4 days out of surgery



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Monday after a 2 year fight to have it. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Having a hard time getting that Protein and Water in.

I had a very hard time with Water and Protein. The only advice I can give you sip sip sip. It gets better. Also try adding no calorie flavors to your water and sugar free syrups to the Protein Shake

I had surgery on Monday also. Very hard to get all the Water and the Protein in. I do keep Water with me at all times and sip sip and more sipping. Reading other posts I know it will get easier for us. Good luck.

Our nurse during our pre op class said for the first week, it's more Water water water rather than Protein. But to try your darndest to get the protein in. Using a clear protein helps a lot of people they say, I plan on using Isopure for the first few weeks, even though it doesn't taste the best it's easier and thinner to get down.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
