SAS

Are you drinking enough water?

I know what you mean about the Protein. I think that's one of the most common problems people have after verticle sleeve, which I had. I am 19 days out now. I have finally narrowed it down to the vanilla soy milk and the vanilla ice cream flavored Gold Standard 100% whey, that I got from GNC. It's not too sweet, which I need right now since lots of things taste too sweet for me now. I should probable try skim milk again since it would be less sweet, but right after surgery I could not tolerate it. Good luck.

Yayyyy, I'm so glad for you. I was praying for you this morning. Good to have morphine going. You won't need it long. It's all gravy from here on out !!!

I stayed overnight, which I think is fairly common unless you have a switch or by pass, which I did not. I will be thinking of you tomorrow and it's good your surgery is early, mine was at 12 so I had developed a hummer of a headache by that time from no coffee. Go ahead and expect to feel crummy for about 18 hours, just in case ... heck you just had surgery, but it gets better fast after that. All the folks in the hospital and my doctors office were just the best in the world. Could not have asked for more kind considerate and caring people to take care of me. That means so much! Thanks for the ruler tip, mine copied over as a ruler, but I'll have to wait to see if it stays in. Good luck!

I havn't figured out yet how to get the ticker ruler to show up on mine. I thought when I pasted in the link it would convert but I was wrong. Any assistance is appreciated. As for your worries, I know exactly how you feel. I even had a doctor (not my surgeon) and a nurse tell me I didn't look like I was heavy enough for the surgery, but at 5 feet and 200 lbs, the scales don't lie. I had gotten nervous before the surgery also so I guess it's pretty normal to have those thoughts, but it was over so fast it was amazing. It's been a week yesterday for me and I have had I suppose a normal recovery. One thing I did find out was if you feel nauseous but not in pain (which was how I felt), take pain med anyway, it has an affect on nausea plus you feel much better and feel more like moving around. The PA told me that and boy what a difference. Good luck!

I had mine June 1st. Sooo glad it's done.
