I'm so glad that I had my gallbladder removed years ago! They were painful on their own. Can't imagine having that done on top of wls.

WOW, you look really good, keep up the good work!!

Brandywine, Maryland

I take the Yoplait smoothie which has 1 protein, 8 oz if 2% milk which is 8, then I use 1/2 package Advocare Very Berry shake which is 12 proteins. So for my shake I get 21 protein. They are really good. I like the strawberries and bananas. They also have chocolate and bananas.

Hello all, I am 1 week post op and had been having a hard time getting my water in. I tried everything so today I tried unsweetened iced tea. I don't know why but it goes down sooo much better.

@alliecat, Yes I am also tired of protein shakes and water too. I guess because I was drinking them before I actually had to that now i'm sick if them. I tried the Lipton tea and honey with mango and pineapple and the lemon, they are pretty good and I can usually drink the while cup, just takes awhile. @James no it wasn't a question just stated a thought to see others view, I guess I did just leave it out there in left field...LOL!!

I had my surgery on the 12th and had my first post op appt today with surgeon. I asked if I could have coffee and he said YES!!!

I am 5 days post op and I am having a hard time with drinking water. Everytime I sip I get a hard ball feeling in my chest. I know this will past just wondering about others experience who are only a few days out.

I know I found I can drink better the warm water than one rught out refrigerator.

Thanks all, that's the thing I take baby sips that's why it takes so long to drink a bottle. I know it will get better was just wondering if others feel the same way, I see dr tomorrow so i'm making my list of questions now. Thanks everyone

Good luck and have a safe and speedy recovery!

I might change my mubd was ready somwone threw up the aopkesauce at 28 days out, don't want that to happen, so I may be having cream of chicken soups, but why do u have to strain it, does it have any chicken in it, this is my first time so I don't know?

Who many days are you post op? I was gonna try some tonight, i'm 4 days post-op.

Well I still cant get all the water in. Tonight for dinner i'm having mashed potatoes and natural applesauce. Glad these are considered full liquids since I can swallow and not chew much, just make potatoes a little bit wetter. @new grandmother...YES, I know today I didn't do much just cooked and sat in the yard fir a few hours with my daughters. Believe me I learned my lesson.

@wallman, that's cute I like Oscar, @ newgrandmother I had the same feeling with the popcicle, I couldn't do it. Right now i'm eating oatmeal and my sleeve seems to tolerate it pretty good. I think I may have over done it today. Went to a few nursery with my parents looking for a white crype myrtle then to the grocery store. Not to mentioning climbing in and out of a expedition truck, no I had to come home and take 2 percocets. I am staying my butt home tomorrow!!!

I work @ a hospital and i am thw secretary so I have no heavy lifting or anything but U dud take 2 1/2 weeks if just ti get use ti my new sleeve and how I can tolerate my diet, I may go back early, I don't know yet, depends on if I get bored or not!

Really, I can't see anyone being about to get 64 oz of water in, I can barely get one bottle. Yesterday I hade 1 popcicle, 1/2 of my atkins protein shake then I had some cream brocolli and cheese soup. I felt my stomach cramp up but just a little gas came out, no BM as of yet. Today i'm having cream of wheat with evaporated milk and it went done pretty good. I'm gonna try my vitamin zero water and see if that helps me with my 64 oz of water. I find it very helpful to take my zofran (nausea med) about 15 -20 min befire I eat. I wish all of us the continued success we are having and continue to post updates please.

Yeah I made it over. I had my sleeve done yestetday and I feel great. Waiting to have my leak test today around 10. Little pain and i'm just starting to feel a little nausea. I will keep u guys posted thru out my day.

Hey everyone, tolerated protein shake, now i get ti go hime yeah for me!!

I cant eat yet, they brought me a tray in but when i tried to drink juice my mouth got real watery, didn't throw up though. Have u eaten yet?
