Everyone tells me about hating the aspertame, i dont taste it. I havent tried propel but will to see if i like it.

Hey guys. Im almost two weeks post op and beginning to think im a weirdo! Lately when I've been drinking i can literally hear and feel the water/protein shakes gliding down my sleeve. Is that normal, because I'm a little freaked out!!

Hello ladies. I just got sleeved a little over a week ago on may 17th. Im a big chested girl at 40d. I havent been able to put on a bra because its really uncomfortable against my incision. Any suggestions??

Thanks to everyone who responded. Massindex your comment is actually making me feel bad for having a little apple juice. Im doing everything right, getting all my protein and drinking all my water. If i want to have some apple juice i will. My choices will determine my success and thus far i have made the right ones. Apple juice isn't going to bring me down as your trying to implore.

Thanks debellafunk. I was reading different posts and getting a lil bent out of shape. I def needed the reassurance, its the only thing that gives me energy. Im tired all of the time.

Its no sugar added. Its just something that i like to have a coffee cup full of to have some sweetness. Is that ok?

Yes butterbean pressure cookers make meat really soft. For a double whammy you can start the meat in the pressure cooker and finish in the crock pot.

I feel your pain im almost two weeks out and thats how i felt for the first few days. Although it takes longer i would suggest taking about 3-5 mins between bites. That really helped me, you might just be going to fast. Hope that helps, best of luck. [=

I didnt have much pain just tightness. What i usually do is take a dose of my pain med and wait until it has me feeling lovely. Then turn on my side with a pillow under the part of my stomach im resting on. Take deep breaths and try to calm your muscles. For the first few nights i simply laid on my back at a 90 degree angle with pillows under me under me until my incision felt better.

Peaceful: no complaints doll. My pain meds aren't quite doing it either. I dont have any advice as far as the pain meds go but try talking to your doctor see if you can proceed to the next stage so you can have more of a variety. Stick to your protein shakes if thats all you can stomach. Good luck hun

Peaceful: Your choice wasnt horrible since your stomach was able to handle it. Its hard because you want to eat so bad! I can only suggest switching up the flavors of whatever your being allowed to eat. Unfortunately it is a waiting game with this surgery and you have to wait out this period. Try diff flavored popsicles, diluted juices, etc. I have always struggled with water so what i do to get it all in is bought a huge pitcher filled it with water and bought fruit. I cut up oranges, strawberries, kiwis, and lemon and put them in the pitcher to steep. I found that after letting them sit in the water for a day it gave the water a nice taste. Stay focused on the end goal not the right now. This to shall pass. [= good luck

Shouldnt have wrote protein shakes. Concentrate on your clear liquids. Drink as much as you can and no more than that. As you continue to heal you will build a better tolerance and "appetite " for liquids. I was the same way. Until you can start having some type of food protein should be the farthest from your mind.

Honey calm down, your only one day out. It isnt expected that you get in alot of liquids at this point. Drink as much as you can. If you cant get it all in you just cant. For about the first week or so it will be hard to drink alot. As long as what your drinking is protein shakes dont worry about it. Your not going to be able to drink as much as necessary being just one day out. Take it easy girl and give your body time. See you on the losers bench [=
