VSG July 5th, looking for buddies

[wknapp2966 8]

Had my sleeve done 7/5. Is anyone else second guessing the decision? I am struggling to even drink 20 ounces and find a way to get Protein. How is everyone else doing it?

Wknapp2966. I had mine on July 5 and have wondered what the heck did I do???? Today was the first day I felt a little better. I have been told this is normal. I hope so. I am struggling with my liquid goals too. I desperately want a cup of coffee but can't imagine how I would drink it. I'm to full!

I have a friend who had the sleeve done over a year ago. She keeps telling me it's worth it. I don't drink coffee but would love something with sugar!

Are you feeling air moving just from drinking sips of any liquid? I feel like I am making more air in my stomach with each sip.

mine is more like a rumbling, not air. Like my stomach is always empty.

What protien shakes are you drinking? I am finding them really really sweet.

I felt like "what the heck did I do" the first day after surgery. The second day a bit better. So i am guessing it will get better as the days keep going. I figure we see all these success stories and we just have to hang in there. We've got this.

Yay for new buddies. You seem to be in good spirits so you must be doing well after surgery. Are you struggling with anything? What is your favorite food right now?
