I like the Pure Protein bars or the EAS protein bars. I look for ones that give me the most protein in one shot and the Pure Protein bars have about 30 grams.

I had my surgery October 14, 2013 at Park Nicollet with Dr. Svendsen. I'm interested in that group you mentioned that meets in Blaine. I live in Blaine and can't get to the supprt group meetings in St. Louis Park during the week. Any information would be helpful.

I felt the same thing for a few days. It went away in a few days. Definitely take the acid reducers. I had stopped taking mine and the nurse told me it was important to reduce the acid so the stomach could heal properly.

I'd like to join. This is my first challenge so forgive me if I don't do somthing right.

I like balsamic glazed roasted carrots as a side dish.

I was also supposed to drink No Sugar Added Carnation Instant Breakfast for my preop diet. When I asked about it having a lower protein content I was told that they want us to drink it because it has all the vitamins and minerals in it. I drank it but I really don't care for it.

The bariatric and Centrum chewables made me sick so my doctor suggested Flintstones Complete which I can handle. I only take 1 per day.

Gurggling and strange noises coming from your stomach are completely normal. My clinich put me on an acid blocker for a month after surgery which helped. I had to split the pills though so they wouldn't get stuck. Not everyone has the loss of energy after surgery. I was sleeved on october 14 and was miserable in the hospital for 3 days with nausea but little pain and no gas. After I got home I had no more nausea and felt great. I wated to return to work after 1 week but my doctor wouldn't let me. I did also have diarrhea a few days after surgery so I had to stick close to home but it went away after 2-3 days. As for the Protein, I didn't have to worry about that for the first week post-op of Clear Liquids. After that, yummy Protein shakes were awesome.

I pureed cottage cheese with sugar free jello, chicken with gravy, and hard boiled egg with dab of mustard and vinegar (tastes like the inside of a deviled egg).

My clinic is fine with coffee drinking. I didn't drink coffee for the first week post op because i can only drink it with sugar free creamer and I was on clear liquids. For the first few weeks post of, it upset my tummy a little bit so I didn't drink much. I'm 8 weeks out now and can drink a cup in the morning and afternoon with no problems.

I'm in the metro and also had my surgery through Park Nicollet in St. Louis Park with Dr. Sevendsen. I was very pleased with the program and was well taken care of.

Protein powder will clump if it gets too hot. I believe the temperature to stay below is 120 or 140. unjury should have the correct temperature listed on their website.

I have PCOS, Hypothyroid, Pernicious Anemia and am pre-diabetic. I had infertility and also have miracle children. I had gestational diabestes with my last pregnancy (twins). I was sleeved on October 14, 2013 and have been losing weight pretty steadily. My A1c is down 2 points since surgery and my throid functions are better but not enough to change my synthroid dosage from 125mg. I still get acne and that hasn't changed. I still have the heavy periods also. I'm not sure if the fertility has improved but don't plan on finding out. All in all, I'd say that I haven't really seen many changes in my PCOS since being sleeved.

I know the feeling of "head hunger" well. I'm 7 weeks post and my tummy is full of the Protein shake I'm drinking but the leftover cake in the breakroom is calling my name.

I had my husband make sure I came through surgery ok and he visited me but I did not want him to stay. I was really sick and dry heaving and there was nothing he could have done to make me feel better anyway. I didn't want him to have to deal with me like that. Honestly, looking back on my stay now, it was all a blur.

I blended cottage cheese and sugar free jello. nom nom

I also really like Ensure High Protein shake bottles.

I like the EAS Myoplex lite in chocolate and vanilla.

My surgery date was October 14th. I've lost 19 since surgery, 44 overall. I had one week long stall already.

I get that feeling a lot because I have trouble eating slow. So far I've managed to keep the food down and not spit up but I fear that it may happen. Its frustrating when your eating something hot and you have to eat slow. By the time I'm ready for the next bite, the food has gone cold.

Hi, I'm 3 weeks post op so i have lots of experience with protein shakes. I used the unjury chicken and really liked it. I did find that I added more water than directed because it was a bit strong for my taste. There is no whey taste to it at all though. Make sure you don't heat it too much or the protein in it will clump. For shakes I like Boost and Ensure high protein and low calorie. Also I like the EAS Myoplex lite powder and shakes. You can always mix your own using a vanilla or chocolate powder as a base. Get some Torani sugar free syrups to add for different flavors. Hope this helps!

I'm October 14 in Minneapolis
