labradormom21 got a reaction from nicksmommy in Similar scars to sleeve surgery?
What are some other types of surgeries that have leave scars similar to bariatric surgery? I'm choosing to not tell a lot of people about my surgery, and I'm just wondering if (in the case of me actually feeling comfortable in a bikini this summer for the first time ever) there are any other surgeries that would leave scars similar to the 5 relatively small laparoscopic surgery scars?

(Please note, you do have to drink 4 a day to get the 60g Protein requirement though)

While it does have a little sugar, at this point I don't care lol! I'm able to get one down in a 30 minute period and it stays down without causing my stomach to feel like absolute crap! Those with dairy issues will absolutely have a problem with these, but I love them! I even got vanilla ones to make smoothies with. I got sleeved on the 9th of March (:

labradormom21 got a reaction from Jasb88 in Fluids/protein
I'm exactly a week out from surgery (had mine on March 9th), and I am experiencing the exact same problem! I have a huge Water bottle that I try to bring every where with me (I think it's about 30-40 oz), and that helps, but I very rarely finish the whole thing. I am planning on trying the premier Protein shakes like others have suggested. I will suggest to NOT get the GNC Unflavored Protein powder.... It's gross lol. I figured it would be a great way to add Protein and it gives everything a very chalky taste. I am hoping to get some vanilla Protein Powder to help with making protein smoothies, and hopefully that will help. Good luck!!

labradormom21 reacted to jmg79 in Getting protein/liquids in? And hair loss question
I like nectar but not all of the flavors are good. I got a sample pack so that I could try a bunch and so far there are about 3 I like. It's all about personal preference.

labradormom21 got a reaction from inkie in Do I tell people I'm having surgery or keep it a secret? Advice greatly received!
I'm going through the same thing right now (: only a handful of people know. I'm probably going to tell the rest of my family about 5 weeks or so out, when it becomes super super noticeable. I don't think I would ever post it on Facebook though. Just for personal reasons, as I feel that it's my decision and I would be afraid of the judgement or the classic "she took the easy way out" -even though we all know that's not true! Everyone's choices are different though, and I did make an anonymous Instagram account to show my progress and get support that way. Haven't posted anything of course, but it's a work in progress! I recently got sleeved (March 9, 2016) and so far everything is good! The way I looked at it was once you tell people you can't take it back. The people in your life really don't have a right to know as it is your body. You can tell them whenever (if ever) you want to. There are some people that I'll never tell, and I make sure to tell just those that I know will keep my secret (:
