Got home around 4 and feeling good. Getting fluids in and ate a Popsicle. Looking forward to cream Soups and yogurt over the next week I only have one incision that hurts. I gained 6 pounds at the hospital. I know it just fluids ad will wait to weigh again Friday.

Bloomer, how are you doing?

[Bloomer723 75]

Doing pretty good. I slept in my bed last night 10 p - 5 a. I'm going to try really hard to get my Water in today. The shakes and yogurt go down so much better than the water. I weighed to 218.0 today which is less than surgery weight, looking forward to the scale moving. I haven't had a bowel movement since Thursday., but I've been passing tons of gas.

That's great that you got to sleep in bed. You must not have any pain then? It actually doesn't hurt that much. Just soreness. My csection was worse then the sleeve. But it helps that we have small insicions instead of 1 huge one. That's good that your already losing weight too. Extra Fluid sucks in the body.

It's going to be a great day! I pooped first thing this morning and that is the first time I pooped since surgery, yeah me! I also have 30g of Protein in before 7:00 am. Still have a little pain on the left side but very manageable. I was awake all day yesterday and went to bed at 10 p. I slept good until 5:30 a. Each day it gets better.

@@Bloomer723 how are you getting so much Protein down? I am, still having aversions to the shakes. I have some unflavored powder that I mix with cream of chicken Soup, but I can't get enough in me to hit the goal. Not even close.

@@bcostasbiggs - I drank a premier Bananas & Cream (30 g) this morning and it took about an hour to drink. I have been eating yogurt and cheddar broccoli Soup with unflavored Protein. It's actually easier for me to do the soup, shakes and yogurt than drink Water. I've only got 12 oz of water over the last 3 hours. I love water but sometimes it hurts when it goes down.

I'm hanging in there. I have OCD and I'm trying not to obsess about the liquid diet so much. My timer goes off, I drink a shake. Then drink 20 ounces of Water. Then another shake. Then some broth. Then a shake and so on. When I've had all my water I switch to tea or Vitamin water. And I go about my day. I even pre made some shakes to get rid of that ritual 5 times a day.

One week post op and I feel really good. Barely any incisional pain left. I feel like I can bigger drinks of Water, well more than a sip. I've just been eating Soup, yogurt and Protein Drinks or shakes. My daughters birthday is the weekend and we are having a party tomorrow. I had to go into Subway (smelled like heaven) and GiGi's cupcake to order food and cupcakes for her party. She has to have surgery to remove her Thyroid on Thursday so it will be really hard to to stress eat with a 4 oz pouch. I need to take food with me to the hospital because she'll be in a few days.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
