Before surgery I had no issues with special k, after surgery I just could not tolerate it. I thought maybe I had become lactose intolerant, so I used the injury products and stayed away from milk. Are your protein drinks milk based? I was sleeved on February 14...

Do you think to protein drinks are giving you diarrhea? After my surgery certain shakes sent me right to the bathroom, and I was dizzy all the time because I was getting zero calories. I started drinking unjury chicken soup flavored protein, as well as unflavored protein powder in zero calorie lifewater. It seemed I could only tolerate warm or room temp drinks. I am three months post op and a few brands of protein shakes still do not agree with me...maybe you can try a few different brands and see if you can tolerate a specific brand. For me, the pure protein brand is best tolerated... but if I have a special k shake I am running to the bathroom within 15 minutes!

Good job! That is wonderful!

I have two big tubs of clothes in my attic that I have saved. It is really awesome to pull stuff out that was way too small just two short months ago, which now fit! I have some clothes stashed away in a variety of sizes, stuff that I paid too much for to part with, so I will have a few things to wear for the next few size changes. But once I get to a size 10 I am planning a MAJOR shopping spree!

Totally normal, I was the same way. Room temperature or warm liquids go down a lot better than cold. I sipped alot of warm tea and chicken broth for the first few weeks. Don't get discouraged, it does get better!

Please add me, DebbieB825. I need friends to keep me motivated!
