I was sleeved 7/21/14 and I'm still in quite a lot of pain. It feels like internal pain rather than incisions, and it's not gas pain. I do get gas pains a lot though. Mostly my pain is in the middle of the night, or when standing up. I also feel dizzy quite often, and no energy. I'm on clear liquids and 2-3 protein shakes per day. Any advice?

The honeymoon phase (+more)
Jamis222 replied to crazyweight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My plan consists of 60-90g protein FOREVER, then if still hungry vegetables, then fruits, then carbs. I'm sure your protein powders aren't very tasty, most aren't, but it's necessary to get in the protein some way. You just have to do it. -
Using Straws - if drink is 0 cal, why can't u
Jamis222 replied to BDM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No straws here either bc of air intake, but I do use a Camelbak and LOVE it. Yes, it has a straw, but the way the bite valve works, there is always liquid in the straw so you aren't taking in a little air with the beginning of each sip. It also helps me get in fluids a lot faster so it's easy to reach my goal. -
when do you start getting rid of clothes?
Jamis222 replied to Wires's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The support group I belong to allows us to swap clothes, see if your bariatric program has something like this. There are also fb pages to give away clothes to the bariatric community, the 'buyer' pays shipping, otherwise it's free. Saves you a lot of $ replacing your wardrobe every month too -
carnations breakfast shakes. Good/Bad ?

Is it SF? My nut said only sugar free varieties, and unfortunately those are only 5g protein -
I had the same scenario, I took Miralax with my protein shake every other day until I started having BMs, made me feel so much less bloated!
