I'm not the support group type really, but four days out from DS, it would be helpful to hear about post-op recovery from folks who have been through it. Thanks.

I had a different surgery - RNY. Which is different but there are similarities. For DS's the Vitamin regime is more intensive. So this article gives my experience from RNY. It may be of some help. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

I'm now 9 days post-op and also would love to hear others experience.

FYI Vombatidae, Pinkfishlilly on YouTube had a revision to the DS about 3/4 years ago and dos a monthly vlog of her journey. I found it to be helpful, but I still have a lot of unanswered questions.

Tiredness. I remember I was exhausted after eating & had to lie down.

Learning my new stomach: what did that cramp mean? Did I really have to 'go'? My surgeon helped a lot on this one. He told me to remember I had 1 stomach for my whole life & now I have a brand new infant's stomach. I had to treat it as such.

Lactose intolerance. Happens to many of us for the first year. I used Lactaid pills, milk & cheese.

      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.
