Abracadabra

Mine was the 23rd and im still pure liquids and no shakes 60 - 80oz a day. I do have my appt tomorrow and Im begging something changes tomorrow along with this tube in my side. The only thing I plan on trying are those nectar protein drinks that way you have more protein with the water you would be drinking and thats also hoping one of them will taste good to me. Good luck meggs

I think reading what you all wrote makes my stomach feel better, I mean just thinking of eating a chopped up hamburger, tuna, or chicken right now would be great. Im glad you posted the question for everyone so I can take notes.

Had mine on 8\23\11 and they let me leave using amobile air tank, taking the pain meds along with some white powder for acid or somthing oh and keep track of drainage from the tube. throughout each day and night a keep waking up with ongoing pains around stomach and something like hickups usually after I try drinking my sips of Water or liquids they hit really hard and I grab for the pillow to hold over stomack, they told me I needed 80oz a day. So does after 5 days this could still be normal? I really have not ate anything cause the sugar free has such a strong sugar taste I dont like it so I stick with diluted juice and water. Im REALLY hoping the sips Im taking are just being pushed back up from the sleeve and it will stop, cause the nexiam powder or whatever its called doesnt that at all. Thanks if you have any ideas

Hello everyone I finally decided to register for the site after the lastfew months of just stopping by. I started myadventure around December/January this year and have taken forever. Most of myissues came when my insurance company let me know they were missing thingsafter they get submitted but oh well I guess that’s the way they are. I couldgo down a long list of problems I had in the process but needless to say I havemy procedure on 8/23/2011 @ 0800. Sometimes I feel I want to jump forward intime to have it all done and be skinny again and able to go running and then Iwake up lol. I have been on the liquid diet my Doctor put me on for twoweeks which was broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jell-O, juices, and notto forget my protein shakes which is 52g @ 320cal twice a day. I have messed upand ate some chicken noodle soup 3 times and a couple bites of cottage cheese,but all in all I’m hoping its ok, granted after that I’m thinking to myself “didyou really need that”. Still two more days plus a couple days in hospital, thenvacation for two weeks if we can call it a vacation L

Morning All Hi Kami, I hope all goes well Guess its off to walmart to find me something for the next couple days along with some slippers or something to wear. On a side note I wish I had read closer about the Stntrax packets having no fat or carbs sooner and almost the same protein. I would have ordered a sampler sooner and probably lost a few more pounds, better late than never I guess. I could probably look through here and find this but how long did most wait till they went bike riding or exercising, a week?
