Hi! I was sleeved June 5th and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm also walking around and feel pretty much normal. I picked up my son from grandma's house yesterday and I'm glad I'm able to care for him. I'm glad to hear you are feeling good too!

You all seem to be doing great, my doctor said no driving til my appointment on Monday (tomorrow). I am feeling a little weak. Is anybody else feeling hungry? Or discomfort when you drink, like your stomach is contracting, how about diarrhea?

hi all ;june 5th here. Just got back from grocery store. I had my first muscle milk this morning. It is still making me so full. next one will be half of one.I did take over an hour to drink it. I definitly felt out of sorts at the store, not myself. Over all though this has been pretty easy.Yesterday I had terrible diarrhea. Today is better.Good luck to all!! this is going to be a very new learning experience!!

I'm still trying to difference between real hunger or head hunger! I'm slowly getting used to sipping so it doesn't hurt. How are you doing with your Protein and liquid intake?

I could drive when I was off pain pills. The way I sat in the car, though, hit a nerve that put intense pain in my left shoulder blade. Took a few weeks to work it's way out. So glad it did!

I didn't feel much discomfort at all with eating/drinking. I hope it passes, Chris!

That's funny it took me also an hour to drink my Protein shake! (Before it was a five minute thing) glad to hear you are doing better. It's definitely a learning experience. Good luck !

I was sleeved June 3rd and came home Tuesday the 4th. By Thursday I felt great, and have ever since. I've been grocery shopping, been to the bank, picked up the kids from school, had play dates at the park...my recovery has really been remarkably fast. Only 1 more week of liquids and I can move on to pureed foods - I am SO excited for that!

Yes! I was sleeved 5/29. I have had a very difficult time with getting in my fluids and Protein. I've been to the hospital twice for fluids. My problem is I am allergic to the stomach spasam meds. So its painful to drink and then the diarrhea does not helo with the dehydration. I start pureed weds. Abd think that will be a big help! Keep your head up...kind of sounds like a little of everything is normal.

so day 5, still having some issues with drinking Protein, Premier Protein is the only one I can seem to keep in. Have now eaten half a container of greek yogurt, and tummy is rumbling but ok. Been drinking fluids ok today. Still some bathroom issues. I went grocery shopping, walked dog around block 3 times. And went and got my 6 year old grand daughter for some company. So I would say I am doing great! Can cough and move today without discomfort:). WE CAN ROCK THIS PEOPLE:)

Day 5 here (sleeved 6/6)

Doing pretty good. Still a little but if abdominal pain but nothing pain med worthy. Actually felt like getting out of the house today. DrI've & ran a couple of quick errands. Energy level is improving. Growing very very tired of broth... Ready for something with some type of substance to it.

Sleeved June 5 first day of driving today that's all normal but walking around the store just felt odd. Don't know if it's because I felt like I wanted to eat everything I saw at the grocery store and couldn't or just felt weak! Lol I feel like I'm drinking something every second of the day and that's driving me crazy. I did try some cream sweet potato Soup today it was yummy. Ran several errands a lot less than I normally do. Feeling pretty good, But if I take one itty bitty bite or sip more than I should my stomach has a really funky feeling! It's all a learning game and getting in the habit of Doing it right!

I was sleeved on thurs the 6th . Overall it hasn't been too bad. My H&H dropped on day 2 in the hospital and I had to stay until Sunday . Lots of rumbling and feel gassy everytime I drink of anything ! Can't sleep in my bed hurts too bad I can't sleep on my back so I have been in my recliner ! It's not too bad . I have tried a pillow but that's not really helping yet but hopefully soon! I am looking forward to the purreed stage !

June 7th was my date, came home from the Hospital on Monday, and today was the first walk outside the house...I hope to be up and around town (at least a trip to the store) tomorrow. Still have a little pain as I drink, but once it gets all the way down to the stomach it seems okay. Off the pain meds for now, still can't sleep on my left side yet, but it will all be good soon...
