Crystal light makes sugar free hard candies...there not bad...

Yea!!! Congrads girl !!!!

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words I know this too will pass..the pain is aweful it hurts so bad sometimes ,but I force my way through it and get up ,go for my walks..drink my fluids as much ad I can...and go about my day...not sure how much I've lost but my body feels different,not ready to weigh in just yet, but I will

Congrads...you will be fine!! Prayers going up for you

Yes I have it...I use it not as often as I probably should but at least 3x a day

Thank you for your concern!!

No just started full liquids today nothing much really...

The nurse suggested some to me I bought but haven't taken it...but I know this is weird...if we are not eating anything..and only doing liquids/ broth what's gonna come out?

Had mine done on 9/4 and nothing for me either

1 week post op from frisco tx...hello everyone

Ok so just focus on Water and protein? What is a good protein to have post op..the nector makes me ill...I did muscle milk post op with almond milk..is that good or too much?

I don't feel full Im just not hungry but I know I have them

Both

Thank you everyone for your support..late yesterday through all the pain I got with the help of my daughters got my shoes on and went for a walk...it hurt like Hell but I made it through...came home shower made my own broth sat up in the bed for a ling time heating pad in place and watch movies with my favorite girls..woke up this morning walked again little further this time and feel better today ...combination of the what if's ,feeling alone and a lil depression made it worse..but looking at their faces and all of my new bff on here made s difference..thanks again...GOD bless each and everyone of you !!

A week post op and I'm not sure if I'm getting enough of what I need...was on clear liquids until today now full liquids..started this morning with protein shake around 7 it got finished around 11 in between that water...around 1 2-3 oz of cream of squash not to think not to thin..nothing to drink yet..it just doesn't seem like enough..am I on the right track?

It's a lil better went for a long walk too a nice hot long shower...had some Isopure and soup thin out like water..LOL I know its all for the better but like I said before going at it alone its a bit hard a stressful so I think I needed to vent. Thank you ...means a lot

I'm sure your right...I want to follow my Dr orders but I think your right...Im gonna eat some cream soup and see what happens..

I'm not sure I'm on full liquids starting Tuesday for 3 weeks so sometime in there I guess

Everyone is different...I met a lady on her right before I had mine and she had no problems at all...everything went well. So it just depends on you..you will be fine...support is the key as long as you have that it will make all the difference

I'm 5days out and I'm in pain...can't eat anything/ drink broth...certain smells make me nauseous..but I am walking using a heating pad..trying to take in as much protein as I can and water and crystal light seems to work...

Ok ...never been

I go back and forth with it....I had my surgery because I've had so many health problems and the weight came on from take sooooo many different meds...I think after finding out that I had this genetic heart disease and having to add 2 more pills to my menu it just kind of threw me..so I'm dealing with that ..you know I keep thinking ...what if I went through this and it changes nothing with my heart and I still have to take this five course meal of meds...and deal with everything else that goes with it.. Idk I think if I had more support it would be different. It's just me and my daughters and they are both in college and I don't want them stressing about their mom. But they have been awesome..like wardens really..LOL I'm sure in a week I will be singing the praises of this sleeve, right now I just want the pain to stop and not to see another bowl of broth ever again...LOL

I stop taking mine because they didn't work even after I took two at a time..I can't take hydro so be gave me ultram and it does nothing not even put me to sleep...I'm still on liquids until see my Dr next week.. so hopefully I will get to the next phase. I'm suppose to go back to work on the 18 th so I'm gonna need a miracle...now I'm questioning my decision...you know before I had this done I wad numb...not scared or excited just ok whatever kind of feeling...now I'm like WTH!!!

Have my appointment tomorrow trying to wait it out...
