Sleeved last Wednesday.

[GAHUNTER 17]

Came home Thursday. So far, so good.

Absolutely no problem, unless you consider that I can drink my egg-white Protein Shakes in five minutes a problem. However, just because I can drink them fast, I try not to. I actually hope I have more problem with solid food, once I start it. Also no problem getting my 64 oz of Water. Have not come close to throwing up!

One big surprise (considering my food addiction) is, so far, food is of no interest to me. I actually feel the same before my Protein shake as I do afterward, and that "same" is the fact that I just plain don't want to eat! Today, I only had two 12-oz shakes and one low fat yogurt, I just couldn't bear the thought of that last shake.< /p>

Didn't pee much in the hospital, but once I got home, I started peeing large volumes of urine every hour, 24/7 (does not make for a restful night sleep). Then, today, even though I drank the same amount of water as Thursday and Friday, I started retaining Fluid and my urine volume has been greatly reduced. Even had some hand and feet edema today. Hopefully, I'll soon settle at a happy medium.

Ninety-five percent of all the gas pain is alleviated.

So far, since last Monday, I've lost 16 pounds, however I'm not too excited as I am sure it is all water weight. Supposed to start soft solid food on Wednesday, I'll report back after that time.

[because 63]

I had to pee too right out of the hospital. Sleeved last Tuesday, home since Wednesday. I think it's the IV fluids. After the first night home the flow slowed down a great deal. liquids are still a slow go for me. I get stopped by a rippling cramp and a burp. My signal to slow down. Kind of feel like a baby learning how to eat all over again. Grateful for this! ???? Good Luck!
