Oh ok thank you. I was having trouble pre op with my protein and my nut said I could add fruit when I'm post op but did not specify. What your telling me makes sense though. I'll just stay away.

Oh no!!! I had no idea now I'm scared I ruined it or caused damaged. I blended 3 strawberries in there with my 4 ounces of protein!! Do you think I caused severe damaged? What about mango pieces blended do you think that will be better? I'm scared now.

Thank you all for your replies. I added strawberries to my protein because it's disgusting w/o and helped me drink it. I've been drinking a ounce of water every 15 min and walking every hour for 5-10min all of sudden I get gas pain but nothing I can't handle I am taking my pain meds. I have not took the nausea ones because I've been ok w/o it. I'm just trying to stay hydrated and I'll just have some broth when my family has Christmas eve dinner. What there eating I love but I'm not craving it right now I'm just worried about getting better. Thank you all again.

Today is my first day at home I'm mainly concentrating in taking my protein and liquid in. Is it important to have my broth as well? Or can I build up to it? I know it might sound silly but I'm just curious.

Dr Scarbourough from tlc clinic. Houston Texas I was sleeved this Saturday.

I have had the shakes pre op but I thought it was because I text so much and on the computer all the time.

Yea I'm not too worried because at the hospital there keeping me hydrated I'm just going to try my best when I get home. I'm going to buy some gas x strips.

When I drink water I feel something that gets tight in my stomach then it goes away. I also get the hiccups all of sudden and I randomly just burp. On my lunch tray the brought me decaf tea I took a sip of that and it did the same thing. I think I'm just gonna have to stick it out into my stomach gets used to it because I definitely don't want to end up dehydrated. I don't think I'm ready to start on protein today (it's my third day) I'm going to ask the doctor if u could start my protein tomorrow.

Awesome that's what I have been doing, thank you. Still waiting in the doctor to discharge me.

I will definitely try that.

I'm going home from the hospital today. I get a pain every time I sip on my water. I'm scared to get dehydrated. The nurse told me just to force it. Did any of you have this problem any suggestions? Id really appreciate it. Thank you.

I have to stay a extra day = (. I have hiccups bad it feels like I'm going tear inside.

I had my surfer yesterday. I could not stay awake I was so sleepy all day. I did walk four laps. Pain well I keep pressing my pump my left side hurt specially when I cough. Water feels kind of heavy so I just sip. Other that I'm ok. Hope everyone is doing great.

Tomorrow is my big day I have to be there at 5:00am. I haven't been nervous I think because I've been concentrating on finishing my Christmas shopping lol. Right now I just felt a little scared because of what could go wrong and after. I think it's normal. I'm excited for the after part though =).

How are you doing with pain and gas?

You look amazing very inspiring to me!!! Great job! I'm scheduled for this weekend and a little nervous but seeing your pics it makes me happy thinking I could also achieve this weight loss lol.

I have BSBC of MI. I'm scheduled for Sat. I paid. 800. 00 on Thursday at my doctors and they told me the hospital might charge me a separate fee, I don't know why. Today the hospital called ugh to tell me I have a 2000 out of pocket and have only met 500 of it and my insurance pays only 80% of my surgery I have to pay the rest. In the morning they will tell me know how much I have to pay. I'm stressing now over this I hope it's not super high. I met my deductible already.

That's exactly how I drink my protein right now four ounces straight then later on again and so forth. I'm on pre op so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that after surgery.

Hope you are doing great. Wishing you a healthy and speedy recovery!!!

I was going crazy looking for a vitamin with added iron yesterday I never thought about the flinstones. My doctor told me I could take any chewable ones for now that I'm pre op and keep on for two post op weeks then start the biatric vitamin which he said I could purchase there at the office.

Lucky you, I make my protein for the day and just take sips trough out the day into I'm done with it. I did not think about the syrups. I will look for some thank you.

Maybe I should just stick to my protein. I struggle to drink it because for some reason it nauseates me the taste isn't too good and I don't want to be gagging post op when I drink my protein. I am drinking all the protein I was told to (I'm pre op) I was just curious if CIB is better. Im buying some things already since I'm scheduled for Sat.

I need help I'm not familiar with carnation instant breakfast it's on my list of acceptable things for my 3-14 days with 8 ounces of skim milk. Does anyone take this does this substitute protein shakes?
