Recommended Posts

I didn't read your post until I just got home and while I was out I went to GNC and you are absolutely right. I got me some samples to try to see if I can find another Protein Shake.< /p>

That young lady was so helpful!!!!

These shakes are about it until I go to the Dr on 12/23 I will be 2 weeks out on that day so hopefully I will be able to start soft foods.

Which Protein Shakes at GNC is everyone liking? My surgery was on the 9th. My staples are out and Im feeling much better in general. I started the Vitamins yesterday for the first time (calcium chews and Bariatric Advantage chewable). So far I've only had cream Soups, Protein shakes and mashed sweet potato. I did stop by Wendys today as I was with my family on the way to a movie and they were hungry. I ate a small condiment packet of sour cream. It was delicious and the perfect size. And free! So yay, theres that. How much weight has everyone lost so far? I'm down 17 pounds since surgery 10 days ago. I thought I would be smaller in the waist as well but I just took measurements and Im actually larger than I was before surgery. Must be the swelling?

Where are your staples. I was also sleeved on the 9th. I don't have any staples except on the inside.

I like optimum nutrition vanilla ice cream.

I love the one called Amplify XL, it looks like proper techno bodybuilder stuff, but it tastes just like a real vanilla milkshake, no nasty aftertaste.

I need to try these two different Protein Shakes. My staples are on my abdomen. 6 holes from the laparoscopic surgery. One or two staples on each hole. I think its quicker than using sutures for the surgeon. How is everyone else from Dec 8/9th doing? Hanging in there?

@@Missy407 I was the 10th and my dr used sutures inside on deep muscle and that one spot has been killing me as it is healing all the other incisions are fine and good to go no pain.I just need this one spot to hurry and feel better

I'm 12/08/15. Healing well, surgeon made 6 incisions, only large one on right side where stomach removed had internal sutures. I am getting in Water and close to Protein, although my new tummy is VERY picky. I cannot do eggs right now, they come right back up, puréed turkey and tuna are working the best right now. Fairlife nonfat milk is my savior right now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
