I am doing great. I'm still on a clear diet, in two more days I start full liquids (protein shakes and cream soups). I now weigh 203. Down 25 pounds so far this month. I stayed back to work today and found sitting was HARD! I just got home and got to put my feet up and lay down...much better!

I had my sleeve on July 16th. They found a hernia that needed repair also, so I figured my recovery would take a bit longer. I went home 1 day after the procedure on liquid pain meds. I had to take them every 4 hours the first and second day home. The taste from the pain meds made me sick so I switched to children's Tylenol. Today, I woke up pain free. Feeling good! Gas pains have lessened. Just trying to get in all my fluids. I found Hood Skim Milk for 10 grams of Protein and it is a treat! Today, I am mixing in Isopure with Crystal Light to get in more protein. HW:228 SW: 214 Current: 210 Goal: 125

Hood skim milk is available at Publix.

Has anyone else had to do a bowel prep the day before surgery? I had to for a colonoscopy, but never thought I would for this! Suggetions appreciated for a headache that I cannot shake. Can't take any meds! Ugh...

Thanks....I am really getting excited!

I am a little nervous. I had my pre-op appt. today and I have surgery on Wednesday. I pray there are no leaks and all goes well!

Can anyone suggest a decent tasting Protein shake?

I am so excited that I have a date for surgery. With less than two weeks to go, I am getting a little nervous. I have about 115 pounds to lose and I pray this will be an effective tool for me! I hope I don't screw this up or have major medical issues because of this.
