I have been stalled for past 2 months which is frustrating. I have a hard time getting the recommended protein in which I've been told can cause a stall. Otherwise I feel great.

How long will Nausea/cramping last?
sunshine4ever posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just 2 days post op and wondering when the intermittent nausea/cramping last? I have been walking and doing everything right I just can't handle the nausea part. I'm so afraid of throwing up and hurting the sleeve! -
Preop Countdown Begins
sunshine4ever replied to MsVictorious1020's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How are you doing post-op? I feel better than I expected! For as nervous as I was it was a GREAT experience. I highly recommend my surgeon and the facility in Mexico to anyone else who is paying cash like me! Top notch facility and staff! -
How long will Nausea/cramping last?
sunshine4ever replied to sunshine4ever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It gradually is getting better. Thanks everyone. -
I ended up having surgery on April 2nd instead but I'm feeling decent.... Better than I anticipated . However I still get some cramping and nausea. I'm walking n getting around otherwise ok. Personally I'm not using a sippy cup I've been using a teaspoon or just taking small sips n doing well with that. I'm preferring warm or room temp liquids as the cold ones really bother me in the smallest amount.

So exciting! My surgery is tomorrow. I'm a little nervous as I'm having it in Mexico but I've heard good things about doc. I'm siting at airport now getting ready to board my final flight. I have all my pre-op testing this afternoon. Good luck to you and I will see you on the "sleeved side" -

Nervous as heck and praying I made the right decision (going to Mexico part especially. Ooo n I'm frustrated too because I have gained weight on pre-op diet!! I'm mean really who does that!!!

I'm new too! My surgery is April 3. I have proteinex liquid protein that is lemon lime flavored that you add to water. I add a packet of crystal light n can drink it without a problem. There is 18g protein in 2 tablespoons. I personally can't stomach the vanilla or chocolate mixes however I can drink the Atkins chocolate shakes. They are like watered down milk. Good luck
