When I was in the hospital the doctor told me that the incisions right by my belly button had some deep stitches in the muscles and that would be the area that will be painful the longest due to that. I had my surgery Nov 30 and she was right. As of now those 2 spots are the only thing that still hurts when sitting down, standing up. Bending etc. I tried wearing my shaping tank top last night for some extra support and that really helped! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was 11/30. I am still on the clear liquid diet after doing 2 weeks of liquid diet..seems like forever but I have to say I am very proud of myself especially since I was on it over Thanksgiving. I just wanted to ask everyone how they are/were getting in the Protein while in this stage? My doc has me drinking skim milk but I think it is not agreeing with me and giving me diarrhea and I don't want to worry even more about becoming dehydrated...Not sure if I should make some changes or count by blessings that the pain killers haven't constipated me... LOL. Any advice? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I tried mixing my Protein shakes with almond milk and regular milk. The almond milk changed the texture and made the shake taste better Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Hello,Thank you for your advice. So you are a couple weeks ahead of me, what phase of the diet are you on now? Is there anything you're having trouble tolerating? I can't drink milk, it is making me incredibly sick. I was thinking of maybe trying again tomorrow to see if it's any better. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
