I just bought Celebrate orange flavor with iron tastes good but everytine I took it as soon as it hit mt stomach I woukd vomit... waste of my money:(

Does anyone know if some leaks heal on their own? Also is shoulder pain severe and constant?

I have been having slow recovery and issues with food/water. But my biggest problem is if I walk too much I am in pain! My incision sites start hurtin and burning and then in pain rest of the day. How much are you walking tee murray? (If you don't mind me asking) Thanks:D

I am 11 days out now since surgery. I am tolerating fluids and puree ok. But still sore and tired (moving slow soreness/pain with movement around incisions). I see others back to work after a week. There is NO WAY I could work right now. Have others experienced this also? When did you start to feel normal? Thanks

Thanks all! Gabbisha I can't even imagine what that was like! You are strong! Glad you got through it all and are feeling good! Happy losing;)

Thanks guys!!

Are you supposed to be drinking protein drinks? I just purchased syntrax nectar (fuzzy navel) suggested by others. You might want to look at those. You definately need to get your protein in. 3 weeks in the hospital must have been awful! So sorry you were not well. Hopefully you are now on your way to a fast recovery:D

Thanks! Iso pure is to me is like thin gelatin and leaves little pieces of goo in my mouth. I will definately try syntrax:)

Are the syntrax nectars a weird texture like the isopure clear fruit drinks in bottles? Thanks

My hardest is pain and protein drinks - don't like em can't get them down well. Also wish I could just sleep on my side without pain. Nothing is normal right now! Really takes an effort to stay positive!

You are not alone! Get better soon!

Mine say soup allowed pureed stage. And I asked my NUT about other soups and was told eat out protein solids drink broth 30 min later.

I can't stand the SMELL of any protein!!! I am trying to force them down but it takes 3-4 hrs for one drink! Glad I am not alone. Thanks to others for sharing it is all helpful!

Starting to Shrink, I kinda feel the same way I have had complications and recovery has been painful, scary and difficult! I have asked myself why did I do this and I wish I would have known how difficult it would truly be. I do feel as I get better that I am starting to remember why I did this and try to refocus on getting to my goal. I hope things are better for us both and in a few months we look back and are greatful we did it! Good luck:D

Still have significant bloating/swelling and muscles feel "tight" when standing or walking others experience this also? Thanks

I had post op appt. and was told same thing. I wad just concerned because alot of people were back to work at 1 week. And didn't complain of discomfort. Thanks for sharing. Did you have the same problem?

I just had surgery 8 days ago. I am still having pain and discomfort could work if I had to but it would be rough! But I think my recovery has been slower then others.

I am a only a week out and I thought I would be fine with protein and water....Wrong!! I am already having problems with protein drinks (yuck)! And yes sipping water all day it is hard to get suggested amount. Glad I am not alone! Will keep trying as I want to get back to "normal" daily life.

Anybody else have severe/debilitating constipation post surgery? I am one week post op my abdomen is so swollen and painful can barely walk. I am taking the 3 hr drive back to surgeon's office tomorrow. But would really appreciate if someone else had this and it cleared up would share with me. Thanks!!

Thanks everyone!

I am 4 days post op and am still in considerable pain and my legs are pretty swollen. Any one else experience this? I also have a lot of right side n pain and no incision in that area? I did get checked out for my leg swelling.

Thanks glad to know I am not alone!

Thanks for the update! My surgeon didn't give me liquid meds?? Not sure how that is going to go... I am happy to rept I was prescribed patch and a pill for day of surgery. How are doing post op wildcat74? I hope you are having a good recovery!

I am from Yakima but i am also having surgery at PSB with Dr. Billings. Dr.Kaufman did my preop and he seemed like a very caring and thorough surgeon! Good look to you! I am having surgery in 6 days aaahhhhh!

I have been doing insurance auth. for 8 months it has been a long process! I am now scheduled for surgery 9/30/15 I am so nervous and keep second guessing my self. Feeling kind of down on myself that I am in this position. Then I realize I can't do it on my own so I am going to go for it!! Appreciate everyone sharing their experiences on here!
