I have tried a lot of different protein products. The premier are the best by far.

My stall was at week three for 3 weeks! Most people have one early on.

How rude of the people you work with! I do not understand people like that!

Yes to both! I stalled around 3 weeks post op for about 3 weeks.

Thank you! This is very helpful!

Four weeks out, I have not lost anything in a week ....so depressing.... I am trying to get all of my protein in but having trouble getting in 60 grams... Doing good on getting in my liquids....haven't been released to exercise yet, but trying to walk some everyday......ugh,... sure what to do...

It did not hurt at all and it felt do great to have it out!

I had a sinus infection at 7 days post op and was given antibiotics. I did not have any problems taking the pills.

Yay! I am glad you are feeling great! Plenty of room on the loser's bench!

I am so glad you are doing well! There is plenty of room for you on the loser's bench

Good Luck!

I did. I must admit it was uncomfortable that first week. I had it removed exactly one week after surgery. I feared having it removed because I thought it would hurt! I was pleasantly surprised though, it took all of 2 seconds and did not hurt. I can do so much more with out the drain!

How many protein shakes did you drink a day ?

Thanks everyone. I am 6 days post op and have been on all clear fluids. Tomorrow I start full liquids...little nervous about getting all of my protein in.

Hi All! The surgery went well on the 12th. I have to say the 1st night was rough....the doc gave me morphine for pain ... Only took two doses of 1mil. Was more scared of throwing up than the pain. I developed sinus congestion and ended up dry heaving the second night. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. By last night, I was feeling better. Still having trouble getting to sleep because of the drain but for the most part, I have no pain. Trying to get all of the liquids down. Not hungry at all. Hope everyone else is doing good!

Today's the big day. Ready to get this over with! Praying that my surgery and recovery will go well. Post more after surgery :)Good luck to everyone else who is having surgery today! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi All - I am new to this forum but have been reading post for a while! I have one week to go til surgery and ready ! The pre op diet has been difficult.. Thankfully the headaches are not as bad as the first few days.I really miss chewing. Did anyone else go through that ? Anyone else having surgery on April 7?

Ok Ladies! Just 1 1/2 more days to go! Praying that we all have a great surgery and speedy recovery.

Glad I am not the only one! Praying that we all have an easy surgery and recovery! Can't wait to see us shedding pounds !

I just realize I said April 7th, but its actually the 12th! I can't wait to see us shed the pounds!

My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, April 12th!
