Thanks everyone I really appreciate the responses. Now it's on my stomach, so I will be calling my surgeon and asking him if he can prescribe some type of medicine for this.

@@me_shell77 No I never wore a binder. @@Dub I walk even while at work about every hour sometimes and hour and a half for about 10-15 mins since I do have a desk job. @@KristenLe what is a ketosis rash and would you know happen to know how can I get rid of it?

Hello Everyone, I have been itching for the past 3 days and now I have a rash on my lower back and legs. I'm currently 3 weeks post op, I get in 70 grams of Protein a day and around 80 -85 ounces of liquids a day. Has anyone else suffered from this?? Can you please shed a little light on this issue? All responses are appreciated, I just want to know what is really going on. Thanks.

Hello, I'm not sure what "dumping" is but after reading this forum and what everyone has described I am suffering from the aftermath of it right now. Last night I pureed some shredded chicken which I have been eating for the past few days, but last night I added some fat free sour cream just to change it up a bit. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! Not even 10 mins later I was balled up in fetal position sweating, then about 5 mins later I was in the bathroom with it (TMI) coming out of both ends. This morning I'm still sick and feel queasy, so today I will just have my Greek yogurt and add my unflavored Protein to it. I never want to eat sour cream EVER AGAIN!!! This is really an unpleasant feeling.

@@reducer623 Protein shakes make me too full and it seems like they're harder to digest. I've been using Genpro unflavored protein in what I eat or drink to get my protein in and it's working for me. I feel like I'm doing pretty good, so I can't really complain.

Hi, I was sleeved on the 15th. I've been getting in 60 ounces of Protein and around 65 ounces of liquid daily. I'm still on a full liquid diet until day 12 then I can move on to pureed foods. Day 21 is when I will be allowed to introduce soft foods scrambled eggs ,tuna etc. I can't wait but the funny thing about it is that I haven't been hungry. It amazes me that I have to force myself to drink all day, it's crazy to me. I also still have a little gas that's bothering me so, I walk and take a gas-x.

Thank you. I have Isopure, but it is very sweet to me. I guess tomorrow I will give it a try.

Hi Everyone, Today is my 4th day post op and my first day to start Protein shakes. Well, I drank a chocolate premier Protein Drink this morning and I have not been hungry for the entire day, just forcing myself to drink my liquids. I was so overly full and nauseated that I didn't know what else to do. Here's my question does anyone out there have any ideas on how I can meet my protein goals daily without using the premier Protein Shakes. Any ideas will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

Good luck!!! See you on the losers bench!

I was sleeved on the 15th and the gas pains are really getting to me. My Dr. said to sit straight up while drinking, it helps sometimes but the gas still creeps back up. I've been walking on and off all day, my husband and I went to the grocery store and walked for about 40 mins or so then we went to a few more places the gas is still present, I hope it gets better.

@@Clarevoyant I'm doing better than I expected belching and diarrhea is all that I've been doing since I came home earlier today. I've walked through the grocery store and through Best Buy with my husband so that I can get my walking in.

I was sleeved yesterday July 15. Now home and resting.

I'm feeling okay just very sore. I was released this afternoon so I'm trying get the rest that you're not able to get in the hospital.

Hi everyone, I been a lurker since last year and I'm proud to say that I was sleeved yesterday. Thanks to everyone that post on here, I was able to learn what to do and what not to do. This forum has a lot to offer those that have an open mind and sense of humor. I just want to thank you all, I'm officially on the losers bench.

Hi eh
