 40 gm of protein. Much better than those thick Protein shakes that came right back up.

Ask your doc what you should be doing to ensure proper nutrition including supplements. Good luck and hang in there. Things will be better. Feel free to contact me directly...sister.
