Wow - sounds like fun - and what are protein pancakes and how do I make em

Please don't get discouraged - this will not last.

There's a lot of dairy in the pudding. Soy milk was probably OK, maybe try clear liquids for just a day or 1/2 day. Hydrate and don't worry about getting in the protein or calories. Did they give you Prevacid? (Omiprazole) You take it once a day. I think that really helped me a lot. Calms the stomach.

Could be dairy but it could have been the acid from the Tomato soup. Tomatoes have ahigh acidic content and if you are having issues with acid "Stay Away" Good Luck tonight let us know if it gets better.

I would try staying away from dairy, see what happens.... I have had it happen to me...... very hard to pin point........

This is great! Hope my experience is as great as yours.

Oh it was this little device that you blow in and it has a ball, i think it is called a spirometer, you have to blow in for about 15 mins every hour, it helps expand your lungs and I am assuming it helps keep them clear. I was told it was to help prevent pneumonia.

Thanks for this--it's so nice and detailed. I'm glad for the advice about not exchanging to pesos. Quick question: can you explain a little more about the breath tube to prevent pneumonia? This is the first time I've heard of it.

No problem, I tried to remember everything lol

Thanks for writing this out!

Thank you ladies. Yeah, i pretty much figure that's what the change is or that maybe they didn't take their vitamins and now they're wacky haha. either way i'm SO excited...and i can't wait to have my own "after" picture too. haha =)

Well since she said everything I was thinking ( and way more great points), just want to say your pics are really pretty. Your style rocks and I can just imagine how great you would look in a pinup style "after" picture!

Great first entry. I've heard lots of people talk about how people "change" after WLS. I've known a number of people and let me tell you how they've changed...

More confidence - not bad at all, most people just can't take it that they now stand up for themselves now and won't be pushed around or are no longer shy, etc.
Happier - not always but in many cases those I know are happier which means they don't allow drama into their lives any longer, so you know what that means to drama kings/queens...bye bye
More active - they are no longer the sit in the house and eat with me types, they move, have fun, travel, do all the things they didn't do before
Make more $$$ - not sure if this is a result of more earnings or less spent on medications, clothes, food
Take more risks - by this I mean they try lots more things that they were affraid/ didn't have confidence enough to try before, from new careers, to new relationships, to more self-love

The list really goes on and on. I guess what I'm trying to say is those that I know have really improved overall body, mind, and soul. So what actually I've seen happen is the OTHER people can't take seeing them so happy and confident.
Best wishes you to on your journey!

Glad your feeling better today. Take it easy and better days are ahead.

Yes, the un-flavored protein does have milk in it as it says so on the container. My other protein powders do not have milk, or any lactose in them. I'm doing much better today thank God! Thank you all for your well wishes!

Glad you're feeling better, hope you feel better tonight.

I just got home today after getting sleeved , everything went well , Thank God, after reading your story , I will avoid milk ..... but I am wondering if I should continue my protein shakes ?
I hope that you feel better and dont have to go through that again.

You may be lactose intolerant it been hard drinking my own protein shake. My doctor also says don't eat or drink things cold or hot. May sure it is room temp.

I understand that having either the sleeve or the bypass can cause you to become lactose intolerant. You would have to talk to the dietitian regarding if that includes the whey protein, since that is made from milk. Sorry you had such a set back - you sure have had a time of it. It will get better!!!!!

You said you had some beef bullion with protein powder in it. Did the protein powder contain milk?
Im so sorry you had a bad evening but its a good thing you went to the hospital just in case it was something really bad.

Sorry you had such a rough night new, but I'm glad you don't have a leak or anything. I hope things continue to improve for you.

Congrats!!

Good luck.....I guess my surgeon is booked till January so I have to wait. I've got my fingers crossed for you..hope you hear positive news soon.

The sky is the limit!!!! Congrats! I am so happy for you. If you get it done this year, you want have to meet another deductible. Please check on that so you want have surprise expenses.I have NC BCBS. They told me if I wait until next year, I may be paying it myself cause I already meet deductible for this year. I am praying I hear APProved by fri so I can hopefully get surgery date 11-26 or sometimes in Dec! I called yesterday, they say it is pending!!

Yeah maybe. I have to ease my way into that 10 day liquid diet. Mostly because I want to eat ALL OF THE THINGS right now and this is keeping me from doing that.
Like right now I really want to go to Zaxby's and get some chicken strips.
