So you were having milk in the Protein Shakes while on clear fluids?

What are you mixing it with?

Can anyone tell me which Protein Shakes they were having right after surgery? Right now I use Premier Protein or body fortress with skim milk.

No gum after surgery??? WHAT??

I was informed you CAN have gum, but it can NOT be bigger than a piece of trident.

What surgery did your friend have? The bypass?!

I don't plan on smoking again. Like I said I only had about 5 cigarettes since feb 18. I don't crave it.

Your hungry? Or you want to smoke? My surgery is Wednesday.

They haven't told me they are doing a nicotine test. And I've only smoked 5 since feb 18 so I'm guessing I will be ok. My surgery is april 24th I last smoked one last Wednesday because I've been so stressed.

I quit smoking cigarettes feb 18th but I've had a few since then maybe about 5....

Is anyone still smoking or has anyone started smoking again?

Did anyone quit so they can this procedure? Does anyone still smoke and its less than 6 weeks before your procedure?

I'm supposed to have 3 Protein Shakes 2 apples 6oz of lean mea with as many non starchy vegetables I want

Has anyone not had a strict pre op diet? What kind of pre op diet were you put on?

I had a c section and mmy gall bladder out. I'm scheduled to have a sleeve on 4/24 and so far I thought the c section was my worse. The gall bladder was easy for me.

Has anyone had their gall bladder out or a c section? If so which was more painful the c section, gall bladder or the sleeve?!

I'm scheduled for april 24th....i am excited but now I'm starting to get nervous

Thanks! When I had a c section I was going up and down the stairs 4 days out

How soon after the surgery are you able to walk up and down stairs? My procedure is 4/24 but I have stairs where I live
