Coffee after Sleeve - 8 days pre op too soon?
Elode replied to Sleeve101's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@Sleeve101 Well like everyone says its full of sugar and you don't want that. Stevia makes pumpkin spice Drops if you can find them you could make your own version of a spice latte or you could just add them to a vanilla protein shake! -
@@kelseycakes20 I think most surgeons don't mind you having Decaf coffee but I hear Nectar Protein has a fabulous cappuccino flavored protein powder mix so if you just love coffee you may want to check it out PLUS you will Be getting protein, win win!

4 post op Vsg and need help!
Elode replied to Beanz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Beanz Most people can't get 48oz in right off the bat. Just keep your water with you at all times And sip even if you don't feel like it do it anyways! Put some flavoring in your water if it helps. I'm almost a month out and water is still harder for me to drink than say protein shakes, I don't know Why it just is. Do you like coconut water? If you do ask your surgeon if it's allowed....plain coconut WATER they sale it at Walmart. Coconut water is a super hydrator. I didn't have the gas but I used the extra strength gas strips, they dissolve on your tongue. I used them "just in case". drink! Set a timer if you need a reminder almost every phone has one! Good luck, keep your head up and keep at it, it will get easier as the days goes by! Oh and there's no crying in VSG land now cut that out! : )- -

GAINING weight first week post-op? What's happening?
Elode replied to Jessica Santos's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Follow your plan and what your team has instructed you to do. What you should do right now is just focus on recovering. You just had surgery and your body has gone through a lot of trauma. Everything will even out. Don't stress, stay off the scale, drink your fluids, protein ect... You will be just fine! -
Happy thanksgiving!
