I like the premier Protein from costco or unjury powder myself. High in protein and yummy!! With the vanilla unjury you can add a tons of things to change the flavor too. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was starting to feel great and then last night I bent over the bath tub... Suddenly major cramp like pain starts under my right side and radiates down to behind my belly button. Major pain! This morning it still hurts but not as badly. Do you think I just pulled a muscle maybe? Pulled on inside incisions? I will call doc too, just wondering what you all thought.

I had French onion Soup tonight and seriously ate/drank the entire broth from the soup. We are talking Campbell's condensed soup. I guess I just feel guilty because I was able to finish it off. Anyone else know what I mean? I am 13 days post op btw. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you! I'm new to this like so many others and I guess I assumed I'd feel the same "fullness" I felt two days out with just Water. That makes me feel better. Now if I can't just break this stall... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I lost 21 lbs and then the past 3 days nothing. I know stalls happen. I know I am having problems getting in all of my Water and Protein. I assume this is why? Emotionally it just tends to feel like the scale will never move again. I just now feel better as far as pain goes and I'm 12 days out. Any other ideas? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you! And I suddenly feel able to take normal sized swallows. That's normal too, right? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved by Dr. Valentine on March 6th Sent from my iPhone using VST

Is this something I can have? If so do I purée or strain? I'm talking cream of potato , Campbell's condensed. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I love the broth from Campbell's beef vegetable Soup. I just don't eat the veggies yet. Is there any way I would be able to estimate any Protein or other stats in the broth? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Today I am 9 days post op and am down 22 lbs since surgery. Had my one week appt yesterday and no one was worried. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have one week Clear Liquids then two weeks full liquids then two weeks puréed. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I had my one week appt today sand asked about the tearing and burning feeling behind my belly button. Apparently I had scar tissue from previous surgeries that they went ahead and removed at the time of the vsg. And I asked why my Protein shake killed my tummy yesterday. They said I need to be taking my Prilosec every day for at least three months. I didn't know this somehow. So there we go... Questions answered. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I didn't even know that was possible. Things are slowing down now but that's okay. I know it's all going to work out Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved March 6th and since that day I have lost 20 lbs. crazy! I am focusing more on my fluid intake than protein. Yesterday's attempt at a shake made my sleeve twist and turn. Today is my surgeons appointment for a check up. We'll see what he says. I'm still having pain directly behind my belly button - searing, burning, almost tearing pain. Totally confused as to what it is. I am so ready to feel better!!!!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

... Today I am officially one week out and have lost 19 lbs. I know things will slow way down no matter what but I am trying to get my Protein in anyway. It's just so hard! It's so difficult just to get through one shake and for some reason today it just seriously made my stomach angry! How in the world do the rest of you pull it off? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you everyone!! I will definitely focus more on my hydration. I did have a one week pre op diet. Think I lost 5 lbs. when I say 19, that is all since surgery. I had the unfortunate pleasure of trying isopure last week. Now THAT is gnarly stuff. I think I'd rather attempt unflavored unjury in crystal light instead. Thank you again!

Those are the most obscene... And yummy looking shells lol!! You could really fill them with anything... I was thinking tomato and lettuce in the bacon one for having a super low carb blt!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am one full week post op today and the pain is a little better finally - knock on wood! It has been a rough week for me personally. It hurt to move, period. Trying to sit down, trying to stand up, it all hurt and felt like it was pulling hard right down behind my belly button. Not trying to scare you! I am still happy with my decision - down 19 lbs in one week! Just being honest about my own pain. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Okay new sensation here-whole new kind of pain! Sneezed for the first time just now. I tried to hold it in and it felt like it ripped my stomach in two! Stupid question but is there any way to stop sneezes? I have enough pain already without sneezing.... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am willing to try both! It killed me to walk just now. Now I'm trying to figure out how to change my toddler Sent from my iPhone using VST

I thought I was feeling better... And then out if nowhere I get this severe sharp horrible pain right down the middle of my tummy, right behind my belly button. I almost cried! Anyone else felt this? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Does that sound normal? Maybe it was all Water weight or my body just seriously wants to rid itself of fat? Hmmm. I am trying hard to get in my Protein and water but it is seriously hard so far. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Well I am 5'5" and day of surgery the scale said 239. This morning, it says 226. I just didn't expect it to come off so quickly. I certainly don't expect it to continue at this pace. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ugh. As I read these limitless threads where it seems most sleevers either gave no pain or are completely healed by day 3 I can't help but wonder what I must be doing wrong. Here I am in the very early hours of day 5 still needing painkillers and having to grimace through attempting to get up off the bed. Am I just a big baby? When will the pain lighten up already? I admit I am feeling a bit disheartened.
