If cold isn't working try hot herbal tea. That's what they offered at my hospital. I would get the starbuck's orange herbal & but some Splenda & about 1/3 of an orange protien shot. I also do this cold. I also like the margarita crystal light with the orange Protein. Sip, sip, sip!!!!! Don't try to swallow. I hope this helps. Keep in touch, I'm right there with you. Surgery on 3/22!!! Prayers Tina

Good luck to you all! I will be two weeks on Thursday, surgery on 3/22 and I am already down from 234 to 219. I am 48 years old, so I hope my skin will bounce back some. Don't get on the scale too often, maybe just once a week. I'm doing great, but my advice 1. Find a protien powder you like. I love unjury esp the chocolate splendor, chicken soup & the cheese. 2. Buy a good insulated cup and keep it full a cold beverage. Sip, sip, sip all day long. Hydration is so important to your recovery. I make crystal light & add a protien flavor shot. It's not moch, but every bit helps. I don't care for the flavor shots by themselves. Keep in touch & ask anyone if you have questions.

I started the morning after surgery, which was a week early! I had my surgery done at Medical City Dallas which caters to WLS patients. My nurse said it is very common, though they don't know why???!!!???

I just went & bought one!!!

I was told decaf, but no limit. My nutritionist said if you are very good about staying hydrated, then one cup of coffee with caffeine is no problem. I am only 10 days post op so I haven't tried yet. Maybe in a couple of months.
