Yes i had to drink that stuff before surgery...it does work, but im not sure if its too late for that for me :/ think im gonna try suppository. ...n pray it works.

Im scared to eat because i am so constipated its ridiculous. I just want to cry. Yes its that bad. Stool softeners arent working..im hoping once i get some MOM it will work, although ive heard it doesn't work for some. Im trying to drink a lot more i just know im on the verge of dehydration. I forever have cotton mouth, my skin is starting to get really dry, im not peeing like i should..probably only two times a day..ugh suucks. Oh side note...i keep having muscle spasms and my hands and feet keep tingling..dont know what thats from. But this constipation has got to GOOOOOO i cant take it!

It sure does say whey in the ingredients smh..Oops. I guess i was used to seeing it in huge letters on the front 100% WHEY PROTEIN ...lol

Im two weeks post op and looking for different Protein powders. I was wondering if anyone has tried GNC total lean Lean shake?? I know nothing about protein powders, but i know that the nutritionist recommends whey protein...if the lean shake doesn't say whey is it not whey? I did get a Protein Powder from walmart and it made me extremely sick! And that was whey protein...I dont know i guess im trying to figure out if the Gnc lean shake is ok to drink?

Thanks, and congrats to u as well! We got this! Buh bye fat!

Today makes 2 weeks post op for me. Im so excited that ive been seeing results! My highest weight was 333lbs, Im now down to 299lbs! Im FINALLY under 300lbs I haven't been under 300 since i had my first son 5 yrs ago, so this is exciting. And today i put a pair of jeans on, and man! They are way to big now! I know this is just the beginning and i already feel so blessed...blessed that i even got this opportunity to change my life for the better. How are all of you doing who had a July surgery??

Are the calcium chews the calcium citrate too?

Thanks guys, Very encouraging.

Im ten days post op, and realized I need different powder because the one I bought makes me extremely sick. Thing is, I have to go without it until I get my check four days away! Im trying to eat as much protein as I can, but i know its not near enough.. I've also been getting sharp pains in my head randomly..I don't feel like I can drink enough during the day either...im taking my vitamins like im supposed to...I guess im starting to feel kinda overwhelmed or something..I don't think im doing anything right. Ugh.

Im 9 days post op, and just started my protein drink yesterday. .and when i drank it i got really really sick...i thought i was going to throw up..and yesterday i made it with milk so i thought maybe it was the milk, but i just made some again today with water....and same thing happened! Just not as bad because i only took 3 sips because i was scared..Is this normal? I was drinking protein drinks before surgery and i was just fine...maybe i just need to try a different kind. Although i hate to spend money on something i wont be able to drink..ugh

Oh ok great! Ill check it out. thanks

Yes, those are the ones i have. Which calcium Vitamins are you taking?

Omg that sounds delicious lol Thanks!

I got calcium in pill form, not knowing that the pills are HUGE and i cant swallow them...is there any other way i can try and take them? Like smashing them or something? Or did i just waste 10 dollars on these pills ill never take....help!

Any pureed food ideas out there? My doc said I didn't need to puree everything i eat, but make sure its smooth consistency...

Yeah, thanks a lot! I can schedule it out now and be ready for tomorrow.

So tomorrow I start taking my Vitamins...only thing im not sure when to take them. Can somebody give me an idea of how i should take the vitamins throughout the day? When do you take yours? 1 week post op.

Hang in there! Im just a week post op exactly..It was hard for me to pee as well and was threatened with the catheter lol..i just kept on sipping! Sip sip sip!

I went to my one week appointment...and I finally get to move on to pureed foods( only for one week, then soft foods) and start taking my protein and vitamins! I also found out I lost 6lbs..so a total of 22lbs now so the freaking out i did yesterday thinking i gained was for nothing lol smh Im staying away from the scale until my next appointment in a 1 month! Lol So i came home after my appointment and ate Tuna and Zucchini! It was delicious lol considering I haven't been able to eat food in awhile. ..i was nervous at first, but it all went down smooth, and stayed down! So Im a happy camper. Lol

Im a week post op and gained 5lbs! What the heck is this about? Im kinda upset about this.

At this point Ill take the pureed stage...Im so over the liquids..I want something with some substance. ..I already have some meals planned out lol
