Oh my Christy sorry this is happening to you. Hope you get better soon. How will they take care of the issue? Thinking about you.

FYI, sometimes after this surgery you become lactose intolerant. I cant mix my shakes with milk or I get sick.

I was put on nexium for 6 months and warned not to miss one dose. I am still on full liquids but see the nut tomorrow and hopefully can move to the next stage. The last few days I have been feeling the liquid go down which is strange as this had gone away. Smaller sips. I am ready to be off the liquids as I am not meeting my goal with the protiens or water. Still a little sore in one place, went back to work full time Monday. Smoothie king has a smoothie that was on my "approved" list. Been going there daily .this is my 5th week of liquids, pre-op and post op. down around 15 lbs,

Smoothie king is awesome. I can't drink the shakes if they have milk in them.

I also had surgery on the 20th. Down about 17 lbs, returned to work full time today. Still on full liquids, will find out Thursday when I can advance. Not getting enough Protein in. Worried bout my air falling out. Smells can make me sick. Over all I am feeling good.

Wow I am going back to work Thursday . I started full liquids today. That's amazing you went back to work so soon.

I also feel ever sip. I can't start full liquids until Monday. Still sore but getting my fluids in via decaf tea and broth. Water well I never liked water. I also have a hard time finding a good position to sleep in. Post op appointment said everything was good. Everyday gets easier.

Ginger, how did your surgery go??

I am so glad I found this thread. I am 4 days out and not feeling great. Look forward to feeling better soon. Thanks for all the responses

Me either . My doctors office told me to start using a straw, been a big help. But the contrast has also caused me problems.

If you were sleeved Monday wondering how you are doing. I am very sore, cannot take the pain meds. Please share your journey

Ginger, Mine is Monday also. I have to be on clear fluids over the weekend. I am scared and nervous also. Good luck to you

I am on day 12 of my preop diet. I had to go off my oral meds and switch to a sliding scale. I also discovered that Splenda raises my blood sugar and my protien shakes has that in there.

Yeah, so excited for you. Mine in scheduled for Monday.
