Leleboo 104 Posted August 3, 2013 I haven't tried anything warm. I can tolerate crystal light lemonade and GNC chocolate lean Protein Shakes so I happy for now. I'm glad that you found something that you can tolerate. I was lucky I didn't have any complications whatsoever. My husband who had his surgery June 24, 2013 was regretting it, I told him that I didn't think that this was right for him, but all that he could see was the weight loss.

MsBadu504 45 Posted August 4, 2013 I'm in New Orleans area too. Maybe we can get together for walking or support group. I plan to attend the August 13th session at Ochsner if you want to meet. That would be nice; I found out that Humana received my paperwork on July 29th. The waiting game has begun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nicolenik17 126 Posted August 4, 2013 It does get better. Your stomach is still swollen, you will be able to taken in more when the swelling goes down. Sip, sip, sip and sip some more. Sipping and walking together helped me out a great deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leleboo 104 Posted August 5, 2013 Hello all I really need some help I can't get no more than 20 ounces in if that I'm not hungry it hurts I'm so afraid of becoming dehydrated and have to go back to the hospital. I'm 4 days post op. When I was first sleeved it took me an hour to drink 8oz of Protein. I would drink all day long from 8 AM to 2 AM to get in my 64 ounces and 70 grams of protein because I didn't want to get dehydrated and yes it hurt if I drank to fast, so you do have to sip all day long. 1 prettilips3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
