I’m going to be honest with you…there is absolutely no way I could have gone back to work two days after my surgery (which would have been yesterday for me). I’m kinda going back tomorrow, and I’m even questioning whether I can do that (and it is a work from my bed, with laptop on my lap, kinda job). I’m no longer on pain killers during the day, but I just feel like sh*t. Gas pains have subsided a lot, but still there. I’m really struggling with getting any Protein in me, and between alternating 2 ounces of a Protein Shake with getting water/other liquids in me, it is a full time job. 2 Kim0120 and rokse23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made Bone Broth and a cup of broccoli for dinner last night and it was so bland that I started experimenting with pickles and banana peppers as seasoning (not sure if that’s fair game but I’m allowed veggies). Any fatigue? I’m a little spacey but just trying to stay busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any fatigue? I’m a little spacey but just trying to stay busy. I am on full liquids. I am doing like 3 shakes a day, yogurt, pudding, Jello (all sugar free). Of course adding in the Water, gatorade zero, and crystal light. No caffeine either-that has added to my fatigue too. I did try some broth yesterday to try and get used to it for post op and its not my favorite by far. I keep hearing that the second week is better. Hoping this is true. Are you having the sleeve?
