Day 24 after sleeve -- my progress
Weight is still pretty flat lined. I am hoping this week will be a little more encouraging. Haven't really lost more than 3 lbs in two weeks. Last night had an episode of Urinary Tract Infection. Normally women have this so was very surprised. I think the reason was that I was very constipated and it was suppressing my ability to urinate. Went to emergency in the middle of the night when my wife was tired of me getting up and down to go to the bathroom and couldn't go.
Anyway, now on cipro for 7 days and hopefully by this evening I won't be in any more pain, that is truly an awful infection to have! Because of the incident probably been undernourished a bit the last 3 days. After the IV of cipro an fluid at the emergency room I did gain two pounds. Trying to get back on track today, have most of my water intake in, had some scrambled eggs and cheese and a double milk so far. Otherwise, just scrambling to the bathroom in pain and then not going very much :-(.

Actually any milk I drink is mixed with 1/3 cup of powdered milk (preferably) per my doctor's orders..... part of this particular diet plan they have me on... I do use protein powder when I don't have powdered milk.
