No, but if you add Alea Birbeck, and message her letting her know you want to be in the Spring 2016 VSGers group, she will add you (unsure of that was the original group or not, but everyone on this one is nice & there's a recipe page she'll add you to as well) Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone else get nauseous when they are yelling? This never happened before surgery, but now if I'm yelling for the kids to clean their room, or cheering/yelling at their soccer games, I get SUPER nauseous. Is this from the surgery (I also had a hernia repair) and from working those muscles? Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Yes, please! Maybe they will do their chores. They're so sweet around strangers, but you flip that switch on my bipolar ass, and I go postal if you don't do what Momma says!

Lol! I wish it was that, but it really is nausea ever since I got sleeved.. it's so weird & I have to limit my yelling (which is hard to do with non-stop arguing kids), but I just assume it's the surgery/hernia repair. Blah Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I'm in tears over here. I feel like I'm failing - surgery was 4/18, but I'm not hungry at all, and even trying to drink everything is hurting. I can't stand the powders, they're making me nauseous, even mixed with broth, etc. The pre-mixed Protein shakes hurt me too bad (the dairy). I'm FAR from my water/protein goals & can't stop crying because I just don't know where to go from here. Isopure is disgusting, even tried Syntrax Strawberry/Kiwi this morning mixed with strawberry Vitamin Water Zero, but I can still taste the protein, and it makes me gag every time I sip on it. I know I wouldn't have a problem if I only had to intake water, I can sip on that, decaf tea, Crystal Light, etc all day - but this protein is killing me! I just feel like a failure, not sure when I should even eat Jello, etc because my stomach is not growling. There is a drink called Protein20 that I recently found at my local QT that is really good, that may be my only option at this point - 15g protein/bottle - tastes WAY better than ISOPURE. Maybe next week will be better, when I can start scrambled eggs, oatmeal, etc.

My stomach has come alive! Doctor has moved me on to week 3 soft foods, and I've managed to have eggs yesterday, and some fish & green Beans today! I'm also finally able to sip my Water all day without it hurting! Down 30 lbs since 4/18 surgery. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Praise the lord, I am able to eat some low-sugar oatmeal (couldn't find any sugar-free at my grocery store).. added a TINY bit of unflavored Protein powder, and can't taste it at all. This apples & cinnamon is the best thing I've ever had in my life! It's watery as crap right now, but whatever I can do to keep it down! Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I will order some of the ProtiDiet.. they seem to have some great reviews.. anything that tastes like Water, but yet sweet will help me get through this phase. Do you know if they are only available online? Thank you!Yes, I think I got mine from Bariatric Choice. My surgeon's office also sold them. I don't know if the BariatricPal Store has them or not but you can look.I ordered mine from the Choice store last night w/ 2 day delivery.. and just picked up some Protein20 at my QT a little while ago, so hopefully I can get a little protein in me. My hormones are still a mess though, went crazy crying this morning because the rabbits cage hasn't been cleaned out a week ago like I asked since I can't bend down to clean it myself.

Did that week 1 - they're still so disgusting to me even diluted. I only tried the Alpine Punch, but it's too expensive to buy a whole case if I don't like it. :\

Hi all! I had my procedure done 4/18, and started full liquids today. While I am thirsty and dying to drink my decaf tea, I'm just not hungry.. do I need to force myself to get the water/protein intake? Just don't want to mess up my staples, etc from over drinking while not hungry. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I was 4/18 Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I know it, I rarely get a tummy gurgle, but force the Protein shakes.. but my paperwork says to not make yourself "Thanksgiving full" so I figure if I'm full I shouldn't be drinking my tea/Crystal Light, etc. Ugh! Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I had mine on 4/18. Haven't stepped on the scale - waiting for my post-op appointment next Monday to see what I've lost.

April 18th can I get the link too? Please Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery last Monday and finally went on Friday. It wasnt much, but I was glad to know I wasnt broken.
