Hi everyone! Here I am 5 days post op. what a great forum, am so glad I found it! Anyone here just have the procedure? If there are any questions I'm willing to share my info...just not sure where to start

Thank you guys! I think I was having a really bad day yesterday lol! I'm sure there will be more but I'm putting my big girl panties on and thinking of the end result. Love the support on this forum

Gah! I'm not sure I can last another two weeks on this liquid diet. I am feeling like a cranky infant that wants to eat and chew and swallow something (other than soup and yogurt). Does anyone else think 6 weeks is a long time for stage 2?

I found a Protein I like to make at home. It's called pure protein and its $10 at my grocery store for a big container. The chocolate tastes like ur being bad and it's soooo good, the vanilla tastes like cake batter which I'm not really a fan of lol. 140 cals 3G fat, 80mg chol, 320 mg potassium, 4 carbs, 2 sugars and 25g of protein for one scoop. I usually put one scoop in a cup of skim u have also tried the pre made version of these and they are too sweet for my liking.

I am 6 days post-op and am having a very hard time getting my fluids in every time I take a wee little sip I cramp up. I have tried cold, room temp and hot. My Protein is the worst. Has anyone had this happen? How did you get through it?

I think sometimes meds can make you bottle up. It took me a few days too

I am happy to read it's not just me I was sleeved 6 days ago and have been freezing too

I also used the patch, it was placed behind my ear. I also needed it added to my IV drip do not touch the patch and rub your eyes...it will dialate them like you are at the eye doctor I am very much looking forward to finding my old body again too!

I did eat several meals like that too but didn't overdo it. If u want it, have it but remember u still have to lose I started the pre op diet a little early to get used to the portions so I wasn't she'll shocked
