Hi Everyone - I had sleeve surgery done on Monday, April 3rd, so I am two days post op. I'm feeling pretty good but am having pain/pressure when I drink. Just tried to eat a popsicle but it was painful. I think that I'm having trouble with cold drinks. Seems like I do better with room temp or heated drinks. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and look forward to the support found here.

You don't want to do cold. You want to keep liquids at room temperature. It's normal for cold to hurt. I received this information from the pre-op nurses and nutritionist.

I also could only tolerate warm or room temp things for a few days. Then it was weird, I could only tolerate super cold. Now I'm 3 months out and frozen things like Popsicles and ice bother me again. [emoji854] I'm still learning my tummy and wish it would make up it's mind. It also hates coffee so I've been super bummed about that. Maybe in time it will get better.

I'm also having a hard time drinking all of the fluids. I feel like I "sip" all day long but it's not enough.

      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.
