  1. I settled on Primer Protein, but i am still trying others
  2. I am 6 days post op and I have been shitting alot!! My doctor said to call him if i have more then 3-6 liquid stools in a 24 hour period and today i have had 7 i don't want to go back to the hospital and my kids don't want me to go back is this normal?? Anything i can do to change it. I have been able to get liquids and protein in. Not all my protein but I am up to 2 shakes a day as of now and my urine is still pale yellow so I am not dehydrated. I know this is so gross but I don't know where else to ask and I don't want to call my doctor over something that he is going to tell me is normal or related to not getting in enough protein.
  3. I actually said the same thing to him. And even went as far as to refuse to purchase the 60$ protein powder he wanted me to buy. I know that he gets a pay out for pushing product. I bought the minimal before post op and i bought only what I wanted after. And now I am not even using his products nor will i be purchasing anymore. A friend of mine had the sleeve done at a different place and they didn't make her buy anything. And the messed up thing about it all is that they make you feel like if you don't buy what they say you need then they will cancel your surgery. Live and Learn, I wish I would have explored more doctors. But I was just so excited to get it done I wont say it was a bad experience just one that seemed a little shady in some areas. So far with my after care they have been great but we will see if that changes at my two week check up Thursday.
  4. no turns out it was my gas drops but the protein drinks that i get are ones that my doctors office sells and its in the form of a soup or shake that you add water too... thats all i have had since surgery and i am so sick of it already i want to try others but my doctor ( because he gets a pay out for pushing the product they sell ) is really strict about only there stuff for the 1st two weeks so on the 4th i can start my soft things like cottage cheese and yougurt and I cant wait!!!!
  5. Turns out mine was from my gas drops! so yeah now I'm not taking them and i am scared that i am going to start having gas issues again.

    What about him did you like the most? I am going to be having my surgery done by him on the 19th of this month.. so much what i have seen of him he has been nice and pleasant. I am excited to be on the losers bench as well and it makes me feel better that i have finally found someone that has had him as a surgeon. What was your after diet like? Did you buy there food or do your own? and what about pain??? Sorry for so many questions.
  7. Hi, I'm just trying to find someone that is going to be having surgery the same day as I am in hopes to make friends so were can keep each other going when times get rough! You don't even have to be in my area!
  8. that goes for anyone if you want to change phone numbers or email adresses so we can stay in touch better while we go through the process and surgery just send me a message and we can start chating
  9. I know i cant wait to hear back from you ladies in like 6 months and see where you are then!! good luck?? would you be interested in being friends, or texting ...
  10. yeah!! its coming up quick for us! I am super nervous and exited all rolled into one! I am ready to get my life back! I am from Michigan and will be having it in Grand Rapids, what about you?
  11. Whoohoo!! lol i am so glad that more people are going to be going through this on the same day i am, it makes me less scared! I am from michigan what about you?
  12. I would like to too, we could be friends on here i am even willing to give someone my number so we could text each other so often just to see how they are doing or if they are staying on track and maybe share tips or just to say motivated...
  13. I am super nervous its coming up really quick! but i have been losing weight with my pre-op diet so that makes me super excited to start this journey but I am so scared at the same time. I think I am more afraid to fail after surgery though if that makes sense.
