I drink that too! It reminds me of jolly ranchers. I add crushed ice and mio drops to give it more flavor. The shakes were making me sick so now I stick with liquid Protein and boost Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Ask your primary doc to give u zofran, omeprezole and metoclopramide. Metoclopramide has been a god send for my nausea and acid in my stomach. I am about 5 weeks post op and have had nausea everyday. This metoclopramide has greately helped. Hope u feel better Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I had incision pain for 2 weeks . A heating pad definitely helped and just resting. Dont over do it. I went to a christmas party a little over a week post op because I was feeling great, I definitely paid for it that night at the hotel, my back killed me and incision was hurting. I say incision because the only one that gave me issues was the spot my stomach was removed. Just rest when you can and even light stretching helped the tightness feeling, no jane fonda work out though lol! Good luck Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

You can order Bariatric Choice liquid Protein..its a liquid gel you mix with Water. It is 15 grams i protein i think. It kind of reminds me of kool aid or jolly ranchers. I cant handle shakes besides boost and this Liquid Protein. Good luck Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Anyone from Michigan? All stages of the process welcome, pre op, post op, years out, etc...just curious to see who is from here! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone experienced this? My nose constantly runs and I also always have to clear my throat because I can feel it draining in my throat. This happens before I eat and after. The worst is in the morning. Is this stomach acid, sinus, etc? I have tried Hot drinks which helps a bit but not by much. Thanks everyone! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

It is the gas that is making you want to burp. Give it some time and walk as much as you can and try gas x strips. Popsicles have been a life saver for dry mouth and nausea. When i first had surgery a month ago I could only eat half of a popsicle for a few days, now it's at the top of my grocery list lol..good luck Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

When you get excited to use your amazon gift card on "poopouri" so you dont cause an emergency evacuation when you poop at work! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Wow ????. What is the point of surgery if you are already drinking alcohol and eating things you really shouldnt. Hopefully you dont get a leak or get sick Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

No i am not confusing them. The ones who had rny was done years ago, now days I heard its a lot different. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

When I first had surgery I drank Fiji Water, it was just too dense. A lot of people have issues with water at first for some reason. I suggest trying different liquids, Proteins, and food items post op. Dont stock up on anything because your taste buds will most likely change. Mio drops for water help break up density too.

I laid in pre op for 8 hrs because there were two emergency surgeries my surgeon had to handle so I finally went into the OR at 8 pm, was out of surgery by 10 pm, got my room and had to pee so instead of the commode i wanted to walk to the bathroom, pain or not. I walked the halls the next day, determined to get out of the hospital. I was discharged the day after surgery at 1 pm. The following few days I had horrible gas pains and incision pain but it was tolerable. I was able to go to my work christmas party 8 days after surgery, I was feeling great. Over the past few weeks I have had a lot of nausea and constipation but i take meds for both. Overall , its just taking it day by day and learning to get fluids in and some food. At first Water felt like a brick but I changed to smart water and it was a lot easier to drink. A few of my friends had 0 nausea so they are lucky. Good luck to you Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved Dec 6th, I have had friends do lap band, sleeve, and full bypass. The ones who had the full bypass can not consume sugar, are more prone to dumping, have bigger scars. The ones that were sleeved are now able to eat whatever they want but in small amounts. Whatever u feel is right will be the best choice . Best of luck Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App
