DaVinci (like Torani) makes a sugar free eggnog syrup! You can add it to vanilla Protein Shake and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. I've been doing that & it's keeping me from missing my Starbucks eggnog latte!

Everyone is different. I was maybe a 5-6 immediately post op and I had a hiatal hernia repair too. Had tylenol IV no narcotics and brought it down to a 4 and never went above that. Haven't used a thing since I went home 2nd day post op.
C section was MUCH worse and gallbladder was worse as well.
I had very little gas pain and nausea was well controlled with scopolamine patch.

Pretty common after effect of going under anesthesia. It's hard/painful to take a deep breath.

Have you tried one that's not all whey isolate? I found I just can't stand whey isolate, but when I tried a blend (synthrax matrix for me) it was a whole different thing

Struggling with getting my eating/drinking balanced here (eating here being soup/yougert/cream of wheat/etc). I would love to do what you are suggesting, it's dang hard to "eat" for me. But then how do you balance the drinking? If you can't drink 30b4/30after....I am having a heck of a time. If I ate a couple of bites every 20 mins when would I drink?
I was so proud of myself getting in all my Water Sunday and as soon as a started "eating" it got much harder!

My surgeon uses them on a case by case basis. He warned me I might wake up with one, but I didn't. He said some people build up more Fluid than others and it helps prevent infection in those people. Maybe some surgeons techniques cause more fluid build up? Or maybe some are more cautious.

Wow I guess I am lucky! Insurance paid for most of my prescriptions. A week of Levonox was only $24

I was sleeved Monday and came home yesterday evening. Pain was very tolerable for me, my heart goes out to you who are suffering =(
I am really impressed by those of you doing broth and Jello and all already! I am lucky if I can get in all my Water. First sip is ok but second hurts. Luckily they didn't require me to do the broth or shakes they brought me before I was able to leave or I would still be there. So much more comfortable at home.
I am hoping to try some Protein Shake tomorrow. Maybe part if a Popsicle or a bite of jello later today.
Praying for all you folks going in tomorrow!

Yes! I 2 days out as well (surgery Monday) and I can usually get one tiny sip down pain free but the second hurts. Was just coming on here to ask the same question!
