I was sleeved 3/26/13. I feel pretty good. I have slight discomfort getting up and down from some of my incision sites but very mild discomfort. That's about it!

I feel great! I've been blessed with an amazing recovery...no discomfort at all except if I try to drink too fast, then it hurts!

I was sleeved 3/25 and I feel great. When I start to feel weak or lightheaded I have a cup of boullion and feel better immediately (that feeling is because of lack of sodium). I am able to drink as I did prior to surgery (I was not a guzzler or chugger before). I have tolerated everything I've tried so far (I'm on full liquids til Monday but had an egg yesterday and was able to eat half of it). Very much looking forward to refried Beans and the famous riccotta bake.

I was very nervous about eating after reading so many posts from folks who can't keep anything down or can just eat 2 teaspoons and they're done. I really feel for them, but that has not been my experience so far at all. In addition to the other things I'm eating, I have 2 Premier Protein shakes a day and all my liquids as well. I am having a bit of a reflux issue, which I did not have prior to surgery so I will call my Dr on Monday to find out which ppi I should take. But even that's not horrible and one tums usually takes care of it.

I hope that was helpful and best of luck to you.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
