2 days to go.

Well another first today. I vomited this morning. I'm not sure exactly what brought it on, I did try adding unflavored Protein Powder to my chai tea. I had this immense pain and pressure in my chest and then got sick. Very strange. Less painful than I imagined it would be but disgusting just the same.

Oh no. So sorry you had that experience. I almost had an experience thank goodness it went away. It's hot here in California so bobcats hey mouth being dry, and I go to drink ice Water a but too much and too fast. Not a good combo. I need to get used to sipping.

I am having trouble sleeping. I usually sleep in my stomach and sleeping on my back is not working. I've been up since 3:00am.

New things to get used to.

Thanks all for you updates. Lots of great info. It's nice to know what to expect.

So yesterday was a very bad day. Almost 90 % of the day was spent in the ER. I was feeling fine most of the day and after going to the bathroom I was in the most intense pain ever. I had to have the paramedics come get me and take me to the er because I couldn't walk down the stairs in my house. Hours at the ER later worrying that I had popped a stitch and I find out I have a huge cyst on my left ovary and a large kidney stone in my right kidney. Thank god I didn't do damage to my bypass but man do I feel like crap.

I had my VSG on 9/17. Surgery went well but I had 2 hernias removed so I'm extremely sore. I have my 1st post-op appointment tomorrow. I can't wait for day 14 post-op to transition to soft foods. I'm tired of broth, Water and sugar-free anything, the after taste is sickening.

I've tried aspartame-freee Protein Drinks from my surgeon but it's still too sweet for me.

I'm glad that this forum is here.

[Jewels34 14]

OMG. How are you feeling today? Good thing your surgical sites are ok but what awful timing!

[Jewels34 14]

Jenn I've decided that when it rains it pours on me. But I'm back to my old self just a little soar. I was worried about your Protein intake this whole time and was wondering what you should do. I hope you don't lose your hair.

[jennolsen 140]

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I'm worried too. hair is important! But I am having pain with eating my yogurt and drinking Protein Shakes. My doctors recommended I go back to clears for 24 hours then try again. At least I'm not wanting real food cause I am terrified at the pain I might have. I am a little bummed because I am going to work for half days starting Monday. I am getting a little dizzy with too much activity. I need a few calories!

Casper808,

[Susan66 128]

Jewels, Good to hear your feeling better.

[Jewels34 14]

Jenn have you tried watering down everything tell it is very runny? I do great having everything really thin. I had cheese yesterday that I mushed up tell it was nothing. (Tiny baby bell cheese)

[steffanieness 1]

Me toooo. So scared. I am having a SIPS procedure which is new and I can seem to find anyone who has it. It is closest to a DS. I am just scared to death...

[jennolsen 140]

I haven't jewels. That may be the way to start tomorrow.

[my_new_lifetime 64]

Good luck!
