I'm home and drinking plenty of fluids.   No real issue getting my protein shakes in. Only issue...  I've spiked a fever.  Sigh

Thanks for all the well wishes you guys. 

Hope your fever goes down soon. Get plenty of rest.

Congrats! I have had an easy recovery as well. Take care of that fever and rest, rest, rest! 

Good to see you are home. Drink and walk, drink and walk. You'll have all kinds of weird rumblings for a week or two, and you'll be worn out pretty quick. But you'll feel a little better each day.

Stay away from the scale for a while if you can. The first month it does very aggravating things.

Welcome to the losers bench! Be kind to yourself. Walk, rest, drink repeat! Hope your fever goes down and things continue to go well for you! 

Glad you made it home! Make sure you tell your surgeon you have a fever - mine has me take my temperature daily for two weeks to make sure I don't develop an infection. I am one week out. I too am getting my protein but in the evenings I am feeling actual hunger which is weird. Although the thought of solid food makes me sick.

Not long after surgery I was getting very hungry, some serious food cravings. It was probably from not having eaten for so long, and not being able to eat for a couple of weeks still. But once I was able to eat a little solid food, it was months before I was hungry again, at all. It's one of the hormonal changes from the surgery.

It's a wonderful gift, not being hungry. It makes losing so much easier. But hunger does come back, usually from 6 to 9 months or so. Take advanrage of the gift when you have it.

 

No fever today.  I think my body was just in "what the heck" mode.  I'm sipping water constantly... I feel full 100% of the time lol.
