I had to go tothe surgeon yesterday for a Fluid check to see if the band was leaking, which it is not thank god!!

He added 1c to bring me to 5- last night and today i am drinking just fluids but they are going down very slow -- i have to wait a good 10-15 min between every 2 sips or so... no vomiting, no nausea -- just wondering if this is normal to feel? cant imagine anything solid or even mushy at this point.

Try drinking a bit of hot tea to open it up a little. It tends to be tight in the mornings and especially since you just got a fill. :sifone:

As long as you are keeping fluids down I think it is safe to wait through the weekend to see if it is stoma swelling from the fill vs being slightly over filled. If at any point you go more than a few hours unable to drink at all please call your doc.

Best wishes,

Mimi

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
