Does anyone know the website that gives a free trial pack of Protein Shakes?

Sorry, I don't know why my last comment ^^^ came out like that.

Karlam-

Me too!! Super sensitive nose and often have a metallic taste in my mouth. I'm one week post-op bypass today.

Thanks jessica i thought im the only one!! I was goin crazzzy!! [/quoteI had a metallic taste with all 3 of my pregnancies. They told me it was a fluctuation of hormone levels. Hope it goes away soon. I was always miserable with it. :/

Other than that I've been okay. I'm getting all my liquids and Proteins in. I've lost 10lbs since Tuesday. I've only had to take 1 pain pill since being released from the hospital. I don't like the way they make me feel. I'm just behind on my walking. I literally have to crouch when I walk because of the pulling and tightness.

Thank you! I have a phone appt. tomorrow with the surgeons office so I will definitely let them know what I'm experiencing.

I was recently sleeved on July 1st and I wanted to know if it's normal to still have so much pain on my left side. When I stand up it feels like it's pulling. It's also swollen and I have a lump. I haven't been able to walk that much because the longer I'm up the tighter it gets.

Day 4: How many or how many ounces of Protein Shakes are you drinking? My book says 3 a day but that seems like a lot. What are you guys doing?

I'm starving! I'm so tired of this liquid diet. Has anyone started creamed Soups or yogurt yet?

Waiting to be admitted for 7:30 surgery! ????

Good Luck to everyone today!!

Thanks!

I can't believe by this time tomorrow we'll be in recovery! I'm super nervous! Hey does anyone know when we'll be able to drive after the surgery?

I cried yesterday on the way home from Sam's Club. I'm sure it's normal as we have so many emotions going through us right now! 2 more days!! Starting my clear diet today! Before you know it we'll be on the "Post side"!

At my pre-op appt. and the doctor is running 2 hours behind!

I did complete the hospital admissions paperwork and I'm all set for Tuesday! Just waiting on the dr. now....

I'm Scheduled for July 1st as well! I'm hating this preop diet! It's so hard to cook for my family and not be able to eat any of it! I wish the day would get here already!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm a little nervous as I only found out about it while looking over some of my paperwork. My pre-op appt. with my doctor is Thursday, 6/26 and hopefully he'll explain exactly what it is and what needs to be done. I don't want it to set back my surgery.

I was told at my last appointment I have a Hiatal Hernia and that the surgeon will fix it during the gastric sleeve surgery. My surgery is scheduled for July 1st. Has anyone else had this and what's your experience with it?

Oh wow! I cannot wait to experience the things mentioned above!! A few of my "can't wait to do's" are: 1. Fitting in a restaurant booth comfortably and not asking for a chair at the end. 2. Polish my toe nails. 3. Not worrying about where to park because I don't want to walk far. 4. Fitting on rides at theme parks. 5. Not having my pants roll down and constantly pulling them up (and my shirts rolling up). I have plenty more but I'm excited to start this new journey ahead of me. My surgery date is July 1st and I'm ready!!!

Hi! I'm 38 years old, 5'2, and weigh 247lbs. My insurance finally approved my surgery today and my surgery is scheduled for July 1st. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. I have a Sleeve class on Monday, 6/16 and pre-op is scheduled for June 26th. Any July 1st sleevers out there?

Hi there! My insurance is requiring 10% weight loss before my surgery can be scheduled. I'm at my last 5 lbs or so and I have not been able to lose it. So frustrating! Any tips? I want to schedule soon!!
