I'm having trouble drinking the three shakes a day, plus water, and food. I've looked at some protein pills, some say how much protein is in them and some don't. Has any found any protein pills that are worth purchasing?

I'm just a week out and the heartburn was killing me. I'm taking over the counter prilosec, but my doctor said they would do a prescription med if they had too. If it doesn't work call ur doctor. I'm no mushy foods and I feel like it just sits in my throat for a couple of hours before it goes on down, idk. i'm use to get me a drink of water to help things move on, but you can't do that, I did the other day and thought I was gonna die. I hope it gets better for you.

What does your doctor say? And also do you have alot of weight to lose? I've got about 200 left to lose now, I was sleeved Friday (10-8) and have lost 16 lbs. and, lost 18 on post op diet. I don't want to lose my weight as fast as I'm losing it either, but I've been sick the last two days with vomitting and diarrhea. Are you scales accurate? I went and bought a brand new digital set and paid quite a bit for them. I'm just like you, I say, "I'm not weighing today," but let me walk past the scale early in the morning and I'm on them, lol. You may get up one morning and have dropped 4 or 5. Keep doing what you know is right and talk to your doctor about it, seems to me that is all you can do at this point. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED!!!!!

I was sleeved Friday and mine has been more pain to me than the surgery. My doctor said, as I lose weight it should get better and I should take prilosec or some liquid medicine. I'm taking malox right now. I think it will get better as the weight continues to come off.

Dr. Mark Gibbs in Little Rock. He's super nice and I love all his nurses.

Becca...I can't wait to do this! My dreams are about to come true. I've battled with my weight all my life and now others could look at me and say.."man i wished I looked that good."

Glad I've got a sleeve buddy, lol.

Is anyone else getting sleeved Friday? I am excited but nervous....and I must say the 2 week liquid diet is awful. I had horrible headaches the first couple of days and then my GERD (acid reflux) got horrible. Had to triple my medicine to calm it down. My husband comes home yesterday and tells me that his co-worker told him that he better tell me he loves me before I go into surgery. Okay, why did he tell ya that? Because another co-workers mom had the bypass done and never recovered from it and died 8 months later. I'm thinking gee thanks. I know he loves me, but it did get me to thinking the what if. I was nervous enough, dang! Wishing anyone else getting theirs good luck and I haven't weighed during my liquid stage, so I have no ideal how much I've lost.
