PEvette

I saw them on tv last week while I was in the hospital....then I saw a VSG post-op person on you tube talk about them (I forgot her name), I was wondering have anyone on here heard of them and would recommend them for protien??

I dont know the scientific process, but I can say yes your taste buds do indeed change...alot of the protein drinks I had in my house before surgery makes me ill now

Thank you!!

I pray everything will work out in your best interests....a safe/complication-free surgery....

I'm 34 today....WOOWHOOT! Happy cupcake day to me!

I like them too, easy to carry around....

uumm, he got the vertical sleeve

my doc required me to do a 14 day liquid diet, but I started it a week early....so I did a 3 week pre-op....

Thank you so much for posting! I am a revision patient as well....1 week post op, and my Doc said the same about me and the weightloss will not be the same as virgin sleevers....I believe I will lose all of my weight....I thank you so much, you gave me hope! Thank you!

I wouldn't say lost my appetite, but by week 3, I wasn't interested in eatting food....I was focused on my procedure....

Hell, the surgery saved Star Jones' life...you know that VSG isn't RNY, you've done your homework....if what people say will have a big effect on you, just talk about it to the people who are important to you....the rest can watch later... This is suppose to be a positive process, not a negative one....

Dr. Sherman Yu of Texas Laparscopic Consultants or his partner Dr. Scarbrough, they both are really good, they that pre-op groups as well as post-op groups for patients to attend

well, I'm 6 days post-op now.....I was told not to pick -up or stoop to the floor for anything, I can't hold anything that is heavier than a gallon of milk....and I'm not allowed to drive as long as I was taking the prescribed pain pills.... I live alone, but I have family who lives within 5 min of me and they stop by to check on my daily....I actually stayed with my aunt when I was released for about a day...and I've been at my home every since.... I would say you will need someone to be around you for atleast the first week....after that, as long as you have some who can call if you need something should help

Thanks, I'm 6 day post op and I woke up this morning extremely weak, and I think its because I haven't ate anything really all week....I really wish I could read regular food now, but I'm on full liquids until the 27th....

not everyone does a pre-op...it depends on your starting weight...

Wow congrats on your lost so far...I know you are upset about the situation with your legs, I'm sorry that happened to you, and I hope you get that resolved ASAP...

Good job!!! you did great!!

DOnt mess up your posture...I agree with the others, if you need to hold your stomach as you move around...I'm fortunate that my doc made his cuts above my waist line so I wear me PJs fine....just try not to wear anything fitting your waist...like yoga pants...

I'm going to have to try this because nearly all of the protien shake powders I have taste aweful right now.... Maybe this can get me through my last week of full liquids..

WWHHOOO HOOO Shout out to June 20th...my birthday!!! Yeah...beautiful day guys, you are going to do well!!! Wishing you a safe surgery and speedy recovery!!! YEAH June 20th ROCKS!!!!

I'm having the same issues....also having motivation to eat...I just dont feel like doing it....I know I'm suppose to, but I don't everything tastes salty and nasty....ugh
