I've been getting the 60 grams of protein I need daily. Today I'm really having a hard time getting it in. I'm at about 50 grams. I can't eat or drink anything else. I feel like I'm gonna be sick. I am stressing so hard right now Bc I didn't get my needed amount. Is one day and 10 grams less something I really need to stress about? Someone please tell me I'm overacting!

Thanks yall! I've had the occasional back ache here and there over the years. But this one is just a constant unrelieved pain.

I am almost 3 weeks post op. I am having the most awful back pain. Is this normal after surgery? Anyone else experience this?

Years ago I had to see a plastic surgeon to have a mole on my face removed. She told me anytime you have a surgery scar us vitamin e oil. I used it in my face back then and you can't see the scar at all. I still have the glue over my incisions from my sleeve surgery but once it comes off I plan on using the vitamin e oil to help with the scarring.

I got my unjury sample pack last night. I mixed the strawberry with lemonade and it was tolerable. I'm a little nervous to try the rest Bc I've had such a hard time with Protein.

You are a rare gem my friend!Haha yeah I have found that out. lolHow many do you have? I have 3 in my house and one stray I take care of outside. I keep pushing for a fourth in the house so my boy will have a buddy. The two girls are so mean and bitter all the time. Lol!

You are a rare gem my friend!

lol thank you! I am the 30 year old crazy cat lady!

My dr said 7 days. However I was driving by day 4 Bc I was off pain meds and didn't see any reason not to.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it could be a purée or soft.

My dr said 3 weeks. I am 2 weeks post op today. We waited 12 days. Haha!

I was just wondering if anyone who had taken the gallbladder medication still ended up needing to have their gallbladder removed.

I was sleeved the same day !! ????I haven't lost any hair yet ... Mine is so thin as it is ... Oh well what are gonna do ... I have really thin hair, so i really worry when i start losing hair I will have bald spots.

When were you able to tolerate hot sauce?

I start purées on Wednesday. I never in my life thought I'd be so excited to eat purées! I can only imagine at the end of purées phase how excited I'll be to move onto soft food! This full liquid mess is so tasteless and boring! I've already got my meals planned out, lol! My question is would turkey chili be ok to purée? I made a batch to freeze before surgery it's not spicy at all. So I was wondering if that would be ok to purée. And how long did you wait to eat spicy food again?

I am a week and a half post op. My dr wants me to get at least 60grams of protein a day. I am really struggling with it. I've tried premier protein, isopure, isopure unflavored mixed with things, and I've tried nectar. None of them sit well with me. I am forcing nectar down as we speak but it sits like a rock in my tummy and I never reach my 60gram goal. It worries me I am not getting my protein, does anyone have any suggestions for me?

That's the first I've heard of that. In the hospital they gave me ice to eat. I use ice all day long.

I went into this expecting to lose like maybe 6 to 8 pounds max the first couple of weeks. So losing what I have has been somewhat of a shock to me. I don't personally know anyone who has had any weight loss surgery. my husband was asking what the most someone lost in 2 weeks was just outta curiosity Bc we both thought 17 was insane. I don't have anyone personally to ask since I don't know anyone with the surgery. Sorry if this post irritated or offended.

I am not trying to compare or make anyone feel bad, I was simply curious to see what the max amount someone has lost in the first two weeks.

I curious how much weight y'all lost in the first two weeks post op. I am a week and a half post op. I've lost 17 pounds since surgery. HW: 258 SW: 234. CW: 217

Congrats! You look great!!!

Thanks yall! Y'all have given me hope, haha! I am 6 days post-op, sipping nonstop, but not being quenched at all!

I know in the beginning its sip,sip, sip, do you ever get to drink like normal again? If so at what point do you get to take Regular thirst quenching drink of water?

Thank you! I was thinking is should be lasting longer than 3 minutes.

I am 5 days post op and still having 1 oz every 15 minutes. I sip it as slow as I possibly can but I'm done within the first 3 minutes. Should it take me 15 minutes to sip the one oz or should I sip slowly and start sipping again in 15 minutes? Depending on the beverage sometimes my stomach gets really upset. Help please!
