[sprgls 11]

I got sleeved on Monday too. I had lots of gas pains in hospital and so when i got home on wednesday. But today I feel great!! I'm starting to get more fluids in now which is great. Just keep thinking about the end!! I've been told puree stage is lots better. So just hang in there

I'm already feeling better than earlier.

Today is 4days postoperative and I am feeling better by the minute. Still a little soreness but nothing compared to day one and two. I can see its all going to get better. I am not hungry at all. The Water and apple juice satisfy me. I am having a hard time getting in enough Protein though. Any Ideas? I'm thinking of trying they whey protein bullets...Ben doing the slimfast low carb high protein option but in two days I still haven't finished one. We got this people!

I used the same technique I used for Water to get the Protein drinks down. If you use the powder, you can mix it with a little less Water. The Slimfast is 10 ounces for 20 grams of Protein. I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken, which is 20 grams per scoop and mixed it with 6 oz. water. Within a few days, I was able to tolerate GNC Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder, which has 24 grams per scoop. I mixed it with Soy Milk, which brought it to a total of 33 grams of protein for one cup.

I know it sounds like a broken record but walk walk walk. It does gets better. I am home now after my surgery on 6/4/13. Walking is the only thing that seemed to work to get the gas out.

Omg i thought maybe it was just me but seems everybody's going thru it the left shoulder pain is almost unbearable!! I've walked til my legs hurt I try and get up every 2 hrs to walk and drink something! I was sleeved on weds and I'm praying for one little thing to stop hurting. I know the pain will go away but I guess it wouldn't be so bad that I want to cry sometimes - takes my breath away! Ive been eating Popsicles and having beef broth keeping everything down....but when I eat the broth it hits my stomach and feels an odd little pain....hoping that goes away soon! I feel like I need to drink more but can't- the doctor said take a sip every two to three mins....I know I got this but still....hoping tomorrow is a better day for all of us!

I was sleeved on Tuesday 6/4/13. I am slowly getting stronger. I knew going in what to expect. By doing the research I think Im exactly where I need to be. Haven't stepped on the scales yet.
