Thank you. I am excited to get past the 14 day liquid diet. I am on day 6, but it is really day 7 because I was in LA for business and did Soup on day 1.

I am glad you are both feeling better. The bleed must have been scary. It’s my turn in one week, but I have had good luck with surgeries, so I am calm.

Wedge pillow are awesome!!

On it.. Also I found that sugar free popcicles are my friend. A little trick I learned is to have a little bottle sprayer that I spray a little Water in my mouth to wet it and I get to sip the water.

I’m now a week post-op & it really is amazing how much better you feel each day. Even at day 3 I️ was worrying about how I️ could possibly work feeling like this. By day 5 I️ easily could have been at work. Just keep walking and burping!

My pharmacy had to order it, but it only took a day, and my insurance paid. It cost me $10.

I am so glad you are okay and your nausea wasn’t too bad. I will keep that burp tip in my pocket for my turn. Take care of yourself.

I’m 2 days post op. i’m home now and i feel great! Good luck to all you November 2017 sleevers!

Just had my preop appt. with my surgeon. It went well. He is giving me a drug called Amend. You take one pill three hours before surgery, and it prevents post op nausea. He says he has used it in 700 procedures, and it works well. Insurance may not cover it, but it only costs $30. I thought I should mention this since so many people suffer with this.

Thanks. I should have looked it up first. It is Emend. I have never had Post-Op nausea either, buy doc says this will cause it, and I will weigh more when I leave the hospital than on admission because he will fill me full of fluids.Good luck to you too! I think you are before me. [emoji3]

You’ll do great. Hoping for a fast recovery for you.

Kimberly H on YouTube did. She talks about it a lot.

We all get that anxiety, it's normal just don't let it become a runaway train. Good luck!! See you on the sleeve side soon.

You will do great. Deep breaths! [emoji106]

I have had the same experience. My doc is pushing the Protein thing. Having trouble reaching the 90 grams a day. I feel malnourished and weak often. You should be able to get protein additives for your liquids. The shakes seem to be too filling but the protein lemonades, juices, popsicles, and jellos help.

I must say, I am feeling well this morning. Got close to protein requirements yesterday. Seems to be the key-calories don’t seem to have an impact. Take Vitamins, add protein, sip and move.

Oh I’m so sorry. I hope you get too feeling better too. Yeah two weeks without Protein is way too long. I know they don’t want us to get dehydrated but they really need to check their numbers on this part of the food. I haven’t talked to anyone yet they has been able to do the full 64oz

Right. I just posted another post about it. I’m on the second stage now. Had taken me about seven hours to drink a 11oz Premier Protein drink and it was so good. That at least counts towards my ounces. Going to try and make oatmeal and mashed potatoes tomorrow good luck on being on it for 14 Days. That just sounds crazy. I barely was able to do 40oz this past week.

Good for you!

I got a push notification from Domino’s. I deleted the app and told the hubby he would need to get a smartphone or figure out how to call for delivery.

You’ll do great. Hoping for a fast recovery for you.

I think my doc should have suggested I take the two weeks of the liquid diet off. The hunger and weakness are bad enough, but the headache woke me up because it got worse at 2:30 am. I think it has to go away at some point, but working is tough. Granted, I already have chronic pain including headaches, but this is ridiculous. It is too late to take off because I haven’t given my staff a plan yet. I am getting a massage Wednesday. Maybe that will help. Anyone else still having a hard time?.

My nut said it was ok to put sugar free Torani syrups in my shakes. It saved my life. I bought raspberry and hazelnut flavors (I found them at Smart and Final).
