try something other than straight Water, crystal light or Powerade zero. as soon as I quit drinking straight water, most of the cramps went away.

maybe that will work. I've even been adding some juice with Protein.

For those who make their own Protein Shakes, how many ounces are the shakes upon completion? I just made my own and it made so much it might take me the rest of the weekend to finish it. I'm a novice, any help is appreciated.

Can't wait to hear your review...if the cookbook. :P

Okay, I'm an October RNY'er. I need to know if someone else is experiencing what I am. Since being released from the hospital yesterday, I have had crazy gas, movement in my bowels and stomach. It is so loud. It normally doesn't hurt, but sometime pushes air around releasing a fart, but most of the time it's diahrreah. I'm getting the runs about 5-6 times an hour. Am I the only one??

no that was totally me up until yesterday. The gas sounds are soooo loud. It's like my colon is talking to me. Only problem was I hadn't passed gas until I took some Fiber and milk of magnesia then it was like explosive diarrhea at anytime.

Back home and so far no issues with taking liquids. Tried some broth and Protein Shake and no nausea, and been sipping Water without problems. Will see what tomorrow brings.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
