I'm 5 weeks out and a couple of days ago I started having this stinging pain on my left side that starts at the top of my rib cage and goes down to one of my incisions. It's worse when I bend or sit. The pain is not on top of my skin but beneath. Has anyone had similar pain?

Is it ok to have protein shakes and bars while doing the bootcamp?

I am still hurting but it does seem better today. I guess maybe I did strain something. Hopefully it will continue to get better. Thanks!

Wow you look wonderful!!!! What an inspiration!

I am in my 3rd week post opt and still on Protein drinks and cream soups. Today I've had bad heartburn so I took an anacid pill. Now it feels like it's stuck in the middle of my chest. I've been sipping water and I went for a 30 minute walk and it hasn't helped. Has this happened to anyone else before and do you have any suggestions that might help?

I was sleeved October 26th and I've lost 24 pounds since pre-diet. I have not been able to drink my protein shakes. They either get stuck going down (even with small sips), or make me nauseous. I have been able to drink my liquids. I have one more week of liquids and protein shakes and then I'll move to pureed foods. I've been feeling pretty good despite not being able to drink my protein. I'm still sore on the inside near my incisions. Anyone else have these issues?

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since my surgery. My doctor had me on clear liquids for a week. I am supposed to be on liquids, cream soups and protein shakes this week and next week. I cannot drink the protein shakes. I have tried several kinds but they either get stuck going down or they make me nauseous and upset my stomach. I'm worried I won't heal like I should with no protein for 3 weeks. Has anyone been through this or have any advice?

I was sleeved on October 26th and I've just started adding back my protein drinks and I'm having a hard time. None of the ones I liked before surgery taste good to me, in fact one of them made me nauseous. Every time I take a sip of one it feels very uncomfortable going down, no matter how small it is. I don't have any trouble getting liquids, broth, or cream soups down. Has anyone else had this trouble. I'm afraid about not getting in enough protein.

Thanks for everyone's comments! I'll just keep trying, and I'm sure it will get better.

I was sleeved on October 26th and I'm still having a lot of gas inside, especially underneath my left breast. Has anyone else had gas pains in the same area?

Hello! I am having my surgery in Mexico on October 26th and start my pre-op diet on October 16th. I'm very excited and a bit nervous! Best wishes to everyone!
