Im day 4..or 5.. I dont know if I count surgery day as day 1 or not. . Anyway.. I cried this morning! First time in months probably! I felt sorry for myself because I've been stuck in the house. . Can't eat.. hate the Protein shakes.. and feel weak! Im over it now, but doubt it's the last time it is gonna happen!

Thanks for the opinions... I do agree I need to speak with my doctor............. Just wanted to know who started when.

I know I should follow my doctors plan but I really think starting puréed foods early would be beneficial to me If I don't over do it. All my muscles are cramping and I'm sooo weak because I can not mentally tolerate protein shakes! I have no pain and my stomach has tolerated everything well! I just want opinions.. I'm day 4 now.. On full liquids that includes cream based soups.. I am Supposed to start soft foods day 12.

Join a new fitness class to meet people! Or think about how good you'll look if you don't eat the junk. ..lol

My nut suggested it.. Crazy how they all say something different.. And I might be crazy but i enjoy the taste of the acai berry flavor one! Lol!

Supposeively cause diarrhea as well....

A lot of people on here say its the wrong protein we need. I also know our body can't absorb that much protein in 1 sitting so is best to split it up in halves or thirds.

I'm 3 days out and am not getting enough protein in! I am on full liquids and Do not care for these sweet protein shakes. I'm ordering the unflavored protein to put in my cream soups but still worried I won't get enough!

Hey guys, had my surgery on the 3rd! Bring listerine strips! I constantly had a bad taste in my mouth and they made me feel so fresh!

How are you feeling?

I've heard that before... Do you know why?

Thank you! I will continue with my b12 gummy until my doc tells me otherwise!

The drops make me nauseas.. Anything cherry does really... Gamergirl.. How far out are you? You do1 serving a day of b complex which is 2 gummies?

Does it work?

Im 2 days out and having a hard time drinking anything flavored.. So trying hard to get protein in.. The gas x strips instantly make me burp which is such a relief! Try them! Also sitting up feels better then laying when I sip and burp.

Thanks!!!

Hi Vicki! Yes I used dr bellanger at st Elizabeth's hospital and the staff was unbelievable. I just had to do 1 small breakfast, and clear liquid the rest of the day for the day prior to surgery! I feel good now. Just trying to figure out how much to drink and when! Anesthesia gave me a very sore throat and I'm still drowsy but no nausea really. At the moment I can't tolerate anything cold or flavored so I'm only drinking room temp water. I will try to work on protein tomorrow.

Thank you! I will be thinking of you! Listerine strips have been saving my life so far! Only advice I have as of now!

I found a gummy b12. I wonder if I could do that? I need to ask my dr. I know.. But he has said I could do gummy Multi.

Luwells, so glad to hear that! I hope i have smooth sailing from here on out! I have been walking my behind off(literally I hope), and still no poots.. Only burps! So I hope I can poot Tom so I don't have horrible gas pains.

You'll do great butterfly! I have been losing my mind the last week bc I was so nervous!l where are you getting sleeved? I'm in Louisiana

I'm 12 hours out and feeling great!!!

I have Aetna and have been great!i really feel likei have been so lucky so far. I'm still at the hospital And I don't leave until Tom by I feel great! Getting gas bloat though ad can't seem to poot.. Just burp. Sorry tmi.. I can't feel my incisions and they look beautiful as of now! I have been so nervous about liquids though.. I literally take 2 iny sips an hour and feel like I'm gonna pop. My prop diet consisted of Clear Liquids the day before surgery! That's I!

I also did the 3 month prep course for my insurance and remember I couldn't sleep waiting to turn in my paperwork! It only took 2 days for an approval and now I'm getting sleeved tomorrow! Whew! Time passes so quickly your date will be here be4 u know it'
