Hi everyone!!! I just wanted 2 say thank you 2 everyone who answered my questions and helped me out in the beginning weeks of my recovery it was a tough time for me. I'm 6 weeks post op and I'm feeling so much better and i'm starting to feel normal again lol. This site is great and thank you again.

Hi Sabrina 140 ok I was able to drink 1/2 the premier chocolate protein shake last night and the other 1/2 this morning not what I should be doing but it's a start they are not bad a little on the thick side so I put some ice cubes in it and water it down a little. I got them at Costco!

Indymom. I'm having a hard time finding the nature made multi soft gel vitamin. Where did u get urs?

Omg!!! It's horrible and I know at this point protein is very important but they all make me so sick and I know a lot has 2 do with my taste buds and smells being all screwed up but it really sucks I'm having such a hard time even with my liquid intake . I bought the premier protein from Costco and I'm going 2 try one tonight ( fingers crossed) a lot of people on this site recommend that one and also the injury protein as this point I'll try anything because im still not really able 2 eat my doc says its because I'm still really swollen besides the sleeve I had a hernia repair and a lot of scar tissue removed But I will let u know how the protein shake taste. Good luck

I had my surgery feb 8th and im having the same problem with the protein I can not stomach any of them and I bought so many different ones they all make me sick and I actually vomitted a few times which was not pleasant so I am also searching for some type of protein I can handle because right now I'm not even getting close to my protein intake that is needed . And I'm also having a rough time getting in my 64oz of fluid I feel like it still takes me all day to drink a 20oz water bottle. I'm so nervous at this point and do not want to go back in the hospital or screw up my surgery.

Thank u

Can anyone recommend an acid reducer that is not chewable/ liquid? I've been taking chewable Pepcid since the beginning of my post op 2x a day and now it's stating to make sick. I'm a month out hopefully there is something out there small enough to swallow. Thank you

Hey Everyone and I apologize now if this question grosses anyone out. Today makes a month for me post op and it's been a long struggling battle with liquids/proteins/vitamins pretty much everything. But now I notice I have not been going to the bathroom regular if I'm lucky if it's once a week and that's probably because I get nervous and take M.Of M. To help me. Is this normal? And does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you all for the advice

When I told him everything was making me sick including smells and I have occasionally vomited from it he basically told me 2 keep pushing the protein in because it's very important for healing and if i didn't I would start losing my hair so I'm so paranoid about that. I spent so much money on so many different proteins and it's the same out come I can NOT tolerate any of them it's horrible. My taste buds and my smells are so off it's crazy. I still can't even get the 64oz of water/ fluid in that he recommends daily. I'm so scared at this point that I even regret my decision on having the sleeve done . My doc is very hardcore it's his way or no way that's what made me look for a site like this so I could speak to people who have been through it already.

I had the sleeve done feb 8 and it's been a rough experience for me. I'm having a really tough time with the protein everyone I tried so far makes me so sick and a few times made me vomit. Now I'm having a tough time with my chewable vitamins the after taste is making me nauseous. I spoke to my doc and he basically told me to suck it up and deal with it. Lol does anyone have any advice? Please!
