One week update

[np101 20]

Got the sleeve 7 days ago

Down 12lbs. Feeling good

Can't do more than 1 shake a day. Getting closer to 64 oz of Fluid a day on the Water side. Can usually sit down once a day and do 20z in an hour

Protein has been between 40-60g. Broke the 500cal mark yesterday.

Feeling pretty good- got 6-7000 steps each of the last two days. Less and less pain everyday.

I have moderate concerns that i am doing too much too fast. I'm also bored out of my skull, so there's that.

Follow up appointment Wednesday

Congratulations! I am 8 weeks post surgery, but just like you I was doing the same step amount per day and it didn’t do me any harm at all.

I was more worried about potential blood clots from sitting around too much, so I kept moving and walking around a lot.

I also found it very hard to keep hydrated, done days I only managed a tiny bit of Sustagen and apple juice.< br />
Keep us updated 😊

I just don’t understand at all! I’m 6 data out and can chug Water and Protein Shakes. It’s pretty worrisome since this doesn’t seem to be the norm.

I’m glad you two are doing well and getting so many steps in!

I could chug Water from day 2, I never tried to chug a Protein Shake but I’m pretty sure I could have. I don’t know how common or uncommon it is, when I told my Dr. he replied, “Your one of the lucky ones “

11 months later and I can still chug water.

Hi, Cheeseburgh. You've been so successful, which puts me a bit at ease. I already feel like I'm one of the "lucky ones." But, I'll take this bit of luck, too! Thanks.

I can’t leave my grammar mistake hanging; (too late to edit) He said, “You’re one of the lucky ones.” (Not “your”. )

It was making me twitchy.

^^^ I completely understand this—more than I should!

i really want to be able to chug Water

I can do 20oz if i sit and concentrate on it but it takes an hour

Only an hour? Gosh I am lucky to get 15-22 ml in every 15 minutes, if I do nothing else while doing it. House doesn't get vacumned, dishes get washed, laundry done and folded. I am not out paying bills, visiting various doctors unless I carry a water bottle everywhere. And that looks worse than a 3 1/2 year old with a baby bottle! No my own kiddos didn't have THAT PROBLEM, they were breast-fed into training and other cups but in my large group of First and Second cousins there are many examples. My cousin Amy Dues grandson, I was starting to believe Logan would start kindergarten with an elongated tea cosy over Mr Bottle, his best friend! And there was Miranda Kane , his older sister that we would have to pop the Binkie out of her mouth before she got ready for Brownies. Really don't want to runnother people's lives, but Jeese-Wowee , that is a prolonged period of time! You think I am a comic? Meet some of the fruits,nuts and apples on My Family Tree, Jeff Foxworthy would say they are worse than REDNECKS, known most of them all my life and they still amaze ME!
