I am Kimberly. I had my surgery (gastric sleeve) on 1/5/15. I am looking for a support group.

Today was/is a bad day. Tried a protein drink 2 ounces. Nauseous, sweats, really yucky.

Also, I am very irritable.

Hello and welcome. Where did you have your surgery? Give us a little more info and we may be able to assist you.

I had my surgery in Las Vegas.

9 years ago I had the lap band. Few months ago had issues with my esophagus. Of course, they opened my band. Come to find out it wasn't my band it was the scar tissue above causing restriction. Long story short band hand to be removed. But with all the hoopla of insurance and what not I gained 50 pounds. Plus the weight I gained beforehand. I was going to have the band removed. Fix my boo boo in my throat. I should have been trained long enough and no what to to. Oh noooo..... I am an addict. I eat! I needed a tool! With much research and talking with my doctor. The Gastric Sleeve was the answer.

Sleeve is way different then the band. I learned the hard way. Protein drinks I have to watch the sugar. One I could drink was 3grams. The other was 5grams.

Sorry for the babbling. No one understands.

What were the instructions given to you at discharge? Where are you getting your follow up? You need to speak with the nutritionist. You may do better with protein waters or powders that mix with water instead of milk, however given your history the only advice you should take should be from a medical professional.
