I used to do 4 - 6 oz of broth it filled me along with the protein shakes

Omg I just went to the doctor and I'm 18 lbs down only 1 week post op...I'm so excited. I was so happy to be 276 on the scale...I wanted to jump for joy!!

thanks now that I have the drain out I feel normal again. I'm still cautious on moving but i don't feel like I smell and I can go out now!!! I'm so happy!!

I'm finally getting my drain removed after a week and a day..Now normal life can resume!! I'm petrified of the pain though

I was thinking about takin medication going there, I have to take two and I think i have two left..my dog jumped on me yesterday and it was a pain pill day which royally sucked

thank you for that..I'm so anxious and even started crying last night in fear of the pain.

Iska where in ny? I'm from ny too

Sassy you made me feel better my doc sed glue too, I was thinking I was the only one. I was sleeved on feb 11, and I'm itchy as hell. They must've used ape n my boobs and I had quite a reaction to that.

We're in nj knowledge? I had my surgery in englewood.

Kim Surgery for me went well, and I was walking to the bathroom that day. My doc left in a drain for a week for precautionary measures. I'm still very sore. Showering is very difficult. It's also hard to remember to sip every 5 min. Honestly the pain is minimal but it is just uncomfortable. Hope all goes well for you.

How many grams of protein should we be getting with 5 days post op?

I'm actually at 63g of protein e cause I se skim plus which my nut said it was ok.

I'm close o 64oz. I just started drinking the protein because I felt so hungry and had been puking a few times. My doc has said to get the protein in, so I just wasn't sure how much.

Next time I'm going to the salon for a wash and blow its worth the 35 bucks lol

I didn't have one either, it concerned me but the doc said don't worry about it

Hey everyone I was sleeved on the 11th. I have now puked twice since leaving the hospital. I'm on the clear liquids and I'm getting so bored of water, chicken broth, jello and ice pops. Things definitely taste different now. My tummy is still sore, especially after puking. Now I have developed a slight cough which doesn't feel good. I go to the doc tues and get my drain removed. I can't wait until I can eat purreed food. One of my wounds actually is slightly open doctor says it's ok that it happens sometimes, the body rejects the glue. I find the hardest thing is showering. Washing my hair for the first time was quite a challenge, my poor husband was so frustrated.

gin1120 is my uswermame

I was sleeved on Monday and my throat is killing me, the doctor says its from the breathing tube..how long did everyone else'Sbother them?

My tongue looks normal..I got back to the doc on Tuesday hopefully he will have answers

Jessica I was sleeved Monday as well. The isopure protein drinks are pretty gross. i just got home today. Taking a shower was difficult, I too keep forgetting to take sips

I'm getting sleeved the 11th too, where r u going? Good luck!

My surgery is actually next monday 2/11

Thanks...luckily my insurance pays for the surgery. My husband has a government job so we have good benefits. Good Luck with yours.

No pre-op preperation..I was actually searching for surgeons in my area and this doctor and his two brothers have a practice together, and I didn't want to have the surgery in my local hospitals and found that this practice has right at Englewood, and yes I believe it is Englewood hospital
