Jmiller 0 Posted August 13, 2011 Are the Protein Drinks good? Which ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indymom 132 Posted August 13, 2011 Jamee - the stomach rumbling might be acid. Did your surgeon prescribe you any kind of antacid or reflux script? My only stomach rumbling has been due to gas, I do not feel hungry at all and only eat because i am supposed to. Jmiller - I have a case of Protein drinks from costco but I'm not supposed to start them until day 6 or until I have a bowel movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buckeye Girl 8 Posted August 13, 2011 How long does the drain stay in? I am having my surgery with Dr. Almanza, will I come home with the drain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jmiller 0 Posted August 13, 2011 I didn't have a drain. Are you getting sleeved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
branon20 0 Posted August 13, 2011 Well...I had intense left lower pain for several weeks and thought something major had gone wrong. The doc kept telling me it was the muscle healing after all of the stitches inside he had given me. One day not log after that, I woke up pain-free. It has absolutely left and I have lost 42 lbs and am doing great. I wouldn't change a thing now, even with the pain to endure. It will pay off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buckeye Girl 8 Posted August 13, 2011 I didn't have a drain. Are you getting sleeved? Yes I am. I didn't think I would have one, but I have read different things on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jmiller 0 Posted August 13, 2011 I don't know my BMI was 31 so I don't know if they go on that or maybe the Doctors preference. My mom had one with a Tummy Tuck and she said it wasn't that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chef neil 25 Posted August 13, 2011 I feel better each day, however, Today I have been dizzy again. 8 weeks out +- and at dinner- had 3 bites and ended up vomiting it all. and so it goes... somedays are good- some are not so... the best part of the sickness- almost always gives me a weight drop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jmiller 0 Posted August 13, 2011 I'm glad your dropping pounds but not like that. I hate feeling dizzy and throwing up. What does the Dr say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irish princess 0 Posted August 13, 2011 The rumbling is after I swallow drinks or my sugar free pop Why the heck are you drinking pop so early on. I'm not sure that is good for you or the sleeve. Just sayin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LVikingFan 14 Posted August 13, 2011 The rumbling is after I swallow drinks or my sugar free pop Pop as in soda pop? That is a big no-no. The carbonation will expand and stretch out your sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jmiller 0 Posted August 13, 2011 sugar free popcicle not soda pop. And your right you can't because of the carbonation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
