Topic: How do you get your fluids in?

I'm having serious trouble getting my fluids in. How do you do it? How much, what kind, when, etc. By the way, I totally can't eat and drink at the same time, makes my sleeve hurt and uncomfortable.

Thanks, Emily

Topic: RE: how much did you lose on your pre op diet

Did liquids and 3 protein shakes a day for 14 day and lost 20 lbs. Alot of it has to do with the amount you need to lose also. The bigger when you start the more your body is willing to let go of.

Topic: RE: First Post Op Visit - scales are so confusing

Hey Kim

Glad you are doing so good. I havent weighed since I came home and today is my first visit with my surgeon so I hope I have done as good as you.
I too am tired quite a bit and the past 2 nights I have slept in the bed and not on the couch. For some reason I am too scared to turn onto my side so I wake up a few times just to make sure I am still on my back...lol.
Hope to get the staples removed today too. Will let you know how it all goes today

Hugs
Myra

Topic: RE: old demons resurfacing

My husband and son still have some sort of dessert or snack in the evening and It is hard to watch them. Even though I am not hungry I still crave some of my favorites. I will be staying busy with my sons sports in the evening so hopefully that will work :)

Hi Lisa,

They usually have a person in the office that completes these release to work forms and maybe they can change it back for you. That is also when I am returning to work....Good Luck!

Topic: RE: how can you tell if your full

I have to agree with some of the others. I feel full all the time and I have been having a problem with my intake. When I do eat I get 1 to 2 oz and I have a sensation in the middle of my chest at times it feels l like the food is stuck.
