To get in the fluids you really have to begin first thing in the AM and sip all day long.

They told me if you swallow gum you can be looking at another surgery, so they said no gum for life.

Unjury also has an unflavored protein powder that is 21 grams of protein. I didn't have a drain at all. Premier Protein is pretty good it's 30 grams of protein in 11oz it comes in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry you can purchase it at Sam's Club and Costco.

Hey Laura I'm feeling surprisingly good, I expected the worse so I am happy that I am experiencing the good. I just feel a little sore where they yanked out my stomach and I get a bubbly, burpie feeling when I drink. No I didn't compare you all to a 70 year old dude. She is a feisty 70 year old woman who got into a fight with her last roommate ( a 20 something year old) the last time she was in the hospital. I am so thankful for this site, I had to stop posting on the University of Michigan site because they don't believe in being honest. They want to treat adults like children and they take away you ability to chat if you say something they don't like, and damn it nobody puts baby in the corner!

Hey Laura-ven I'm feeling surprisingly good, I expected the worse but I am so glad that I am experiencing the good. I feel a little sore today and when I drink I have this bubbly burpie feeling in my stomach. No I didn't compare you all to a 70 year old dude she is a feisty 70 year old woman who got into a fight with her last roommate ( a 20 something year old ) in the hospital.

I just got back from the hospital today and I missed all of you wild girls and guys! I had a 70 year old roommate and we hit it off and now I have made a new friend for life.

Came home today was discharged at 5:00. My nurses told the Bariatric docs that they should hire me as a patient advocate because they were very impressed with my recovery, all I did was follow the advice of those who have gone before me. They said that I should be the poster child for this surgery. I feel very fortunate to have had such an easy time so far and I hope that it continues. All my fellow sleevers who are having a rough time you are in my prayers.

I just passed my leak test and I have been sipping broth, eating Jello and sipping water. I couldn't eat the Popsicle it made me sick. I feel pretty good I have also been walking every 6 hours. Gas pain is minimal and the hospital staff are wonderful and I also have a very nice 70 year old roommate. I am blessed.

Ah ha joltsaint is the real thread killer!

Ok March 18th sleevers I am on day 5 of my pre op diet and I have only lost 5 lbs. I am using the Unjury protein powders because that is what my Bariatric clinic wants us to use. When I did the six month diet and used other brands of protein powder I would lose like 10 lbs. in the first week.

I went to my pre op visit on Tuesday and my surgeon said that they don't test the portion of the stomach that they remove so my picture should look different.

Hey what does the number mean?

Off topic - Laura-ven- love the new photo
