Thanks Katie. I did go out to Walmart yesterday and get some Protein Shake mix.. but because I'm on Clear Liquids only I can't use it. So getting the clear Liquid Protein is what I'll have to do... Thanks a million! I didn't know that existed...

Off to the stores first thing tomorrow!

@starsleeve...I just had my Q and A with my surgeon...he warned me about that right side incision. That is where he takes out the stomach so he has to stretch that one out and it takes longer to heal...hope this helps!!

I've asked my surgeon about both of these, the pain meds cause Constipation. I didn't have a BM til I stopped taking them. Also the fuzzy tongue is common in liquid and soft diets.

Check my subject from a few days back "Let's talk about toots!"

Lots of good advice/support. My gas and poops arrived 6-7 days. It came a day after I bumped up my Water intake and moved around alot more.

No worries....what is up...MUST come down!

Not me. I had just esophagus pain but it lasted arround 3 days... Did you call you doctor already?

Yeah I have the fuzzy tongue as well (sleeved on May 1st). I think it has a lot to do with the pain pills...

Yes they seem to think its because that incision is the one the dr did the most work out of.

Are all of you sure this fuzzy tongue isn't "thrush"? If it goes untreated it could be very painful and make you pretty sick!

mine is gone today.... i stopped taking the pain pills last night. I think it was causing the cotton mouth too..... But i'm all normal today!
