    Hey everyone. I just had my surgery on Monday the 23rd. It went well. I woke up with a lot of pain and apparently had a esophageal hernia they had repaired that I didn't know I had. So of course there was extra pain which gave me the instant regret. I have little to no pain right now just kind of sore. But I would like some words of encouragement. I just I'm kind of scared for what the future has in store if that makes sense. I don't know if anybody else feels like this but I would really appreciate some encouragement.

    The Premier Protein waters are horrible . Umm to answer some questions yes my nerves and anxiety came before and after surgery but don’t worry it’s apart of the process this is a major life decision you are making the better you !!! Embrace it . As for doing normal stuff everyday . After the first weeek I was good to walk , take my trash out wash dishes and all the normal household duties and I went back to work in a week lol . Taking it EASY IS IMPORTANT! Use your LEGS TO BEND ! And don’t lift anything heavier than 10lbs. Try to drink Water , Protein Shakes and eat sugar free popsicles for liquids and you will be fine
    Thank you for the help!

    Hi! I'm scheduled to have the sleeve on July 9! I would love someone to talk to also. I am actually starting my pre op diet today. I'm pretty nervous, but feeling determined.
    Hello, my surgery is scheduled for july 10th. My doctor told me to start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I haven't felt nervous yet but maybe when I get closer to the surgery date. I am worried about this diet and how it will make me feel. I know it has to be done. Just not looking forward to it lol.

    The only Protein Shake I enjoy is Premiere. The first few days after surgery, you will need rest because your body needs time to heal. I was in the mall walking five days afterwards. I couldn't lift more than five pounds for six weeks, so please be careful with that. Anytime you need to talk, reach out. We're all here to help you get to the loser's bench.

    Have you tried several of the Protein waters? I thought the Isopure was dreadful, but Protein20 wasn't bad.
    Good luck!
    I know they gave me the orange mango one to taste and I did not like it that was from the premier brand. I have always been sensitive to flavored water. So I'm trying to fine a Protein Powder that's flavorless. I can probably look into the protein20. I haven't heard of that one but I can try it.

    Hey everyone. I was wondering if anybody can recommend a powder whey Protein flavorless supplement instead of the clear drinks that were supposed to drink. I tried those things and they were nasty to me at least. I know that I was told you a lot of chicken broth and stuff like that but I know I'm supposed to at least get a hundred grams of protein which is what my dietitian wants. I have already got approved when my psych evaluation and my surgery is scheduled for July 10th. I'm about to start my liquid diet on the 26th and I'm just needing some advice. Thank you

    Hey everyone I have a couple questions. So I'm about to have surgery on July 10th and I am about to start my 2-week liquid-only diet. Can anyone recommend a good Protein flavorless whey powder. I've tasted the clear drinks and I really do not like them. If anybody has recommendations I would appreciate the information. Also was there a lot of discomfort after the surgery? Like are you able to do normal stuff everyday? I know that I can't be lifting anything. I was also wondering if there was another person who was pre opt that might have any kind of anxiety/nerves. I haven't gotten to that point yet but I'm pretty sure that I might as I get closer to my surgery date and wouldn't mind having somebody to talk to. Thanks in advance!
