Re: Protein.< /p>
Has anyone tried skimmed milk? My surgeon's nurse practitioner said its good for getting protein in. I have a latte for Breakfast daily and add milk powder to my Soups. It's working for me...

Well, had my surgery on the 19th. Not much pain at all except for gas. I could inflate a blimp right now...lol I had to stay 2 nights and got home this morning. I slept great last night, about 10 hours. So far so good on getting Water and shakes down. How are all my other 8/19 mates doing? Great I hope.

On the way to the hospital... 8:30 check-in, surgery at 10:30! Nervous but SO ready! Good luck to all the fellow August 19th sleevers!!

I am up and ready. Reporting to the hospital for 6am. I pray for minimal gas pains and less prodding. I am going to put on my big girl panties and suck up the whole experience.
See you all on the losers bench.

Well, tomorrow is the big day and I get to be the first patient of the day for my Dr. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I am so ready to start this new chapter of life. Yes there has been nerves and second guessing but in the end, I know I am making the right choice. I have lost around 23 pounds during my pre op diet and I am slowly starting to feel a difference already. All my chores are done, yard is mowed and I have made arrangements for someone to mow for me next week. Now it is time to sit back, relax, enjoy some lime Jello, chicken broth and Water (I am on Clear Liquids only today), and get ready. Good luck to all my August 19th surgery mates! I hope and pray that we all have flawless procedures followed by minimal pain and discomfort! Speedy recovery to everyone. Now bring it on!!!

I had surgery thursday and oh boy i was sooo bad yesterday, i guess it was a combination of buyer's remorse, gas pains, hunger, and the anesthesia effect but i was not a happy camper. Today thats another story, i slept all night, had my Protein Shake in the morning and some liquids as well,i also found energy to shower! Im soo much better not in a lot of pain and also im more comfortable with my decision of having the sleeve done. My mom has been a great help with my boys but my husband has been a little too distant and busy outside of the home, i guess he cant deal with seeing myself in pain but i resent his decision of going to work instead of staying with me o well I'm sure its just my emotions that are all over the place!

I, ve survived yay lol, yesterday I was pretty much out of it all day and night, remember coming round and was freezing and nausea, they gave me something and I was just in and out of sleep, today I got up had a shower, and i, ve been walking around whenever i, ve had a bit of gas pain, got to say its not been too bad, just been sipping Water and tea all day, tried a bit of brothe but couldn't manage more than a couple of spoonfuls having a fruit smoothie in the morning :-D cant wait after nothing but milk and yoghurt pre diet, hows all you guys doing? Hope its all gone well every1 and goodluck any1 having it soon :-D

WOOHOO! I'm a sleeved woman!!
That being said, I think I'm doing ok.
I've been up to walk 4 times already, pain medicine is working wonders and the gas pains are actually worse than the incision pains!
So far so good... just REALLY thirsty!!

I, m sat waiting to be admitted my op is today so scared and excited about the future :-D

Good luck August sleevers. I'm 3weeks post and i will tell you, stay strong on the pre-op diet. It was hard and depressing and I kept freaking out that I was never going to be able to eat or enjoy food again. Not so. The pre-op is the hardest part. Wish I hadn't stressed so much during it. You all are going to be so happy in a few weeks!!! I'm excited for you. Hang in there. The good stuff is coming.

I woke up this morning came down stairs to find Protein Cookies wrappers in the living room!!!
Well there is only one person that stays up later than me in this house..It's a 17 year old girl child that I'm patiently waiting for to come down the stairs so I can pounce!!
