Follow what your surgeon says to make things smooth. I couldnt drink the Protein Water makes me sick I just sipped water till I could do shakes. I had trouble I do mean a lot of trouble with my liquids. Just didn't feel right. I had my surgery may 23 and today was my first day almost feelin bak to 100% hang in there hun gets easier :-)

K bare with me because it might take experimenting with pudding flavors and Protein powder flavors and amounts of each on your end to make this work!
In a blender I mix one scoop of Protein Powder. One cup of skim milk. One-two cups of crushed ice (blends better) blend all together. Then I add some pudding (your flavor of choice sugar free fat free) to help with the crappy Protein shake flavor that most don't like. Blend up nice and u have a wonderful shake. It even helps if u freeze it for a while before consuming. The smaller the shake easier to consume to get your Protein. Sometimes add less liquids to your powder to help make it smaller an more "do able".

Since I started my pre op diet on MAY 16 I am officially down 25 pounds total. Ahhhhhhh. Excitement.
Pre op I lost 12 lbs on my strict clear liquid diet.
I had surgery on May 23 and was up 2 lbs from the gas and fluids etc.
I came home from the hospital on May 24 and since then I lost 15 lbs!!
Loving my sleeve.

Definitely not. I'm still in too much pain to sit up in a chair for to long because of the location of my main incision. I have been waking up with an upset stomach everyday and by the time I get moving an take a shower I'm ready for some Tylenol from being so sore and laying down to rest. I'm giving it another week and I'm going to focus on healing that incision because I'm so ready to go back to work this being laid up crap isn't fun.

Well that makes sense. Dehydrating is like a huge thing an I didn't take it serious till I dehydrated my 2nd day home but gosh its so hard to drink when u feel pain everytime u take a small sip thank god that only lasted about 4 days. But anyways That's awesome and will be giving a great anniversary present to yourself "a new you"! Good luck!!!!

I feel the same. It has been difficult on me this summer. I have completely stopped going to my parents lake house because all my family and friends do up there is party. HOWEVER the look on their faces when they see me next summer will will make it well worth it. Lol. The alcohol I will hopefully learn to drink in moderation cause in the past that never worked for me. Being 21 is prolly much harder then me being 23 and semi over partying as much as I use to. But I still feel for ya. Anyone who loves their alcohol feels for ya. In the end they don't want you drinking a lot because of liquid calories. In the beginning I think it's ulcers right after surgery. We will all eventually learn to adjust. Good luck!! :-)
