@Zoey716 Thank you so much!! I am sure I will be bugging you if you don't mind? A couple right off the back. Did you use the bariatric fusion shakes? I see you hospital stay was 3 days.. Cavaretta told me 2?

@alxmak1021 - I used bariatric fusion vanilla. It's best if you blend it in a blender. Comes out MUCH better. I also added sugar free flavored syrup (like coffee syrups). I also drank Pure Protein with added fiber. They sell them at Target for 7.99 (coupon in this weeks newspaper for $1 off!). They only have vanilla and chocolate and they are both good. The nutritional break down was pretty close to the fusion shakes so Synergy gave me the go ahead to split them. I drank half fusion and half pure protein.

I stayed in the hospital for 3 days because I had a bad reaction to the pain meds. I had horrible nausea and dry heaves for 2 1/2 days until we figured out it was the pain meds causing it. As soon as those stopped, I started to improve. I was also dealing with stomach spasms, which wasn't much fun. When i went home I was on anti nausea meds, a pill for the spasms, prilosec, and extra strength tylenol. Pills can be tough on your little sensitive tummy. Look for liquid extra strength tylenol. They sell it at CVS (their brand). Works great and it's one less pill to swallow!

@Zoey716 A friend of mine also suggested to buy the vanilla, so you can doctor it up a little with the syrups. I remember one of your posts saying that you were having a rough time but did not regret having it done. Thank you for being so helpful.
