I'm so happy to find this forum! I had my surgery last Friday! And thus far I'm doing pretty good. I started 48oz Water and 20 oz Protein shake 3 days after. The Protein shakes I had chosen were not good for me at all! Caused unbearable chest pains. I thought something was seriously wrong but i knew i need the protein so i changed to a different brand and that helped the pain tremendously.
Did anyone else have this issue? The pain still isn't gone! just not as often and more dull.
I've lost 13lbs since surgery! Such a great feeling! I've battled my weight my whole life and knowing I've taken steps toward major change is very exciting!
