  1. I had fairly severe nausea in recovery, coming out of surgery. The doctor had to order them to double up on my nausea meds. After I got to my room, I felt fine. On Day 2 I had a rush of nausea that lasted under a minute then went away. I have had no more incidents yet and am five days out. I have a very weak stomach and so this was a concern for me. Glad it turned into a non problem.
  2. Thanks for the quick answer!
  3. I was scheduled to have a gastric bypass on 4/3, but came out of surgery with a sleeve. This was due to my intestine not reaching to it's attachment point for a bypass. I didn't really think it would ever happen since I was 8 BMI points below the risk of this happening, so all my pre-op education and research was based on having a bypass. So, today I just realized that I may be open to other types of Protein that I couldn't have with bypass. I was always told that the only kind of protein I would absorb was whey protein isolates. Since my intestines are still intact, I'm assuming that's no longer true. Could anyone please tell me if all types of protein are acceptable for sleeve patients? I feel as if I have kind of come into this blind since I had prepared for a bypass. After the little research that I've done since I've been home, I am so thankful for things turning out this way. The sleeve seems much safer long term and and every bit as effective.
