I was sleeved June 10th and I was feeling so good yesterday!! Today I decided to go into work for 3 hours. (I am a wound nurse) And let me tell you. I am now exhausted!! I think I am gonna take a nap and relax now. I really thought I would be ok with returning to work, but nope! I even had an aide come in so I did not have to push/pull/lift patients. I am waiting on my energy to come back!

About 3 weeks before my surgery I went to the dentist and discovered I had an infection under a crown. The dentist said I should get the infection out before surgery or it could cause problems. I had the tooth pulled the very next day. Thankfully I had time to deal with it. I agree for your health and safety you need to talk to your doctor.

Hello All,

I was sleeved 6/13 and have been doing well. More sore than painful. Someone mentioned spasms. I think that's what I have. Can someone give any advice? When I drink there's a quick gas pain in my chest and after the liquid goes down the spasm stops. Should I call the Doc?

Wow!!! I had surgery June 10th as well and my stomach is still so sore I need help getting myself up half the time. No way I could attempt going back to work yet.

I was sleeved the 10th. I am having the exact same quick pain/spasm as you. It sounds like others are having the same issue somewhat. I will say 5 days out it is MUCH easier and lesser now than it was even two days ago so I think it is normal :)

Thanks so very much! I was concerned bc it feels so weird. Like a tummy growl coupled with gas pain. I'm also taking liquid lortab and trying my best to sit up versus laying down.

Sounds like the gas pains to me. I had constant heaviness in my chest. Day 3 I thought I was having a heart attack, day 5 much better. When I would take too big a sip I would get that painful "stuck" feeling until it finally moved down. Walking and gas x strips helped me a lot.

I was amazed that I *didn't* have gas pains this time around (I previously had a LapBand and LapBand removal - bad gas pains both times). I flew through recovery other than being tired! I'm 8 days post-op now and looking forward to work on Monday ;).

I bought them at a store called "The Vitamin Shoppe" . They are in glass bottles. Run about $4.00 but sooooo worth it! Each bottle has 40 grams of protein.my favs are cocnut, blue raspberry & grape frost. I mix the blue with half leomade crystal lite and LOVVVE IT! I drink on the bottle through out the day. I start with my blender glass filled with ice and keep adding ice as it melts or Crystal light. I get my Protein and Water in this way! Lovvve it.

$4.00 sorry. I think you can get them at GNC as well even on Amazon.com. I tried every flavor to find my favorite. The ones I thought I'd like, I ended up hating. I thought coconut would be gross, but eneded up being one of my favs!

      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.
