Just picked up some Isopure before surgery. I got it cold and started to drink, yak it's not so good. As expensive as it is, and I bought 4 bottles, I tried to figure out what to do. Well I have Hawaiian punch drink sticks, so I added about half a stick. Much better. I have the fruit one and a pineapple fruit one. Just wanted to share if anyone else needs to try it. Also, If you look under Protein shakes in Pinterest there are good recipes to make your shakes better.

Too bloated to weigh in

I've been eating cream soups, no chunks, the warm helps me feel full.

I was sleeved on the 22nd as well and no bm for me either. Today is the first day to pass gas and am very happy to do it. Lol. Never thought farting would make someone so excited and boy am I excited.

Got home around 2pm, took a nap, started on protein shake. Tried some cream soup, just a couple sips. TMI: I really need to poop. Lol. Got some Miralax, but nothing yet. Sure wish I could get a good fart. Lol. At the hospital I walked and walked and walked. So much so, that other nurses knew my name. But still sad to say, no passing gas. Even though its not considered lady like, I would have done it and be proud, I'd declare, yep, that was me. I miss the hospital bed, it did all the sitting up for me. All the nurses were awesome and had great personalities. But I am so glad to be home, Anna didn't want picked up so I wouldn't feel bad. My UnJury shake was really good, especially with milk. My Isopure is more tolerable with a flavor stick. Just glad to be home again.

Bowels Boules ??

Yep,,I'm still in ICU.. Glad, cause I don't want the flu that's going around. Maybe I'll get to mild ICU. Walking and burping. Lol

Today is Saturday, one of the docs sail if I'm still doing good I can go home. One of the drains keep leaking, and I have to wear the pain bulb home. Trying to eat is umm, interesting, I can get a couple bites down, that's it. The bowels are still asleep, no gas, no poo, no fun! Lol

I'm in the hospital 4 days post op and I have really dry mouth, I have been npo all those days. Yesterday they allowed me ice chips, there hasn't been enough time to say I'm doing something wrong. There's probably a ton of reasons why your suffering. Back off the food stuff and introduce one thing at time.

In ICU cause there was a part of the stomach that the staples couldn't get to. He was worried about leaks. I had alot of scaring and he wanted to keep an eye on me. He sutured it.

Definatly, Chapstick , and I needed extentionn for phone and iPad.

Have to be up at 3:30am, arg, be at hospital at 5:30am, surgery set for 7:30am. I am so not a morning person, glad I get to sleep through it. Lol. I feel more bad for my Hubby, yep I said Hubby! Lol

Doesn't it feel great, my surgery is tomorrow morning but I had to lose liver fat before and lost 40lbs. Getting out of plus sizes was the greatest feeling. Kuddos to you!

Will keep you posted.

Tomorrows the big day, leaving at 4:30 am, Indy time, surgery at 7:30 am. Here we go!

My Nut said no, if you read the ingredients there's about half of what you need. I can't find a good chewable so I'm being bad and taking the gummies, post op for first week.

Thanks all!

Same here, mine is at 7:30am. Indy time. May God be with you and a quick recovery!

Does small spoon, small fork etc help?

That's scary!

I was told that they will put it on in recovery to have it there when I get to the hospital.

So sorry, hope everyone made it out ok.

What is PB2?

I need to frame this, thank you!
