I am 3 weeks out. Things that have surprised me:
1). I got really nauseous in the hospital and my very tough nurse made me Learn to control it so I wouldn't damage my sleeve. It has gotten me through several nausea episodes.
2) I didn't expect to use the flavorless injury powder in everything. I bought a ton of the nector stuff and the injury broth but really didn't use it. I loved the Isopure even though it was so expensive.
3). I didn't expect that I would pull my abdominal muscle in the second week and have such Intense pain but not want to take my pain medicine.
I didn't expect to lose so much so quickly. I wish I could say that I feel energetic but it hasn't quite gotten to me yet.

Had my first post-op appt today. All was well and my Dr told me I could start the multi-vit whenever I wanted because I had pre-op deficiencies. I was like "great!" And I bought the bottle on my way out the door. Learned a couple lessons:
Lesson 1) start when at home. I popped them in the car on my way out of their parking lot, thouroughly chewed. By the time I got to the first light waves of nausea were hitting me and I was In rough shape.
Lesson 2) take it slow. I could have nibble just a little of one to see how my stomach handled it but no, I went all gung Ho and took two full pills.
Lesson 3) it can happen to me. I haven't had any issues with eating. I've been following the plan and even enjoyed homemade puréed cream of chicken Soup last night For dinner. I can't eat a lot cause I get full really quickly but it has been all normally. I thought I just wouldn't have the whole nausea/revulsion thing happen to me.
I'm home now. I managed not to vomit (go lessons from my post-op nurses who taught me I can control my nausea) but I'm wiped and feeling a bit humbled. Also - I own 90 days of $40 Vitamins that I will never want to taste again (I'm going to go with Gummy chewable).

I did 4 weeks 3 Protein Shakes with 1 lean cuisine. It was rough. My office mate actually ate Jimmy Johns for lunch today and I just about jumped him and devoured it. It smelled so good. I was really proud of myself although I did tell him he was a sadist.

This is me, 7 months post-op..79lbs lost
