Sad about missing food
Mcgann320 replied to Mcgann320's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Aww thank you! That's encouraging -
I like Premier too. I've tried chocolate and strawberry- both are good but I don't like the strawberry anymore after surgery. But the chocolate tastes like a Yahoo chocolate drink! Not bad at all!

Sleeved on June 2, 2015

No! I am 8 days post op and can drink really fast too! My NUT told me that liquid empties out of your stomach in 2-3 seconds so you will be able to drink more. ???????? -
The first five days after surgery I slept sitting up, I felt it strained my muscles too much to lay down and hurt extremely worse to try to get up without help. After then I was able to lay down on the couch & use the cushions as support to get up. I'm 8 days post op and haven't had any pain for 2 days! Just hang in there... We all feel your pain!

Does anyone have any tips to getting all my protein in daily? I'm easily getting all my liquids in, except I'm not really tolerating protein drinks (they make me feel yucky). I'm eating Oikos Greek Triple Zero which is 15g of protein in one cup, but am looking for more options, anyone tried powdered milk as a source of protein? Any ideas?

I am one week post op today! I've felt the exact same everyday except today... Here's what I did differently yesterday- got in a little extra protein, drank a little extra water, and ate some of my Mimi's potato soup broth.. I think the extra calories helped!

Day 6 post op itchy red incisions
Mcgann320 replied to need change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine itch too, that's just our bodies way of growing healthy skin to heal them. Try putting the blow dryer on them for a few seconds on low! Feels good -

I was sleeved last Wednesday. So I am 6 days post op with no pain! But I've also followed all the direction of walking and it helps. The first three days are the worse! Then you will be able to feel your incisions each day getting better! I took pain medicine once after I got home on day two and was good after that. Just hang in there -
I'm a week out, full liquids

I am a week post op and have found when I feel weak I need to drink water! Or eating Greek yogurt and chicken noodle soup (strain the pieces) will help too!

Any teachers in here?!?
Mcgann320 replied to NJE123's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a kindergarten teacher, had my sleeve 6 days ago, Although I am in no pain, I get very tired easily. I would def say wait until Christmas break or summer break to have it (I know, more waiting) but you'll be glad you have several weeks just to rest... Your body will need it! -
I am in Muscle Shoals. Had my sleeve done 6/3/15 (last week) in Huntsville with Dr. mailapur. He is great and I am doing just fine!
