I'm Nov 9 too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App How are you guys doing? I was nov 9 also. First few days were extremely hard with constant nausea, but doing better now. Hope you're having an easy recovery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone thought of getting a therapist to help them deal with the changes in our lives with food? Wondering what kind of therapist to look for that would deal with this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I totally understand. I'm having better days now (15 days post op) but it's like going withdrawal/rehab/detox all at once. I drink alot of Water and startwd shakes but I do have a problem with sugar amd it feels like I'm breaking up with food. It's a slow and long process but it helps to talk about it. Sent from my LG-H631 using the BariatricPal App Yes exactly! It's like a loss Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I need to get some too and undecided Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone Looking for thoughts and guidance, feeling so confused. I am scheduled for surgery next week on the 9th. Just found out today my 14 year old son tore his ACL in football and will most likely need surgery. I'm thinking I should postpone my surgery so I can be available to care for him, prob multiple dr visits and then his surgery. I'm wondering how quickly I will be back in commission to get around and do what I need to do as a mom. Feeling selfish to have the surgery when he is needing my help, but afraid that if I don't do it now I might never. Thanks for any thoughts, so sick about this, terrible timing Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How was your recuperation from the ACL surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone. Found out my son will need a couple of weeks of therapy before he has the surgery so I'm going to go ahead with my surgery on Wed . His injury just took my head out of my surgery for a bit, but I know I need to do this NOW. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh no you poor thing! How are you? Was this caused by the sleeve do they think? Hope you are doing better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just want to say a sincere thank you to all of you that took the time to respond to my dilemma. I'm just sick about it, as you all know the mental build up to have this surgery is huge, and this issue with my son has put me all out of sorts. I think I just don't want any distractions during my recuperation, I wanted this to be all about ME for once, but life happens and I will figure it out. My husband, who really didn't want me to have this surgery, is saying "its up to you"...that is not really what I wanted to hear, I wanted to hear, yes have it next week! We will work it out! I should get the results to the MRI for my son today or tomorrow and then can hopefully figure out the time schedule for both of us. Everyone is telling me to get a second opinion regardless for him, and to take him to NYC or Philly where we can get the best doctor. This all sounds time consuming to me, which is freaking me out. Sorry again for rambling, and thank you all so much, really what an amazingly supportive group!

My husband, but I guess I'm so used to being the one to handle these things with doctors, etc. hard for me to not be involved. Plus it's difficult for him to get time off Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone! Trying to make my shopping list and thinking of ideas to get in my Protein during the clear liquid phase the first week post op. Has anyone found a good unflavored protein to mix in maybe Jello of broth? I guess I will also try the unjury broth? Any other ideas? Thanks so much Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Any ideas you can give me that works well to mix with? I'm feeling at a loss getting my organization together Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! Going to try this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

First day of your new life! Best of luck <img title=":)" class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png" data-cke-saved-src="http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png" />

Hi everyone! I have a few bags of 310 shake powder that I bought about 6 months ago on one of my failed diets. I am getting sleeved in November and would like to use the 310 shakes if possible, since I know they taste great and they were kind of expensive! Just wanted to get your opinions on the ingrediants...I think they may be a bit low in Protein for me after sleeving...90 calories, 15 g protein, sweetened with stevia so >1 g of sugar....if I mix with unsweeted almond milk or skim milk I can add another 4 or 5 gr of protein....what do you think? Should I purchase one with higher protein per serving? Thanks!

I got these, not bad! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks that makes a lot of sense! I'll definitely look for a higher Protein Shake for the immediate future...
