    I was sleeved on 9/12/14 in TJ Mexico. I have no complaints regarding my surgery or the care I received. I don't remember much about recovery except I removed the oxygen every time the nurses placed it on my face. The smell of the oxygen intensified my nausea. Other than that, I don't remember anything about my recovery. Later, I woke in my room and I was in and out. My surgery was around 9am and I didn't get up and walk until later that evening. I had a lot of gas pain which was expected. Every day has been an improvement. I have been focused on getting my water, protein and vitamins in. I am excited about this journey and this new lifestyle. I look forward to watching my body change.

    11 days post op and I am doing very well. It was the best decision I could have made!

    I'm craving something sweet! I can't shake it and I can't stomach other protein shake. 5 days to surgery....

    1. Ginger Snaps

      Maybe sugar free jello or sugar free popsicles? I just found some great popsicles called Outshine that I hadn't seen before. Very good flavors like wild berry and strawberry kiwi. Vanilla shakes sometimes taste sweeter and you can get the sugar-free Torani syrups in sugar free flavors to add -- look on Amazon.

       

      You can do this... hang tough!

    My surgery is 9/12/14, and this thread has really helped me with making a list of things I need for my trip. I am flying to Mexico and will be in the hospital for 2 days and another day in the hotel after surgery. Should I pack all of my vitamins for the trip?

    I just placed an order for a nectar protein sampler from bariatric pantry. I am super excited and can't wait for it to get here. I am so tired of the chocolate, strawberry and vanilla shakes.

      I thought they were suppose to be a clear juice too. Oh well. Today, I used crystal light with some unflavored Isopure protein and it was ok. Much better than what I have been drinking. I am trying to stay focused so, I had to change it up a bit. Best of luck to you on your surgery!

      Pre-op liquids start for me tomorrow. I have a few varieties of protein shakes so I'm hoping I can get through at the least the first 5 days without too much trouble (fingers crossed). I hope you like the nectar proteins!

      Well, I was a little disappointed with the variety. I placed the order from my phone, and I should have specified which flavors I wanted. The two flavors that I really wanted to try were not included in the sample pack. So far, the grape and orange is tolerable and I would drink those flavors again. I did not like the vanilla, strawberry mousse or apple. I still have a few more to try.

    It Works products?

    naturalbabe77 replied to jnfisher's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I signed up as a loyal customer for three months and I would not recommend their products. I was skeptical and I should have trusted my instinct. The results from the wraps are temporary and you must drink a LOT of water while wearing them. You can flush excess cellulite by drinking water without the wraps. The hair, skin, nails made my face break out. The greens taste horrible. You would come out better buying Green Superfood or juicing. I didn't try the protein because by looking at the nutritional facts, it's not worth the time. Save your money.

    Liquid Pre-Op on Wed

    naturalbabe77 replied to JCP's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Take one day at a time and you will make it through. I felt the same way. The first three days were tough, but I stayed focused on my ultimate goal. Also, I have a good friend who started the pre-op diet with me for moral support. Stay busy and you won't think about eating. After a few days, it gets much easier.
