Ms. Stacy - my doc and nutritionist wouldn’t allow that for me either. I had my surgery on Dec 27 and I’m totally afraid to try sparkling anything. I just started drinking decaf coffee and not every day because I’m afraid.

I can’t drink the premier shakes at all anymore. All whey protein shakes are giving me the runs. I get it I’ve had issues with milk in the past but nothing like this. I had surgery 12/27 and a few issues with my throat and ears hurting but that’s getting better. I’m having a hard time with the smell of some protein shakes and I just keep tossing them. Water and broth are my besties.

That’s what I’m gonna do because Celebrate has a chicken based protein but it’s not jiving with me. I’m going to buy an unflavored protein to add to my broth.

Jeannine - I spoke with my surgeon and he confirmed everything you said as what may be going on. I feel a lot better now that I got the chloraseptic spray and some cold medicine. Thank you again!!

My first post op visit is one week after surgery. I need to call because they do have 24H service and someone could call me back. My doctor’s paperwork they gave me want us to continue postop visits up to 5 years after surgery.

Thanks for the support Jeannine!!

That’s what I think caused it because my throat was fine before the tube. I’m going to the urgent care tomorrow. It’s really bad. My ears hurt too!!

I was sleeved on dec 27. My throat hurts like hell and any protein now that I’m home burns going down. The back of my throat is swollen. I’m going to the urgent care tomorrow. Any ideas of what I can do?

My paperwork says no crackers and that’s even after a month. I only like matzo crackers and buy them during Passover even though I’m not Jewish but nope no crackers here probably not until 2+ months out.

I had my surgery yesterday. This gas is horrible!

My only regret 1 day post op is that the gas is too bad and nothing seems to be working. Otherwise I feel pretty damn good!

Has anyone tried Inspire protein powders?

I like listening to WLS podcast; this is the last episode http://www.weightlosssurgerypodcast.com/097-catching-up-with-leslie/

Come on Jersey Girl you got this! Be strong. You made it this far. I’m rooting for you!

Ok. I just needed some ideas. My surgery is tomorrow. I have issues with the premier making my throat hurt some. At first I didn’t know what was causing it but I think I’m allergic to something in it. Once I’m about 3 to 4 weeks out I know I’m gonna need some other options.

Your doc is trying to get you to use their in house brand they are working with. Mine uses Celebrate. I’m glad you mentioned unjury because I was considering trying it.

What’s on your purée menu?

Mine is 12/27. I know how you feel. Good luck and keep us posted.

Merry Christmas

Maybe it’s more related to the types of protein consumed like beef, lamb, goat and other heavy meats considered to be on the same level as red meat.

They say you shouldn’t lay down for about 2 hours after eating. I believe that rule applies for ppl that didn’t have WLS

Northern Jersey!!

I feel it’s my journey, my life. We’ve tried to do things to lose weight and studies prove long term most are not able to keep it off for good. I commend those that have been able to do it. I also commend those of us taking this route because the surgery alone doesn’t make you successful. It’s still a long term battle because we still have the same brains we started with and to be honest most ppl overeat regardless of their size. We are doing what’s best for us and you don’t have to like it but we’re not asking you to either. Be happy with your decision. December 27th for me!!! I’ve gone through the steps 3 times and I’ve finally decided I’ve had enough and need some assistance.

Good luck!! You got this!!

Same for me.
