June 2013 Sleevers GROUP
That's me that's allergic to whey and I hope that is not whats going on with you guys! It's awful trying to get even 30g a day in through food but if your makin your shakes with milk try switching up to soy or silk milk. If that don't help try with water! I just don't wanna hear you guys have to go through same as me. It's making everything way harder

I keep meaning to ask dr what size bougie (sp?) he used n forget. I went from 331 on the 12th which was surgery day down to 305 yesterday at follow up visit n today at 309 . Makes me wanna not eat n just stay on liquids but not enough diff things to have clear liquid either lol oh well maybe tomorrow will b better

Help! Cant drink almost anything but doc says there is nothing wrong with my stomach
I had same problem and had to call surgeon at 1130pm last night... He had giving me a zofran script and today I am drinking alot more and can tolerate more then just water. Another thing is I add crystal lite or kool aid or mio to water and I have gotten almost 3/4 of a water bottle n maybe 3oz protein drink down and it's only 2:10pm. Keep your head up n talk to ur surgeon. The zofran is making a huge diff on top of the 2 other acid reflux nausea meds I been taking
