I had mine on Halloween. The surgery was not too bad, minor pain but they gave me good drugs. I had no problem drinking Water as soon as the let me. The biggest problem I am having is my taste buds have changed so much, it's like they are on overdrive. Sweet things are sickly sweet to me so I am having a really had time with the Protein shakes. I went to the surgeon today and he fussed at me about it. I am just going to have to keep trying different ones to find something I can handle.

I feel hungry, like really hungry, but then it doesn't take much to fill me up. I am also tired, still nap most afternoons. I am so glad I don't work outside the home, I don't know how people go back to work as soon as they do.

I watched a ton of YouTube videos preparing for surgery. Just search WLS, VSG, RNY, etc. Very informative.

I had surgery Nov 1st. So far, the worst thing for me is severe acid reflux. Good thing, lost 8 lbs the first week.

I was great coming out of it and for the first 2 weeks. But these last 2 weeks I've been so nauseous. I have headaches. Can't poop. Kinda sucks. But at the end of the day, worth it. 100% worth it.

Are you getting enough Water? Dehydration can cause nausea and headaches. Whatever it is I hope you find the answer :(

That's another thing I'm nervous about is the nausea cuz throwing up will most likely be painful cuz u really don't know how much you use you stomach until it's the only choice had three c-sections soo I can just imagine with this surgery

Also, ask your surgeon about Miralax or similar, because not pooping (from personal experience) can be dangerous and extremely painful!

      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.

      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.
