Now I Know It Was Worth It!

[Donny 270]

I was sleeved Monday and today is Friday morning. I'm down 10 lbs from surgery and 50 since the 4th of July! Also, when I went to slowly roll out of bed just now the sharp pain never came! Its only a bit tender. Today's gonna be a good day! Now I just need to work on this dehydrated/malnourished feeling. Yesterday I got 55oz of liquid and 30g of Protein but I still feel slightly dehydrated.

Try to increase your Protein intake, it helps with the fatigue feeling early on after surgery.

It's only going to get better each day. Sounds like you're recovery is going great. Soon you'll be running 5Ks.

Hey! I was sleeved Monday as well. I still have a lot of pain in my tummy, but it is getting better every day. I am enjoying a lunch of low fat cream of chicken Soup, strained of course. I added a bit of dry milk powder for added Protein. Pretty good! I keep burping with every drink I take of anything. What gives??? No gas pain or pressure and I take my gas x strips regularly. Is this normal? Anybody know how to stop it?

[Donny 270]

Im the exact same! With most sips I burp and I use the gas x strips as well. Im jealous you are having cream soups! My directions say I can introduce the a few days to one week but never got clear direction so im sticking to the one week philosophy.

And Butterthebean, I cannot wait till I get to do a 5k and im really going to focus on a sprint triathlon!

Monday was my day as well! Unfortuneatly, I have drains on boths sides of my diaphram, so all most all of my pain is from those. I went from a band to a sleeve, so he wanted to make sure any Fluid in there was out! I've been on drugs most of the time because of the pain (TG), but am trying to function without them a little more today. I'll get the drains out on Monday & I know I'll feel soooo much better then. I just keep myself focused on the future weight loss.

You're doing GREAT, Donny!!! Keep doin' what you're doin'!
