Less sugars makes the liver shrink, which makes surgery easier. He's most likely doing this for safety reasons. I know it's hard, but it'll all be worth it, when you start losing the pounds and feel better and healthier. Hang in there!!

1. To become healthy, to decline my health problems that I currently have. 2. To finally be comfortable with myself and appearace. 3. To have a better life. 4. Wear "normal" sized clothing again. 5. To be happy.

I've been forcing myself to drink fluids, usually getting around 40 oz a day. I just would like to get the recommended 64 oz. Congrats on getting sugery. Hopefully it'll benefit you in the long run, and you'll be happier and healthier as a result.

Thing is, water is making me sick. Both in taste and in my stomach.

Thanks for input. I'll try it out. I do like Sobe. ^^

It's not good to weigh everyday. It's best to weigh once a week/two weeks. Body weight fluncuates, and even more so when you start introducing more foods.

1. sleeping on your couch might be easier than sleeping in your bed. Since I came home, I've been on the couch, sleeping on my back. Eventually, you'll be able to sleep on side, but for me, it's been easiest while still on the couch. 2. My tastes changed on the Protein drinks for post-op. You might have to change what you get, so go sparingly on this. 3. You'll probably need something to help you easily use the bathroom. Maybe invest in gel stool softeners. If you don't use the restroom atleast once during the week, speak with your doctor/surgeon. Not using the bathroom for two weeks is BAD!

I'm new, recently sleeved. I'm trying to find something that mixes, but it doesn't make a drink. Like the benefiber stuff. It mixes, but doesn't make a drink.

Hey guys. I'm needing to find a Protein powder, but not the flavored kind. I'm trying to find the kind that mixes like benefiber. Mixes, but tasteless. Suggestions? Stores? Also, I'm needing atleast 45 grams a day.

Congrats on your big day. You might prefer sleeping on a couch, on your back, for the first few days/weeks. After I was sleeved (10/24) I had to sleep on the cough, on my back. I hate sleeping on my back, though. Now, on the cough, I can sleep on my side, but ONLY on the cough, not on the bed. Good luck!

I've done hot chocolate once or twice, but I'm looking for cooler beverages. Thank you for input, though. C:

I'm officially two weeks post-op as of 11/7/13. I'm struggling with finding things that are low calorie/low sugar to drink. I understand Water with crystal light, but I've gotten sick of the taste. I've also drank my share of zero calorie/sugar sports drinks. Any suggestions?
