Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I'm officially post op!!! Surgery went well, they've had a little difficulty trying to get my pain under control, but other than that it's been good. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of you for the support over the last 10 months. You rock!

Congrats!!! Im 5 days out. Each day gets a tiny bit better. Ive been plagued by a dull headache the last few days. Either its caffeine withdrawl, or i need to increase my Water. I used to slam water bottles preop. Now it is taking me hours to get halfway thru one.

Yeah thanks guys. In the 12 hours since the original post, things have improved. Still in the hospital, but pain is under control. Feeling stronger. Up and walking. Taking my tiny sips of Water.< br>

So I'm home and everything is good. I'm a little concerned though, I can pretty much drink all the liquids I want without issue. My biggest, deepest, darkest fear was going through all this effort and the sleeve not working. Maybe it'll be different once I start real food

I was the same way.
I could chug Water without any issue the day after surgery.
I was convinced my doctor made my sleeve too big.
The entire time I was on liquids I felt like my sleeve was too big.
Now that I am on soft foods, I am sure my sleeve is not too big.

      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.
