Please tell me your progress

Stomach binder or no?
I have never had a stomach binder but wear a lot of compression gear, which I think has a similar concept. It does help me feel more secure and it prevent chafing while at the gym. It also helps keep me warm!

How do I quote only a section of someone's post and not the whole thing?
I don't think it's possible or at least it's not done the same way. Whenever I press down and "hold" the text , I just get the android message of asking me if I want to copy the text.

How long until you could tolerate meat?
I was never really into eating meat even before surgery so maybe that is also my problem? I've tried pork, chicken, turkey, and beef. After two bites, I start to feel uncomfortable and stop eating. Tofu, beans, cheese, and protein bars seem to go down a lot easier.

Do you know if it's possible to do within the android app?

30g protein bars
The premier protein bars have 30 grams of protein in them but usually have around 280 calories, i think? They're huge though and keep me full for hours. Sometimes I can't even finish the whole thing in one sitting. I think they taste decently.

Medical Alert ID
I was given a little plastic card that I keep in my wallet that says that I had bariatric surgery and they should call my surgeon's office before performing certain procedures.

Protein 2o Consistency
Right now I'm seeing 24 bucks for a 12 pack. I didnt know they had lemonade flavor! I now need to find this in a store
-
Dreams!
I've had this too. I think its because I have been sleeping worse and more since surgery. Dreams are associated with a shallower sleep phase.

How long until you could tolerate meat?
Over 2 months post op and meat is still the hardest thing for me to get down.
-
Smoking
Yes, I was referring to weed. Although I dont recommend smoking cigs right after surgery either. If you OD-ed on pills before, I think you should definitely try to stay away from all pain meds if you can after surgery. Make sure to be totally upfront and honest with them about your past history.

This preop diet is killing me
Just remember that it does get easier after surgery!
-
Protein 2o Consistency
Yep, the slime is definitely way worse when you dont shake it. I've done it before. Yeah, the vitamin shoppe has them too! Walmart is the cheapest though. I've also gotten them from Sam's club, who sells a variety pack.

Protein 2o Consistency
I got all my flavors from Walmart. Maybe check back at a different time or go to a different store? I've gotten grape, mixed berry, and the coconut. Grape is the beat imo.
