FYI, sometimes after this surgery you become lactose intolerant. I cant mix my shakes with milk or I get sick.

I was put on nexium for 6 months and warned not to miss one dose. I am still on full liquids but see the nut tomorrow and hopefully can move to the next stage. The last few days I have been feeling the liquid go down which is strange as this had gone away. Smaller sips. I am ready to be off the liquids as I am not meeting my goal with the protiens or water. Still a little sore in one place, went back to work full time Monday. Smoothie king has a smoothie that was on my "approved" list. Been going there daily .this is my 5th week of liquids, pre-op and post op. down around 15 lbs,

Smoothie king is awesome. I can't drink the shakes if they have milk in them.

I also had surgery on the 20th. Down about 17 lbs, returned to work full time today. Still on full liquids, will find out Thursday when I can advance. Not getting enough Protein in. Worried bout my air falling out. Smells can make me sick. Over all I am feeling good.

I also feel ever sip. I can't start full liquids until Monday. Still sore but getting my fluids in via decaf tea and broth. Water well I never liked water. I also have a hard time finding a good position to sleep in. Post op appointment said everything was good. Everyday gets easier.

Ginger, how did your surgery go??

I am so glad I found this thread. I am 4 days out and not feeling great. Look forward to feeling better soon. Thanks for all the responses

Me either . My doctors office told me to start using a straw, been a big help. But the contrast has also caused me problems.

If you were sleeved Monday wondering how you are doing. I am very sore, cannot take the pain meds. Please share your journey

Ginger, Mine is Monday also. I have to be on clear fluids over the weekend. I am scared and nervous also. Good luck to you

I am on day 12 of my preop diet. I had to go off my oral meds and switch to a sliding scale. I also discovered that Splenda raises my blood sugar and my protien shakes has that in there.

Yeah, so excited for you. Mine in scheduled for Monday.
