I am in East Oak Lane and had my surgery at Abington hospital.

I have found taking colace every other day helps.

I gained 20 pounds from all the extra fluid but thankfully lost it in 5-6 days.

What is the best Unflavored protein powder? I am very discouraged because everything I try I really hate. I tried unjury unflavored today in my crystal light and could barely get 4 oz down. The premier chocolate shake is ok but I've had so many now, I can barely get that down!

Btw not sure how to just reply to a single post and if I am doing it right! I had grits today ( didn't really like cream of wheat)and tonight had ricotta with Parmesan cheese and marianara sauce which was very good. Yogurt of course,,,,

Niki15, just wondering what your favorite pureed food has been. I am struggling a bit with ideas!

I was surprised also! I had bypass on 8/4 and just advanced to puréed yesterday.

I had my surgery on August 4 at Abington Hospital. When and where is your surgery?

Yes , I am taking a colace daily and it has helped a lot. Still with the left sided pain, but it's better. How is yours? I get tired easily too- been walking at night around the block twice and it wears me out. Two more days and puréed!

The gas x strips are good. I went for post op appt and all was good but this left sided pain is frustrating. I have cut back a lot on pain meds and I really want to not take any pain meds at all , but it's too much do you think it's muscular from all the manipulation?

I also am having a lot of pain on my left side and was a bit discouraged today. Glad to hear I am not alone. Thankful that the pain in my left shoulder from the anesthesia ,which had been severe,is going away. I have been struggling though with getting fluids in and finding things that taste good. 5 more days until puréed food!!

On day 4 of my preop diet for surgery august 4. I am allowed 3 protein shakes a day and veggies and I serving fruit. It's getting a little easier. Just the 3 shakes the last two days. I am letting my family fend for themselves!!

I am confused and thought this was for people having the bypass surgery, not the sleeve?

August 4th for me. Struggling with stopping my NSAIDS - In a lot of pain.
