Back In Hospital

I had two c sections and just recently had my sleeve on June 7th. Honestly, the only major discomfort from the surgery I had was gas pains but I walked, walked, and walked some more. And , of course, lived on gas x strips. The recovery from the sleeve is much easier than a c-section. If you are askin which is easier it is SLEEVE by far!!!

I had trouble finding one too. I ended up tolerating the Ensure high protein creamy milk chocolate. Maybe try it out. it has 25 g of protein per drink!! -
Help Pls Need Advice !
tiffany bowen replied to Ready2Bthin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going through what you are too! I had my sleeve on June 7th. I just started drinking high protein ensure the creamy milk chocolate and it is helping me to get my protein in. The nausea has also stopped since I quit trying to eat solids and just concentrating on fluids and protein. I read on here that everyone's sleeve is different and got the idea of waiting a little longer before eating solids. Maybe you might want to give it a try too. Hope you feel better soon!! -
Muscle milk was too thick for me. You might want to buy one and test it first. I ended up starting with special k packets with protein that u add to water.

Moving On To Phase 2?
tiffany bowen replied to tiffany bowen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks guys!! -
has anyone else had trouble going from liquid to puréed stage? It seems every time I eat anything other than liquids I feel nauseous. Any suggestions?
-
It's ok!!! Just pick yourself up and keep going!! I am the same way, as far as the head hunger. I didn't realize how much my head controlled my eating until having this surgery!! Good luck in the future. Maybe next time just try to eat the toppings off the pizza. That wouldn't be quite as bad, right???

Reviewing Mds In Mexico And Facilities
tiffany bowen replied to skane10's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I went with dr. Almanza and was satisfied. My only suggestion to you would be to go alone so you can stay at the recovery house. I am already planning on going back for mommy makeover. -

Do Your Taste Buds Ever Go Back To "normal"?
tiffany bowen replied to Luwanna's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was so glad to find this!! I thought I was just overreacting. Lol my taste buds have changed ALOT since having surgery. Orange Gatorade and mango madness snapple are the only thing that keep me hydrated. It's nice to know there is hope and I am looking forward to some type of normal. -
It's tried this and it was great. Blueberry yogurt Cottage cheese Banana Fuze peach mango And ice Yummmm!!!!! And protein!!

Can't Take The Protein Drinks, Also Getting Dehydrated

Today I am 5 days post-op and it feels like I'm on cloud 9. I am going through and reading all the threads and seeing such great ideas!! Last Monday I flew home to Texas. I miss my support system!! So I thought I'd join in here. The weather is REALLY affecting my recovery!! It seems when I get hot I get sick instantly. :/ I am going to add in more exercise as soon as I get these stitches healed to help speed things up.
