 I am  sure this  will pass but I was sleeved on Monday and it  feels very overwhelming to me to be eating/drinking ALL the FLIPPING time! Trying to  make  sure I get enough protien so I will heal and fluids so I don't  get dehydrated. 

Please tell me  it  gets  easier? Someone? Anyone?

Of course it gets easier!
Just take it day by day, you'll get the hang of all of it in no time.

Hang in there!

It gets easier...the ready to drink Isopure really helped me in the beginning because it counts as fluid and protein.

Where do you find Isopure?  The only place I have found is online.  Thanks!

It gets easier!!! I can promise that!!! I am 9 days post op and can take small but no longer tiny sips, can finish a shake in an hour instead of two and it really does get much easier!

I had a hard time in the first couple of weeks that I was thinking tht esame thing. I can tell you that at 7 weeks out now, every day I feel better than the day before. I even remember the one day that I was feeling horrible then the next day woke up and had so much energy and felt great!

Hang in there.

I am a little over 4 weeks out and felt the same way...it does pass once you get used to it. Everyday is a new experience with my sleeve but I feel SO much better now than I did that first 2 weeks. I remember reading others who had surgery right around the same time as me saying how great they felt...I felt like total crap! It does get better!!! Take it day by day. I followed vets advice and kept myself moving as much as i could handle and sip, sip, sip! Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

 You will be so surprised a month from now, and 2 months and so on how you are going to feel!  I am at 5 months and it is such a routine now to eat and drink.  In the beginning all of it is so overwhelming.  Remember we have been eating a certain way most of our life and now we have to stop and change so many things.  But you will eventually get to where your eating will become more and more normal.  Even though I had RNY I support all of us who had all the surgeries on this forum.  Best of luck and keep posting.  There will always be someone here to help guide you!  Jane

 Yes, it gets much easier! I second using Isopure ready-to-drink to get your fluids and protein at the same time. Hang in there and good luck!

I was re-reading some of my old posts last night and came across one around 3 weeks where I said the VSG was the worst thing I'd ever done.  Seems hilarious now - I don't even remember feeling that way!

Now I consider it the best thing I've ever done!  At 4 months I've lost over 100 pounds (including pre-op) and I feel amazing.

Hang in there.  There is no denying how crappy the first few weeks are, but I PROMISE it will get better.
