I used a few frozen strawberries, ice, Premier Protein flavor strawberry and cream, Splenda and Then I added more unflavored Protein to it.... And blended all.... I divided them in portions and put them back on the freezer. After 10 mins out of fridge it feels like ice cream lol

My surgery date is October 30th. I have been stocking up on my Protein...I buy both powder and liquid Protein. New whey makes a Liquid Protein in a 3.8 oz bottle in several different flavors. You can mix them with Water and kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I am also stocking up on propel flavored water and Flintstone chewable Vitamins. GOOD LUCK in your journey!!!

My pain lasted just under two weeks, them it suddenly was drastically reduced. I know you probably don't want to hear that but it was my experience. I think it depends on your body, your surgeon, and your age.

Call the dr and ask for something else maybe. The morphine drip was amazing at the hospital but the norco works for me everyone is different. Maybe a oxycodone or vicadine might be better.

I could not get relief with the liquid Vicodin/Tylenol, although I drank the last drops right from the bottle in hopes of it helping! I agree with above poster to try something else. I switched to liquid Tylenol and Tylenol pm

I'm 6 days out and all pain is gone, no discomfort around incisions, nothing! Stomach feels heavy when I push my limits but I stop long before pain hits. Oooh except for hiccups!!! That's some bad juju!

I had my drain for 2 weeks after surgery and started driving within one week after surgery. I tried doing things here and there while at home after the first week post op, but I found that I got tired quickly. At my 2 week post op appointment I was able to do every thing I needed to do.

It took 3 weeks for the lower right side to feel better. It burns ( nerves) and I had a back ache. Was getting sad and depressed over its constant ache. I feel completely different at 3 weeks post op, I still wear the binder or a Spanx type of top to hold me together. Feel better soon!

I have the same issue plus a pesky drain to deal with I was sleeved on the 14th. How soon after surgery were people able to return to normal activities like driving a car and less abdominal pain?

Yes. The right hand corner is where they pull the remainder of your stomach out. It is the biggest incision. They also have to stitch your muscles together to prevent a future hernia.
Mine took about 6 days before it felt good. Feels like an uncomfortable bruise. Btw... The cinch around your waist really helps.

Hello traveler,
I was going through the same, you are not alone. At work they were telling me that "I'm too young to be having a surgery", "why don't you do a diet like a normal person" "having surgery is extreme "....It's hard to hear these comments specially from the ones you love. As of today my dad and my boyfriend don't want me to do it. But, I still want to do it.
People are going to talk about you no matter what you do. But, only we know that is not as easy as they paint it. Don't ask them if they are ok with your surgery tell them how you feel and for them to support you.
Be sure your self why you want to do it. Do it for you! And ask yourself :"If i don't do it am I willing to live the rest of my life like this? " Or are you willing to do something that is risky but that at the same time will give you in the future all you want!
you will be fine (:

I Am so excited my surgery date is September 25th 2014!!!!!!

My favorite! I use that as my last Calcium dose of the day; it's like dessert.

Hey everyone im finally home, Got discharged around 2 today.
Feeling a little better, was sent home with anti nausea meds and pain meds.
Going to camp out in the livingroom tonight in the recliner.
Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!

I believe the sugar is high. Try the eas carb advantage they are good it has 17g Protein, 0 sugar.

Thank you all for the support. I know this is the right decision for me and the only way for me to have a healthy life. I think over the past 40 years, like many of us, I tried everything else. I guess I just need to not care what anyone else thinks

You are prob just checking in at the hospital now! Wishing you a smooth surgery and recovery???? I'm in NJ , so I will be checking the local news. You are going to great!! Keep us posted

Good luck!, everything will go fine. Hope I don't hear about your escape plan on TV! That was funny!. God bless you!
