I'm 4 weeks post op and having an awful time with constipation! Any recommendations on what to take? What works best?? I need relief soon! (

I drink the RTD Premiere Chocolate Protein from Sams Club! Its the only one that taste good to me....I'm glad you found one that you like!

Oh I hear ya loud and clear, my husband says im obessed and I am....i have learned so much from here though! I also go to another site OH but I like this one so much better....

Thank you for the info! I really dont want to spend a lot of money experimenting so I will hopefully learn to like what I have! I saw you have a son that wants to play sports at the College level, I have 2 boys, both have graduated from college now and both played college football....i miss those tailgaiting/game days! had a great time!

I'm 13 days post op and I'm struggling to get my protein in now, I can do Unjury CHicken Soup and thats about it....I have tried several types of protein powder and I'm getting nauseated trying to drink them. The RTD Premiere CHoclate is ok but my taste for chocolate has diminished. Would anyone suggest the Isopure Zero Carb protein from GNC? I know im going to the next level of food after Tuesday (not sure what i will eat during mushy stage) but I still need to find a protein drink.

I have been craving a dill pickle for 2 days now! No not preggo just want a pickle and I'm only 2 weeks out! Ugh!!! Idk how to overcome this craving either!

My surgery was August 6 2012, i have never had surgery before either so i was very concerned about what to expect, Day 1= had some nausea when I woke up from recovery, pain=5, gas=5...i slept most that day! Day 2= pain=5 Day 3=pain 4 Day 4 Pain 4 Each day is better and better, i was surprised at how little pain and nausea i had. There is heartburn that comes along with it but it can be controlled with a PPI...I'm feeling wonderful now! But honestly my pain was not unbearabale at all.....and i dont handle pain well either!

I'm 8 days out and trust me it gets better, I was having a very hard time with fliuds or getting anything down! I sipped, walked, and sipped.....i slept alot too, still napping during the day but when you hear that each day is better it really is and I was able to drink more each day too...hang in there! Your on your way now to a better life!

I'm heading to GNC this morning, need to get some walking in so the mall is a great place to do that....anything i should look for while im there??? any cant live without items? what about recommendations for protein powder?

I also had surgery on August 6th and came home yesterday, feeling better each day! Stomach is very sore and I'm sipping ,resting and walking as much as i can......lots of gas pains in the chest area...ready to get on with this journey!

I just had surgery on Monday, the first day was rough but the nurses are great and the meds are there to help you though the pain....day 3 here and im home and feeling much better....im walking all over the place now, thinking about going to do a little shopping tomorrow but taking it slow......you can do it....im a very nervous person and worry about everything too but i was fine and you will be too....relax relax relax!

I had surgery Monday, I'm not getting in a lot of liquids and i sleep a lot, i feel very fatigued and everyone i have ask says this is normal.....hang in there....we will feel better soon!

Good Luck to all of you! I'm leaving soon for the hospital.....what an exciting day! Can't wait to get this done and get on with the journey! Prayers are with you all...... Mary

Hey sleeve sista.....my surgery is tomorrow too.....so excited as well, good luck with yours and wish you a speedy recovery!
