    Clear Protein?

    yes I was able to have them
  5. Should have mentioned that I was sleeved May 3rd.
  6. I am doing very well to I also wondered if the surgery was really done but the scars are there to let me know and how little food it takes to fill me. 4 days after surgery I was at th gym on the treadmill, cleaning house, playing with the dogs, and going and seeing a friend. I love my sleeve and the doctor too for giving me a new life.

    Clear Protein?

    Sunkist Protein shots in 25 and 42 grams I mix with Water but you can drink the shot if you want to I thought it was a little think and sweet New whey protein shots same as above. You can get these at Vitamin stores or amazon.com They work a lot better for me to get my protein in

    The gallbladder only needs about a inch and half incision and would probably come out of one that they ate going make anyhow. it would depend on how many stones and how large they are. The pain from gallstones is pretty painful friends and hubby were rolling on the floor in sever pain. Just a thiught if they think it should come out now then consider it and save yourself another surgery

    Glad to hear you are doing good I had a hiatal hernia repair too. Glad the cyst were benign. I am 4 out and feeling terrific today I did a lot of running around and went to the gym for a walk on the treadmill. Thanks for letting us know make sure you get up and walk around. I could not do this until the day after probably why I was sore.

  20. I see you are in Tucson so am I. I had Dr Galvani he is wonderful and he is at UMC. He did my sleeve on May 3rd I went home on May 5th and I am doing great. He has a very good team. They are wonderful and very helpful. Keep in touch through your journey also they have a support group that meets every month. There is a support group in town they are a yahoo group : TUSWLS · TUCSON-Southern AZ WLS Support Group These guys are great and very informative they have all been through some kind of weight lose surgery one of the gals cam an visited me in the hospital. I felt very comfortable with them and will continue to go to the groups meet ups. Message me if you want to talk about it.

    If you have trouble taking small sips use a small spoon to help it is getting me through the small sips.
  23. I was lucky I did not have to have a stress test my EKG was very good so she signed me off as it was safe to have the surgery. Bit she did say that most have to have a stress test.

There is also a Protein mix that you can add to you broth and sugar free jello to help get in your protein.
