I drank Gatorade Recover right after surgery. It doesn't have as much protein as the shakes, but at least it's something. Really helped me to get some protein in. Now I like Unjury unflavored mixed with crystal light or sugar free koolaid and hawaiian punch. Also like drinking AMP chocolate from GNC. Good Luck..it's just going to be trial and error for you now.

Congratulations! That is great. I was sleeved 4 weeks ago and have to work my hiny off on the treadmill to lose. I get plenty of protein and water, but the weight isn't melting off me like I'd hoped it would. I do have a thyroid condition that I take meds for and wondering since losing 31 lbs if it needs to be adjusted.

When I did the preop diet, I was told if I was really really hungry to add a another protein shake. I never did. I just worked through it. The first 4 days were the worst for me.

Hi Mistyk, I was just sleeved on May 23 and I bought Reviva from costco. It works really good. I don't think I could swallow my regular GNC horse pill Vitamins.

Thanks everyone..I am taking my laptop so I will keep you all updated. The worst part for me is I am going to miss my kids...they are too young to understand what I'm doing and I have hugged the crap out of them all day. lol I wish my husband could go with me too, but he's on diaper duty while I'm gone..(well one in pullups..but only at night and nap..we are potty training) Sarsar, good luck with your surgery too. Hope everything goes smoothly for you. If I had the money, I would have went to Dr Aceves..then we could have driven from Phoenix to Mexicali in only 4 hrs. But he was more than we could afford. I'm quite happy with my choice..(I'll tell you I am or not after tomorrow) lol

Well, I'm ready to go get sleeved tomorrow. Leaving for the airport in the early morning before daylight and I will be on the 6am plane to San Diego. Luckily, I only have an hour and half flight there. I'm so ready to do this. Everything was going great until I got my period today....a week early. uggg. Get to have cramps now. Oh well, I guess the pain meds will more than take care of it. hehe.

Congrats ladies!! I will know how you both feel on Monday!!

I am on day 13 of the preop diet. Tomorrow is my last day then surgery Monday. I have lost 15 lbs in 13 days. I am sick of Jello, popsicles and broth..I still like my Protein shakes. I was mixing them with milk until I started clears yesterday..now mixing with Water and sometimes Motts toddler apple juice. I am using Chick nutrition shakes. Love 'em. I have a tub of strawberry and a tub of banana and mix 1 scoop of each for a banana-strawberry shake..it's really good and i hope I still like them after surgery. Good luck with your diets. It really was harder the first week. Then I thought it got easier. I was pretty grumpy yesterday. Lack of caleries has made me too tired to care about food. lol I don't dare cheat on my last 3 days of clears. I don't want any complications on Monday..hopefully the surgery will be "textbook" .

Good luck today. I know you will be great! I hope everything goes well for you. Keep us udated when you are feeling up to it.

Hi Rachel, I'm really sorry this is happening to you right now. If you had planned to get the surgery, you shouldn't let this stop you from following through with your journey. Loose skin is the last thing I would be worrying about right now. I would concentrate on getting healthy first. You already made the first step if you are thinking of having surgery. Would you rather have an obese body that hurts and will possibly contribute to medical problems later, or be thinner, healthier with maybe some loose skin? Or maybe not so much loose skin. I don't know how much weight you have to lose, but if you exercise that will help your skin too. Good luck. And do what's right for you.

OMG you poor thing! :unsure:That must have been a shocker for the dr to see your spleen and stomach attached. I've never heard of that happening. Hope you're swelling goes down soon for ya.

I'm going by myself on Monday It will be a nice get away for me. lol

Good luck and let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it

I'm taking GasX strips and a heating pad with me..Some say the strips work, some don't. Most say a heating pad does help. But more importantly to walk walk walk.
