I have not asked them yet.

I am 2 months and 1 week post op sleeve and it still hurts to drink water. I get this painful feeling in my gut when I drink water. I am not getting anywhere near the amount of required water. Anyone have any thoughts?

Why on earth would you be afraid of your nutritionist? Who cares what he/she thinks. Go about your business and tell them what they want to hear.

Coffee is fine. I drink coffee every morning and I am at 2 months and 1 week post op. Learn to think for yourself. Your Dr is not god.

What in the hell is a PPI?

There is a good book called, "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway." It is a self help book.

I take chewable Centrum. They contain the essential vitamins and they are only 11 dollars for a 90 day supply.

Didnt mean to offend you Orchid

Well your orders were wrong. Cheese is an excellent source of protein. Cheez its have 5 grams of protein per 1.5 oz package by the way.

I just bought Pure Protein canned shakes. They have 35 grams of protein per can.

I went on Amazon and bought a 12 pack of Pure Protein drinks. They have 35 grams of protein per can. They are chocolate flavored.

Thank you.

I am wondering how on earth do I get the required amount of protein in when I can only eat a few bites per meal? I am 2 months post op.

Its pretty much anything that I eat it goes straight through me.

Ok you have made a good point.

I have found that I really love a little snack now and then that is not too heavy. I bought a 36 pack box of Cheeze Its on Amazon and they are the perfect size to just give me a little bit of pleasure to my tongue. Anyone else love Cheeze It?

You are not ready for the surgery. The questions you asked are childish.

You wont be needing a hospital bag. All that crap on your list is not necessary. The hospital will be providing you with all that you need.

I took me, myself and I. You are a nurse you should know that the hospital will provide the necessities.

I had to have a catheter inserted up my penis after surgery because I was unable to urinate on my own. I tried and tried and nothing would come out so the nurse had to do a catheter. I was brave. It was a strange feeling. It didnt hurt it was just irritating. The catheter drained all the urine from my bladder and after that I was able to go on my own.

I was terrified too of being put under for surgery, but I did it. I had waited for almost 9 months to have this surgery after jumping through all the different hoops of interviews and the whole pre op process that you must go through so I wasnt about to back out. I had never been put under before and wondered if something would go dreadfully wrong during the surgery but I woke up and was fine. I couldnt pee after the surgery so the nurse had to put a catheter up my penis which was the worse part of the whole thing. I have lost 22 pounds so far and I am 2 months post op as of today. I started out with a bmi of 36. Dont be a quitter. See this through to the end. Pray to the Universe for some bravery and confidence and get this done!

What are you complaining about? I am 2 months post op today and I have lost just 22 pounds. It takes time. I have been able to only get down 2 quarts of water per day.

Yes I am post op.

I think you are over doing it a little bit. You wont even be thinking about three quarters of those items when you get out of surgery.

I am a guy.
