Is it Vienna chicken sausage that you tried? Sausages in general are very fatty and made from a lot of stuff you wouldn't want in you. To boost my protein I add cheese to my egg white.

Are you supposed to be eating sausage? That's on my list of things not to have...I'm 6 weeks post op and 1 egg white satisfies me. Maybe the egg n the sausage is too much?

My partner and I both had this surgery. She July 8th 2013 and me aug 14 2013. I did the liquid diet with her to be supportive and to practice for my own liquid diet. Also with being first, gave me the chance to have a real life coach. I'm glad we didn't do it at the same time because we each got to help the other out. You never know how surgery is going to go so it's best if you can have that should to lean on so to speak if you need. You may need help showering or making broth or something simple that you never thought you'd need help with. (Like crushing pills, yes I couldn't work the pill crusher, I was too weak lol) Plus, I know if we were both laying up in the hospital at the same time my stress levels would have been extremely high worrying about if she's ok etc etc. The only downside was maybe about a 2 week period where I was on still on liquids and she was progressing to purée, wasn't a huge problem though as I had no desire to eat anything. Just that she had to feed herself...as I didn't want to see or smell food.

I pooped 12 days post-op and I had to take Milk of magnesia to go

I asked the x-ray tech..."is this supposed to taste like alien blood" the poor guy busted out laughing but I was oh so serious!!

Oh and by the way... Just because I'm fat doesn't mean that I have a double chin

Thanks for the compliment Justin lol I'll leave it at that :-D

Same thing happened to me the night before surgery....you should read my post "magnesium citrate but no poop"

That's the only type of broth I had, you can only drink what...4oz tops...you'll be fine plus that's what they gave me in the hospital. In such a small amount, the salt content is minimal, your body also needs sodium or you have start having thyroid problems.

I set up the stage for time off....for like a month I said casually to my coworkers that I had some discomfort in my tummy and said I need to see a doctor. Then I told them my doctor said I had a hernia and I needed to have it repaired....so when I asked for time off everyone automatically assumed it was for the hernia. My office is pretty small too, about the same as yours. No one there knows that I had the sleeve.

Lmao I was thinking pissed in Protein shake!

Girl stop lighting up that Mary J..oops I mean your family member lol it increases your risk for blood clots and slows down healing. Post-op it'll give you the munchies and it'll be torture for you with your lil stomach, oops I mean your family member.

You look great!! Very pretty lady, b4 and after!

Roflmao

Get em girl!!!! You look amazing!

Was it a constant pain? Or a quick pain. I'm asking because the side of my stomach hurts but it feels like a pulled muscle and it's not always there..comes on if I walk too much or lift something.
