What brand Protein Shakes have you tried? I found most horrible until I tried “Premier Protein chocolate” recommended by my nutritionist.

Wow!!!

I hit the stall at week 4. Never ate anything bad and always under 800 calories yet I would go up .5-.8lbs and down the same for about week before I lost 3 lbs in 3 days. From what I understand it's all normal because our body's are adjusting to the low calories.

Thank you, as I have often said, "we are all in this together ".

I am 23 days post op. I too have had the same pain as described. The first two weeks it was excruciatingly painful. To the point it would make me cry. I still cannot bend at the waist,or lay on either side of my stomach without severe pain. It has got "slightly" better over the last 4 days but I am worried to return to work because it hurts to sit in a 90 degree position which I do all day at my job. I see my surgeon today to see what is going on.

You'll be fine, good luck and remember that it's all worth it. I'm 16 days post op. Not going to say it's been easy because it hasn't. But I'm down 19 lbs and getting it is getting easier everyday.

Premier Protein are my favorite. chocolate and vanilla are the best flavors.

I'm going to my two week follow up today. I'm down 19lbs but suffering from tremendous pain at one of my incisions. Hurts to move much. Already had a Cat Scan to rule out hernia. I need to get back to work but not sure how I will be able to sit in my office. food wise going ok. Had egg salad yesterday that was good but stomach was not fully ready for it. Tuna fish was easier to process. But everyday is still the best day of my life. I feel like this is the start of a new life. We have all been reborn.

Feeling really good today. Still have pain at the incision but manageable. I have been watching "My 600 lb life" . It's amazing how some people truly think the surgery is a magic pill. The show just strengthens my commitment.

Awesome job, I have been slowly adding more liquid. I am up to about 40oz of water plus the liquid foods like Jello, pudding etc... I have also lost about 13lbs since pre op. Yeehaw!

I see my surgeon Wednesday and finish my last workshop after that. I find out Friday what time the surgery is on Monday. I turn 50 on Thursday so the surgery is my gift to myself.

I am so proud of all of us. I realized that the magnesium I take for heart palpitations was causing the watery poo, so that is resolved. Down another 2 pounds today.
I tried some broth yesterday. I was able to swallow it but 1/4 cup over 15 minutes made me feel like I had just been to a buffet and ate like the world was ending.
So, I guess I will just keep at the broth once a day and see what the doc says next Tuesday at my post op visit.

Go at your pace. It will all be worth it soon.

We have very similar stats. My incision kills me still as well. The liquid is getting easier for me though. I'm just having Water, Decaf tea, Jello, and some puréed Soups. Try sugar free popsicles, it will go down slow and give you some flavor. I got this advise a couple days ago from a friend that had the same surgery last year.

So now I'm 5 days post op. I'm up to 32oz of liquid and can take in approximately 3-4oz at a sitting. Today I had a very painful day. Worst day yet since coming home. Incision hurts bad. I can barely get my walks in without crying. Took my breath away just to walk for 5 min.

Day 4 after surgery and still have horrible pain where they removed the stomach. Still not able to get all my liquids for the day. I think the max I had was 20 oz. ever time I take a tablespoon of anything it makes me sick to my stomach and I get tremendous pressures in the chest.

Also see if you can get some Core Water from Sam's Club. It has electrolytes and minerals that may help.

I can't relate to the pain as I haven't had any since the gas pain went away. But as for as liquids I've been putting the timer on for 1hr and making sure I drink 1oz every 15 mins. I only get discomfort when taking the liquid pain meds I guess cause it's thicker than the Water but nothing bad that I can't handle.

It will get better.

Got released this afternoon. Have a lot of pain at the incision where they pulled out my stomach. Even with pain medication. Other than that I am having a tough time getting down more than one or two tablespoons of anything without feeling sick. From what I read that seems normal for the first few days.

How did everyone do? I had some bad abdominal pressure yesterday but it got better throughout the day. This morning I have had some good burps and I have slight discomfort in the upper chest but not too bad. Walked a couple times yesterday and I will walk through the day today.
