Looking for my June 1 buddy's ?

Thank god you're ok. Day by day I'm sure you'll get better.

The pain in my right abdominal is pretty bad. I left the hospital last night. Technically this is just day two out of surgery. Walking and standing hurt the most. Were you guys in as much pain a few days ago? My surgery was on Thursday.

How high did your fever get? I run a low one every evening or night. I've been pushing more fluids at that time in case it's dehydration.

I've had one every day between 99.3 and 100.5... Dr. Said it was just my body fighting off infection. Nothing to worry about, my hydration and staple line looked good.

I've been trying to get Protein Shake down but I feel so full, not so much stomach but like after you have thanksgiving dinner and are ready for a nap. I get about 2oz down. Anyone start on shakes yet?

[busymom_of_3 31]

My Dr. Put me on shakes right away, I do them 3oz every 2 hours, and try to get in 5 to 8oz clear on the off hour. It's rough, but I'm getting better every day.

I know I can push more but just scared to stretch out stomach or over due it and not heal. I'll keep pushing a little more each time. Thanks

I didn't get shakes in until day 5. It's a struggle. I overdid it yesterday and have felt gassy and bloated all night. Backing off tomorrow and taking it slower. Sleeve is teaching me what to do and not do!

How's everyone doing this week? Can't wait for soft foods starting monday, tired of shakes. I still don't have great energy.

[busymom_of_3 31]

I have to wait until Wednesday to change my diet, that's when I go back to Dr. I went today, down 34 lbs total, 14 since surgery.still fighting the air bubbles every time I drink...makes me wonder how much air I was swallowing before surgery.

How's everyone doing with soft Proteins? Share your favorite recipe or food. Im already getting board of limited options but I'm getting my 60 g of Protein. Try Sf jam, I add it to Greek yogurt and it's so yummy.
