KatieBug 0 Posted April 4, 2011 I am so excited. I am only one week and two days post-op, but I am feeling great. I lost 10 lbs pre-op and have lost another 12 lb since surgery. I took my one years old to the park twice today...Man, was she worn out and me too. It was so nice to be able to climb on the toddler playground after her. I am not in a lot of pain except for when I sleep. My doctor recommended that I keep my binder on for two weeks post-op, but I feel like I really don't need it except when I sleep. I am so happy I had this surgery and look forward to further positive weight losses. My goal is to be able to do things I never thought possible at my weight previously. I found this awesome Protein that has 26 grams of protein in it for one serving. Almost a half a full day serving of protein alone, but with the skim milk makes a half serving!! I am so excited!! YAY to my new life! : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can'tweight 41 Posted April 4, 2011 Binder is a stretchy piece of fabric that you wrap around your waist to keep things from moving around so much in your abdominal area. It really helps, although, it makes my incisions itch like the Dickens!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happy2behere 2 Posted April 4, 2011 Glad to hear you are not in any pain--give me hope and brought me relief this morning. Happy to hear you are doing great!!! Pleas tell us what Protein Drink you found that has 26 grams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KatieBug 0 Posted April 6, 2011 I found it at Meijer, but it is called Super Advanced. I like drinking this versus others because then I can have other foods with Protein and don't feel like I am doing the same dang thing all the time. Mine is chocolate flavored.
