Just checking in this will be my 6th day post op and the pain is down to a Lil soreness at my biggest incision . Main things is I'm not really hungry. Also running out of ideas for what to eat on the full liquids phase , mainly eat broth , Water , crystal light , sf Jello , sf pudding , Powerade zero , Protein shakes . Anyone have any of suggestions?

I was also sleeved on the same day as you! I have had almost no pain at all. But I did get to spend 2 nights in the hospital (surgery was not completed till 3:30) that is why I think I won the second day.

I started feeling worse when I got home, fever no urge to drink or anything. Was falling asleep all the time. So I called the Dr and they told me to hit the power aid (yuck) but I did it. The next morning my surgeon calls and I tell him everything. Go to the ER NOW!

At the ER i found out I had a UTI and some nasty CDIFF. I am on HEAVY antibiotics, but am feeling good today!

Congrats on the sleeve ! Hope your doing better now . I've been walking a lot and have taken a month off from work to heal properly . So far I'm down like 16 pounds from surgery date . I can't wait to get into the puree or soft foods phase . I still get a lil tired after I walk or push it to hard but am getting better everyday

Congrats! Loving my sleeve!

Don't know if this helps or if you already know but www.insurenutrition.com will contact your insurance co to see if you qualify for your premier Protein shakes, scar and stretch mark cream to be covered. My insurance covered it and that a savings of $100.00 a month just on shakes. Just make sure you don't have a cap on prescriptions. Hope this helps and congrats on this wonderful journey. I am 9 weeks post op and down 40 lbs.
