this all sounds so familiar to me!i went thru the same thing not to bad tho when I told people my orthopedic told me do what you have to because if you don't you will need a double knee replacement in 5 yrs.on te other hand my hubby is also getting the surgery in a couple of weeks.and his family are all heffers!!!of course he at 44yrs old is on meds for blood pressue and cholestral.mentime the mother eho is 400lbs plus and the sister looks like her twin telling hime now,oh your not that big and your blood preesure is normal and chlostrol is low!!im screaming of course it is because he is on meds you idiots!!are they jealous?noppe,they just have to against what anyone including doctors tell him he should do this.ps his other sister is a PA and thinks he shouldn't be on any meds!!

I take protenix everyday and have been for the past three months.ive always needed something for heartburn and acidy tummy.im 2 weeks post op and I plan on staying on it for a long time!my sleeve screams every morning about 6am that is wants its drug!!!!

why aren't you on pureed foods yet>I was on them the day after surgery.and you would lov the ricotta bake!!

genepro.I orderedit from amazon and got it fast.i think about $40 free shipping.1 tbsp. 30 grams.i put t in my decaf coffee and its great!no taste at all!!

I put a tablespoon in my decaf coffee and theres no taste or smell.its great to put in your water too and your getting both benefits!

im 10 days post up and feeling fantastic!i have lost 16lbs already!!!woohoo!

i had mine removed with my vsg and im 8 days post op and feeling fantastic!!I had an ultra sound done on it and I had gallstones.i had larproscopic surgery thru my belly button and gall bladder and stomach came out of the single incision.

im 1 week out and ive been on purees from the day after surgery.i do 2 to 3 protein shakes a day and im able to eat 2x a day.about 2 or 3 tsps. of soup or chile.I luv being able to just taste something and not want eat a hole lot of food!!!no problems,some indigestion but nothing tums wont help!i also take protenix every morning and it keeps the acids at bay.alot of the hunger your feeling is mostly the acids in your new belly.

first couple days are rough but it gets much easier day by day.im 6 days post op and get all my water in and protein.i drink premier I luv it.30 grams protein in an 11oz container.thats also goes to fluids.2 or three a day is perfect.i ordered unflavered protein to put in my water and soups and its 30 grams per teaspoon!!!wow that's incredible!

im 6 days post op and waiting until my dr apt next Thursday to weigh myself.i do try on several sets of pants a day tho!!!lol!!im not able to button anything because im still so swollen from the gases.i had my gall bladder remove also so maybe I got more gas then usual!!but legs and butt area feel a little looser!hoping mynext week I can button something up!

oh I so hope I can go in the pool by 4 weeks!!im going to Disney world on oct 31 and I really want to enjoy the resort too!!

oh boy I cant wait!!!

I take 1 tums sometimes 2 a day for calcium support.im 5 days post op!

long island,ny.5 days post op and feeling fantastic!!!

cant imagine why not.i luv mine and there sweet berry kind and I feel like im having a dessert!!!I would think as long as your getting some kind of vitamins its fine and its only temporary until you can swallow a reg one.

you just read my mind!im actually 5 days post up and am having my first cup of decaf.im dying for a regular cup of coffee!!couple more weeks!i didn't stop my 3 cups a day of caffeine until the day before my surgery when I was on all clear.my dr wanted me to stop 2 weeks before but I just couldn't!too much to give up a once!!food,wine,coffee,cigerettes and coffee what!!!lol

my dr starts you on pureed foods day after surgery as long as leak test is good.trust me Water and Protein shakes are much more consuming then 2oz of tuna!!!I had to do a 2 week pre op all liquids and I don't even miss food right now!!!

Hi all,just got sleeved 0ct 6th and feeling pretty good.doc started me on pureed foods day after surgery.im doing good with water and protein shakes and 1 pureed chicken salad.2oz,more then enough!just wondering howlong everyone waited to weigh themselves after surgery.im so full of gas I don't feel that ive lost anything yet!i know 4 days isn't long enough and im really going to hold out until my doc apt at 10 days post up.but just wondering if anyone lost right away!

totally holding off on weighing myself.i will be 11 days post op for first dr vsit.then I go back 4 weeks post up.that will be the day before Disney world for a week!then I pack everyone on the plane home and im going down to ft Lauderdale for a week to relax on the beach!!yep all about me now!!!

OMG I am also having this at 4 days post op.i remember the nurse telling me that the gas they put in you is going to find every nook and cranny to escape and I was thinking maybe this is why its happening??im in meno so theres no pms here going on!!

@chellede ,you are !!don't worry about anyones feelings except your own! @dana825.im 3 days post op and feeling okay.i was in hospital overnite and thet broght me chicken broth,tea,cranbury juice and water for breakfast.1 sip each!lunch was tuna,creamy chicken broth,decaff tea and water again 1 taste each!i got 1 premier choc in today,took 6hrs to drink it.had a 1/4 cup chicken salad pureed with broth.still working on my smart water from 8 am.thats 33oz.and walk walk walk

im 3 days post op and im hoping for at least 20lbs n a month!pre surg liquid diet I managed to lose 9 lbs but it wasn't until the last few days that my scale budged past the 6lb mark!im not weighing myself until all my bloat and gas is gone!!hoping my dr follow apt next week!

had mine on the 6th along with gall bladder.feeling better then I thought.morhine made me nausaus but they tried all the meds for it and nurse gave me a suppository and that is what helped!came home yesterday after I was able to hold down chicken brith for breakfast 2 teaspoons,and had to small forks of tuna for lunch.after 2 weeks of liquids before surgery im on purees already.not trying anything else until I can get water and proptien drinks down!
