619raf... Im in the same boat.. I keep trying different Protein Drinks and powders and my stomach just cant take them anymore.. Everything,is so gross and i wanna throw up. Im not,getting anywhere near my 60 grams of protein... I might get like 15 to 20 grams in.... As soon as i can eat meat tho, i think i will be fine. But these drinks are so gross to me now.. Ughhh its so annoying, and i dont feel like wasting more money on the Protein Shakes.

I was told it's fairly common the first 6 mths to a year. My doctor started me on 20mg per day for the first 90 days. Around the time I started adding back foods I found I needed to increase it to 40mg. We're going to try that for another 90 days and see how things goes. Since the alternative is heartburn that could lead to ulcers, I prefer to take the PPI at least for the time being. Why be uncomfortable when you don't have to?

I was sleeved on jan. 13th. First 4 or 5 days are killer with gas pains and such... After that, i felt great. But yes, i keep getting,hunger headaches too..cant wait to be put on normal foods so these headaches go away... But i need to start taking my Vitamins too, i think that will help.. And im not getting all my Protein in bc the thought of a Protein shake makes me gag right now...
Glad everyone is feeling good!!

My day is tomorrow too!!! Clear liquids and I had to drink magnesium citrate. Any one else?

My big day is tomorrow also.As of 4pm today,only clear liquids. Im sure everything will be fine.I expect to be very sore for a while,the Dr. is going to take care of a umbilacal hernia also.I wish you alot of luck ,and maybe we can compare notes (via this forum) along the way.Good luck!

During my physician supervised diet months I weighed myself daily, it helped me keep on track, but there were a lot of days where it'd be up, up, then back down. There were even a few days in there where I'd weigh 9-10 lbs more than I did the day before, usually it was just Water weight, and it'd be back down the next day. It's normal. =)

Don't stand on that moral killer everyday! Just keep doing what your doing program wise!

I weigh daily. Yes, the numbers dont make sense, but weighing daily keeps me on track. You will get the best results to weigh at the same time and wearing the same cloth each day. I prefer first thing in the morning wearing nothing and after releiving the bladder. For me weight seems to come off at night. My nut who has also had the surgery weighs daily. She expalins it this way. Granted she has been at her goal weight for 10 years. She sets a parameter/ range of 5 lbs.Example 140 is goal and 145 is the top end.If she starts to close in on 145 she will know not to have that extra snack or hit the gym for a little longer. An last remember you wont loose lbs everyday, so dont beat yourself up or become overly worried if the scale doesnt move. It will if you follow the rule. If you follow most of the rule most of the time you will lose most of the weight. True words!!!!!!!

I totally hear ya @@momoftwins+1 ! I cannot force myself NOT to weigh myself everyday right now. However, I do weigh myself only once per day at the same time of day. So, every morning right before hopping in the shower I take a peek. I am on the pre-op diet right now and it gives me a clearer number of how I am going.

Congratulations on the weight loss!
In retrospect, the pre-op diet was so important to my long-term success. In addition to the weight loss, it completely reset my taste buds and palate so that I needed much less fatty, sugary, or spicy foods once I was on the puree phase. I can still eat spicy foods very easily, but simply don't need as much spice as before.
Best of luck on your journey!

That's so great! I dint think I could stay on this thing religiously if it weren't fir the great weight loss lol.

Awesome job
