Well girls I am back in hospital....came into ER yesterday...I can not poop..... worst then having a baby. I won't go into details but after 12 hours in ER I was admitted.
I don't have any regrets...We've all had a little issue here or there....this is how my body handles pain meds.
I can't wait to get my nectar Protein and try it.

Yeah I only go for 4 oz of Soup. But I only eat it once a day. I try to get my Protein in the rest of the time. And Water after that.

Is anyone else not having issues getting fluids/ Soups in? I am able to have about 4oz of Soup and feel fine.

Call your doctors answering service now to see if you can take something OTC till tomorrow?

Maybe you should call your doctor tomorrow? I can't imagine how weak you are.

Yes I did, I'm 6 days Post-Op now. Today I'm finally feeling like myself. First 3 days I had TERRIBLE gas. It was so bad that I wanted to go to emergency because it just couldn't be normal to feel like that. I ended up taking milk of magnesium that night and everything was great the following morning. The pain from my insides is still there but it's much improved since day one. I am lucky to say I never experienced nausea, so that is definitely a plus for me. My incisions are mostly healed and I'm so ready for my staples to be removed. I only have pain on my left side, but the doctor warned me about that pain since day one.
I'm not up to 64 oz of liquids yet, but I am getting up to 54. Maybe today is the day!!

Thank you so much @@Pup and @ I'm going to head out to Vitamin Shoppe and see if I can get a Sample or two for purchase and call the number also...I'm still breaking out in hives so I'm very frustrated just going to have to keep taking Benadryl until my doctors office is open

Here you go! ❤ _______________
HELLOOO!!!
I just wanted to update as of today 3/28/2016, they are still selling the sampler for 16.99 (shipping included). I just called the number and didn't think it would work, but it did. YEY.
They said it was only a one time buy for the variety pack. After that we have to buy a jar. But it is worth to try all the flavors and check which one you like the best.
The number is still 1.866.333..7403 EX 803
They asked where I heard of it and I said BariatricPal and they knew about the site. lol

How did it go? Did you have the surgery? How are you feeling?

Sweetener choice aside, nectar is buying far the best Protein I've tried. Tons of flavors, not lumpy (dissolves easily)I love it. Especially the "sweets" for my milk. I hate plain milk.

Thanks for posting it the ingredients. I wasn't trying to put you down. It's just a personal thing. one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Lmfao I recommend taking some liquid laxatives or something, I was concerned too, took those and next day bm were fine.. After that I've been going once daily without any help! Yep! I've not been 242 pounds for a good two years! Desperate to shed those 42 pounds by Christmas!!

Yesterday was a really hard day for me, I was upset because the head hunger had hit me hard and I hadn't weighed myself so although I only got sleeved on the 26th, I felt like I was doing this all for nothing.
Then this morning I decided to weigh myself, just to see. I've lost 10.5 pounds in just 5 days. That has motivated me beyond belief and given me that big push I needed to realise that I can do this!!!

Head hunger has been a struggle for me also. This is much harder than I thought it would be, but its no turning back now, so I just have to deal with it although it is driving me insane thinking of all the foods that I would love to have right now. I even thought to myself, if i had lost weight without WLS then I could at least have a salad, but my way has never worked for me so I gotta give this a fair shot. I went to the store today and purchased some creamy Tomato Soup made by campbells and It was really good and satisfying. I only ate about 4 tablespoons and that did the trick for me so I am over the hump for today. Hang in there yall, we got this! One day at a time is the motto

Nectar is the best! They have lots of flavors and they are fruity too. Even sweets. It's thin and goes down well. I had 64 grams today. Finally. Now I just need to finish my liquids to complete 64 ounces.
Earlier I replied to Pup and have her a number she can call to get a sample pack for nectar. Maybe you should call too just to try it out. I'm sure you'll love it too
Thank you I definitely will try the number I'm going to have to make a run to GNC tomorrow see what I can get sample wise to hold me over so frustrating

I cooked for my family...not because they asked. My hubby was fully capable of doing everything but some how cooking made me feel normal even though I am not eating.

It sounds like today is a hump day for several if us....hang in there everyone, we got this! Reading a book for the second time called the "Emotional First Aid Kit" by Cynthia Alexander.... I think it's really helping with head Hunger and just everything that's going on, you might want to check into it.

So looks like I may be allergic to premier Protein I keep breaking out in hives and the only change has been that cuz I have not taken my pain meds in almost two days...anyone have any suggestions for anything else? I wonder if the surgery has changed something in my body causing lactose intolerance or something

I have certainly envied some good food my family has had, but the head hunger hasn't been horrible for me. It will, however be nice to have a taste of this and that later.

also no head hunger at all, and smell of food, thought of food, sight of food makes me feel ill

@ yeah throwing up for 4 days was not fun, i thought by incisions were going to split open, thought my stomach was literally gonna come out of my mouth, it was defenitly the worse thing yet.
