Hey all, I was feeling really great most of the day, but within the last hour or so I became super nauseous with a splitting headache. Anyone else experiencing this??

Hey all you newbies to The loser side, what's your favorite Protein shake?

I drink preimer- chocolate and vanilla,

unjury- chocolate splendor and chicken Soup,

muscle milk - chocolate and vanilla flavor and

milk shake bar -vanilla carmel. These are all I've been drinking pre-surgery and just looking to add to my variety

I drink nectar. They have all flavors but I like the chocolate the most. Also I like the pineapple flavored one. It kind of tastes like pina colada. I can't remember the name of that flavor. They also have a Cappuccino just in case I get that coffee craving. I purchased the sampler and tried them all. Most of them are fruity flavors. They're all pretty great. 23 grams of Protein & with fat free lactate milk you'll have at least 30 grams.

My doctor didn't want me to drink concentrated Protein drinks. He told me to find Protein made from isolate. And nectar is not thick and tastes great!

Did he give a reason for no concentrate?

Yes @@ChooChi73

He said that concentrated Protein is not full protein. Only partial. He said I need 100% protein because I will be lacking nutrients as it is & I will need the full benefit of what ever protein i drink. Which is what isolate is. nectar is isolate.

Hey all, I am a week post op today. I started on full liquids(pudding, yogurt, creamed Soups etc.) Yesterday. My NUT said I could have very thinned out cream of wheat, so that's what I had for Breakfast this morning. We'll I'm pretty sure I experienced my first dumping syndrome. I felt faint, nauseous, horrible sweats, diarrhea. Ugh. Probably won't have that again. Creamed Soups settle well though.

On the plus side. I've lost 10 lbs since surgery, and 25 lbs since pre-op diet!!!

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Has anyone tried cream of chicken Soups? I had my first today. I didn't have a lot, maybe a tablespoon . I ate it VERY slow and I felt the beginning of a cold sweat. So I stopped. Then I got very sweaty and now I'm in bed trying to relax a little.

Is it too soon to have it at 4 days Post-Op?(or are we at 3 days) Or should I try it again and dilute it a little? I'm just glad it didn't hit me like the first time.

I haven't had cream of chicken, but I've had Tomato and cream of broccoli. With both if them I diluted it with milk. They've settled well so far.

Hello everyone, omg this has been so hard! I was discharged this morning from the hospital but I am sooooo sore and I feel miserable . I miss my kids but i can't take care of them right now so my mom is helping by keeping them while my husband helps me recover. Although i am not hungry I think about food. But the worst part is the soreness, constant rumble in my stomach and the difficulty getting all of my fluids in. I hope everything will get better soon.

I had cream of chicken Soup (strained) while I was still in hospital. I did fine with it...I probably only ate a tablespoon full

Did your doctor send you home with any pain meds? I thought about being brave and not using my pain med, then I decided, what the heck.

I hope you start feeling better real soon.

Hey @@Pup yes I have pain meds but they just make me sleep all day and I am sick of taking them but I learned that I need to. Tomorrow I will re focus and get back on track with trying to get my liquids in and keep moving around more.

We are going through the exact same thing, I was sleeved on the 26th, discharged after 1 day.. Pain meds make me sleepy all day, stomach growling and throat rumbling when drinking Water. Zero appetite and miserable.

Ready for this part to be over.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
