Is there a clear Protein drink out there that won't make me gag? I've been drinking Isopure and it is horrible! I guess I'll just have to suck it up if I can't find something better.

Hopefully I am posting in the right area. I was sleeved 12/29. I am the MOH for my best friends wedding in June, and I have to order my bridesmaid dress within the next month. I have no clue what size to order. The nice thing about the dresses is that they can be taken in or out about 2 sizes either way. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm about a dress size 18/20 now.

Bridesmaids Dress

The shop doesn't allow returns but allows exchanges. The problem is I need to order within the next month to insure it gets here on time for alterations and such. If I had to exchange it for a different size, there wouldn't be enough time. I think I'm just going to order a 14 with the hopes the seamstress can work magic of need be.

Blood Clots
victoria.hudson replied to TiggerFan72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery yesterday and I have had 3-4 heparin shots for blood thinning. Just keep moving around as much as possible. If you're not walking, move/flex your feet and legs in bed. Best of luck and I'm so very sorry about your mom. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App -
Oh no!! I hope it doesn't last long. I haven't had any nausea, hopefully it stays away. I couldn't imagine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I had my VSG surgery yesterday! I did it. Just finished my second walk around the unit floor, and walking is harder than I thought it would be. I get a sharp pain every time I do it more than a few steps. Other than that I'm felling pretty good and excited for the journey that lies ahead.

Leak test?

I was just curious about surgeons performing a leak test after surgery. Is it pretty standard? I'm asking because my surgeon doesn't do them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Leak test?
victoria.hudson replied to victoria.hudson's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you, Kathy! I was just concerned when I found out he didn't, but he did explain to me that most the time a leak doesn't appear for 1-3 weeks after surgery since leaks are rarely caused by the staple line, thus a leak test right after wouldn't be accurate. But thank you again, glad to know I'm not the only one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App
