Glad to hear you all are tolerating the pain somewhat. You've made it to the other side now! I have mine Wednesday! Can't wait! Hope you're healing continues quickly!

Day 3 still gassy. Finding hard to drink 64 oz. did eat some Greek yogurt, sliced turkey, and cottage cheese...not all at one time and chewed a million times.

No pain , just sore as hell. No pain meds anymore. Gonna try Soup tonight .

Jealous!!! I'm on liquids (includes Jello and yogurt---haven't tried yet) until November 3!

[Newtum 49]

Agreed!! Can't believe you can have turkey already!! I'm on Clear Liquids and Proteins for two weeks then yogurt, applesauce, etc. Definitely a ways away from "real food"!

Had my surgery on the 19th. Ended up getting a hernia repaired along with the sleeve. Spent two nights in the hospital and was released yesterday the 21st. The goal is to be "eating" 700 calories, drinking 64oz of Water and 60g Protein. It is a struggle!! I'm doing the best that I can that's for sure. Having some gas pains and issues releasing gas are more hectic than I anticipated it would be. sleeping is difficult for me because I'm a stomach sleeper. Keeping my binder on my stomach seems to help for the most part. Feeling hunger pains almost painful when I drink water after eating.

Trisha - I'm in the same boat. Was only able to get about 10 oz of Protein and 20 oz of Water in today. But I'll keep trying. My stomach just keeps saying NO!

Yesterday I was out most of the day doing things with the kids (soccer games and conferences etc). It took everything out of me to be gone and walking so much. I slept in so late this morning. I am not doing as well today. I just feel exhausted and drained and uncomfortable. Sorry, just needed to vent a little. I was expecting to get a break from the kids this weekend and that is no longer going to happen, so I am pretty annoyed and disappointed with that situation. Nothing is tasting good. I got all these Protein fruit flavored drinks from my doctor and they upset my stomach. The clear broths upset my stomach. The Protein Shakes upset my stomach. I haven't been sleeping well because I am a stomach sleeper. The week has finally caught up with me I think.

Oh no. You may have over exerted yourself on yesterday. Please try and rest so you can recoup. Your body is definitely talking to you. Let us know if you need anything. It's ok to rant that'd why were here.

i'm amazed of you mamas going through this - everything exhausts me too (just a walk around the block or a couple hours of work at the computer!). I cannot imagine being up and about caring for little ones. you're rock stars! but totally agree you have to listen to your body, it telling you it needs you to slow down so it can stockpile the energy where it needs!

I am tired, all foods seem gross except the mini tacos that my DH is eating and I can't eat. lol My 5 year old daughter just climbed across my tummy and I am glad she didn't overly hurt me. I am back home and slept better last night than I have all week.

So for all you October 19th sleevers---how are you all doing? I feel like now that we have hit day 5 post op, things are looking good! For me, I'm moving around better, sleeping great, still a little sore, but getting used to my new eating pattern. I've had zero vomiting...no pain meds....and getting up to 40 G Protein per day. And 15 pounds lost since Monday! Things are looking up!

That is awesome to hear. I had to LOL though, I have no clue how much I am down, I just realized I don't even own a scale. LOL Guess I will find out at my 2 week post-op appointment HAHA.

[linzlou2000 193]

I'm okay. Down six pounds ☺️ however, my main incision next to my belly button is giving me a fit. It hurts bad!!!

I want to feel human again and am going to get out of the house with the family today.

I'm doing ok. Can't wait til the week is up so I can go outside. Though I'm nervous it may be cold by then. I'm down 5lbs. Still fighting to get fluids in. My program is all liquid first 10 days. 1 oz every 15mins. I don't think I've ever been so excited to anticipate cream Soup next week lol. I just added a Protein Drink starting yesterday. Going ok.

Glad everyone is doing well!

Me too! That one spot is a bugger, and I can't wait for that isolated pain to disappear, it will make it so much easier to move around!

[southernsleeved 17]

Same here! I spend time with the heating pad on it - and it seems to help.
