Hello, I was sleeved October 17th. It has been far from an easy journey. I have been in the hospital more than not because of dehydration, I am still on Clear Liquids. Halloween I had to do a CT scan and found out I have a blood clot in my stomach, in the vein right next to my liver. I was in back in the hospital for 5 days and now home taking it easy and now on blood thinners for at least 6 months. Has anyone else gone through this?

Oh, I'm sorry you've had these complications :(

Let's hope it'll all be up from here. I have seen someone else on the board have a blood clot... wanna say it was near the spleen, not sure. Pretty sure it turned out ok for them.

[Hugs] One day you'll be on the other side of this, and say it was a rough start, but all worth it!

I didn’t have a blood clot but my lung collapsed. I keep getting dehydrated. My dr told me my goal was 3 bottles of sugar free Powerade a day which I’m struggling to do. I just set times I have to have them gone by. I could be doing purees but I haven’t. I’m still struggling so much with the liquids I’m just holding off

      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.
