If they are sugar free? You should be ok to use. Have you tried isopure mixed with crystal light lemonade? I did that with the blueberry/raspberry & I LOVVVE IT!!! You don't taste the protein after taste & it's so refreshing. Just my opinion. Congrats on joining the losing team!!! Yeah for us!!!

You will do great!! Stay strong & positive & do what your doctor tells you to do & you should be fine. Saying prayers for comfort during your recovery.

I was very lucky and had no issues. I highly recommend right out of recovery, put a heating pad on your back for a few hours then switch to your front side. It helped so much with gas!!! Today is day 4 & I still have NOT had to break out my Gas-X strips yet!!! Good luck!

Me too , I brought my laptop but haven't use it. I was sleeply. I would check in here and then to sleepy to do anything but walk the halls.

I immediately used my heating pad once I came from recovery. I placed it on my back and slept. Then I slept for two hours , then I placed it on my front on my chest and I hardly had any gas! I think that's the key. I was sooooo scared! I walked a lot also. But I really feel the heating pad has helped. I bought gas-x strips but I haven't had to use them yet. Try the heating pad and see if that helps.

So u took jello or pudding and put it into the Protein shake? If so, was it in powder form or already made?

Thanks for the tip!

You will do great! I am 2 days out and feeling great! I was one of the lucky ones! Not much pain for me. I got dry heaves a couple of times but nothing like having a c-section or breast reduction. This was a cake walk compared to those two! You need not to worry, you got this sister!!! Sending prayers for comfort & quick healing!!!

I was sleeved on Monday the 24th & feeling the same as u, no erge to eat & on liquids for the first two weeks.

Good luck! I'm still in the hospital 2nd day and feeling great!

I bet u will be shocked when u check in at the hospital on how much more weight you've lost! My first week was only 3 lbs!!! How exciting!!!

I was just sleeved yesterday morning at 7:15am & on Sunday evening I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. My doctor DID NOT tell me to, but I wanted to "cleaned out" it didnt kick in for 3 hours. Then it was just watery. Probably because the last two days I just had Protein drinks. I could not sleep the two niggts before at all either. But for me, I've been one of the "lucky" ones. No major issues! I did have an reaction with my i.v. though. My arm swelled up in the needle spot the size of a tennis ball! I guess the vain was real small and it didn't get in The right spot. I did have gas pains, but only hurt when I TRIED to drink!!! My tummy is sore but that's been a cake walk for me! I have walked several times around the nurses station and that has helped a lot!!! One other thing I 've not heard on here is that it's hard to pee. I haven't drank but one&a half oz. Of beef broth and did it to fast & got sick. So the only oth fluids I've had jave beem through the I. V. I finally voided about an hour ago! I have NOT HAD BUYERS REMORSE yet. Praise God!!! On my 2 week pre-op diet that was low carbs , I lost a total of 13lbs!!!! Hope this helps calm your nerves. I will pray for you and the rest of the JUNE SLEEVERS!!! Stay blessed!

I'm on my way to the Hospital now, have to be there at 5:30! Surgery at 7:30! Good luck to all the sleevers this morning!!! Sending {{{{hugs}}}} & prayers!

Thanks! I can't sleep! I gotta get up in 4 1/2 hours!!!! Gotta be there at 5:30!!!

I'm taking 2 weeks off.
