Hello all, I finally got out of the hospital on Monday. I ended up with some complications and ended up staying 5 days. So glad to be home.

Feeling good, eating good, no issues so far.

Yesterday I finally got 58 gm protein in and am figuring this out. I still need to get more water in me.

Its funny, I became diabetic in the hospital, so now I need to take medication and check my blood sugar. Kind of the opposite of what typically happens, but oh well, the human body does interesting things.

I go to see my surgeon today to get my drain out and can't wait to get rid of that thing.

I also and figuring out how big a sip is. I have had a couple of too large ones and am feeling that pressure they talk about.

Thanks for all your support.

Hi, welcome home. I like you are a newbie to this too. I had my surgery last Monday the 9th. My first 2-3 days it took awhile to figure out how much a sip was. Took me 2 hours to finish a CIB w/ Protein. I did away with the measuring cup and now drink normal but smaller. Sometimes I catch myself drinking what I think might be a big sip. Pause and hope for the best and nothing happens. I hope that you too will find you right sip in 2-3 days like me. Walking on the treadmill and around the house has made be better and have more energy. Also using 1-2 pound hand weights and doing arm exercises will help you arms out. This is all part of what my doctor told me to do, that's why I'm sharing.
I wish you all the best and hope to read more about your weight loss journey since we are on the same road together.
