Hey everyone,
  I came home Thursday from the hospital. I was sleeved on Tuesday. I just want to make sure I am eating ok.

I had 28 grams of protein (shake) I mixed it with 1 cup silk milk
Water (lots and lots of water)
1/2 cup SF jello
1/2 cup of soup broth. Its the heart healthy kind
I was going to have 1 more protein shake before bed

And I eating enough?

I am in the full liquid stage right now.

Thanks alot!

You're doing fine, the idea at this point is just to get your liquids in.
I've read in other posts to aim for protein in this manner 30 grams in 30 days, 60 grams in 60 days and 90 grams in 90 days.

But yes, just concentrate on getting in your liquids. I had trouble at this stage, my tummy wanted to gurgle at me so much that getting in enough liquid was hard but I kept at it and finally made it.

At one day out, you sound like you are doing fine.  I had RNY but for us, full liquid wasn't until about 10 days out.  We were to get in 80g of protein, mostly shakes since we still couldn't eat more than an couple of ounces at a time.  6 meals a day, 48-64 oz of fluid whi*****luded our protein drinks.  All of our "meals" were protein based, yogurt, cottage cheese, creamed soups, milk, SF FF pudding.  Your jello and broth count as liquids.  When you feel ready, you might want to start adding some protein other than your shakes, like yogurt and blended cottage cheese.  Creamed soups were great for me because I wanted something that tasted real, not sugary shakes.

sounds great. If you can do more than that as well,that is good too. The more liquid of any kind including soups you can get in the sooner you will get your energy etc back.
Welcome to the losers bench!

Congratulations April, on putting on your LW Goddess toga.


I couldn't eat much when I first got home.  Sip sip sip was the most I could do. A few ounces of protein drink, a couple spoons of pudding or jello, and definitely lots of warm homemade super broth.

Sounds like you're off to a great start.
