I'm on the bench also :-)

 On Monday Iat 730 am I was sleeved. I stayed one night in the hospital n was discharged tuesday night cause I was walking a lot not having much pain and able to drink all liquids . I feel great. Of course I get occasional gas or pain from trapped air I think, but other than that I'm doing good. Also today I had a dr appt w my pcp an I was weighed in at 397. I cried cause I have been over 400 lbs for so long. My dr was so excited I went through with the surgery and said in no time I'd be at goal.

Congrats.  You did great.  Gas-x will help with the gas pains.   

How exciting!! Keep focussed and use your tool, do not expect it alone to do it for you. This exciting times to come, the further out can be frustrating and exciting, just remember there are supports all around you!!

Congrats to you also!!

Hugs!

It sounds like you are doing awesome! You'll be a skinny-minny in no time  Sharon

congratulation to you!  We were sleeved at the same time!

As per gases, I kind of know what you mean  hihihi!

I evacuated a lot of gases this morning, and just out of curiosity, I wighted myself right after (I had just weighted myself as my morning routine just before) and I had lost 1.2 pounds in gases, SERIOUSLY!

So think about it in a positive way, once they are evacuated, lots of pounds also will be!

 Thanks everyone :-) I will def be using this tool to its advantage . I know it's hard work and I'm ready for the challenge of my life. Thank u commenting and feel free to add me as a friend I'd love some friends from here.

I am curious:  how's your fluid and food intake 5 days post op???

 Days vary so far... Like yesterday couldn't hand sf jello? But let's see well its 630 pm here now and so far today had 12oz water 2 -6 oz cup of light cranberry/peach juice half a bottle of rtd muscle mile light 1 sf orange Popsicle and am now working on 1/2 cup of jello. So I still got some more time to go. I'll add up amount tonite n post amount :-) how much can u handle?

Hey,

I don't want to be taking supplement as I want to do it naturally, with as much as possible (without freaking out about it you know!) non processed food.

So if I look at my 5 past days, here is how it went, I am so unsure if I am doing good sometimes, it's scary.  But Surgeon seems to think it is supposed to be a slow progression, so I guess I am doing really good

Day 1:  Surgery day:  can have a few sips of water, suck on ice, but not much

Day 2: Same as day one for water, no progression, encouraged to walk and sip more, trying my hardest.  Able to have 1/2 cup chicken broth in the morning.  Walking is easy, sipping just doesn't go in.  Tried 5 extra miniature bites of jell-o, vomitted it 1 hour later

Day 3:  Trip back home, sipping is better, but nothing near the 500ml, wasn't yet counting, but couldn't finish half of a 500ml bottle, so fluid intake really low.  No dehydration though!
 1/2 cup of chicken broth in the morning, 1/2 in the afternoon.

Day 4(about 2.5g of protein):   1/2 cup chicken broth am, 1/2 cup chicken broth lunch, 1/2 cup jell-o pm plus about 500ml water

Day 5(about 19.5g of protein):  1/2 cup chicken broth am, 1 1/2 onces chicken breast+1/4 cup veggies t lunch, 1/4 cup yogourt and 1/2 cup jell-o.  Was really hungry that day, not so much thirsty, water intake was really low, less than a bottle

Day 6(about 35g of protein):  1/4 cup cottage in am, 1 1/2 onces chicken breast+1/4 cup veggies at lunch, same thing for dinner, 1/2 cup jell-o as a snack, water bottles 2 so 1 liter of water, realy good day, feeling better.  I thought I would lose less since eating more, lost 4.9 the next day

 Wow good job :-) and wow again u can have chicken and veggies? I'm on clear liquids til dr says I can move to next stage. I see him on Tuesday.
