As soon as I got home from the hospital, Day #3 post-op. Haven't had any trouble with them.

I like the Think Thin Protein Bars. I think they only have 20g of protein but they taste like a treat and they’re low in sugar. I also like the Premier Protein bars.

I preferred the Protein20 in bottles. I didn't find them as cloyingly sweet as some of the others.

As soon as you get home from the hospital.

Congratulations, everyone! I have a day tracker on my phone counting down the days and I’ve been trying to not pay attention to it in hopes of that making seem like time is going faster. 😂😂

That is amazing, congrats! I hope to see similar numbers

Hey all, wanted to give an update on my surgery.
When I got to the hospital, they first had me pee in a cup to make sure I wasn't pregnant. After that I got taken to a room where they asked me family history questions, etc. They also started an IV. I met with the anesthesioloist and he told me about the plan for surgery and asked if I had any questions. He also offered me some meds that would make me relax, which I gladly accepted. After that I was wheeled to the OR. I don't remember anything after that—the next thing I remember was waking up in a recovery bed. My stomach was sooo full of gas and I was super uncomfortable, but I wasn't allowed to walk around yet. Eventually, they let me walk a little bit because I had to go to the bathroom. After that they took me to my room—I don't remember much about that. I slept a lotttttt. My stomach was still in some pain, but it wasn't terrible. Throughout the night several people checked on me and took my vitals. After midnight I was able to have Water, which was great because my mouth was hella dry. This morning, I walked some and it was much easier than it was before. Today my stomach is sore, but it's more of discomfort than pain. I'm home and have absolutely no appetite. I'm sipping on water to keep me hydrated, but haven't started on Protein Shakes yet.

Congratulations!!!
I biggest discomfort I experience is from the large incision where the pull everything out. Try to stay ahead in meds rather than trying to catch up when the pain become greater.
Did they tell you to keep a small pillow handy? You should hold it against you belly if you have to sneeze or cough.

I have my surgery on yesterday afternoon. Surgery went really well. I woke up and it was a little nauseous for a while but they’ve been really good about controlling and so I didn’t throw up at all. I’m literally having no pain except for one area which is that my diaphragm. There is an incision really close to it so I can’t tell if it’s the incision that is making an egg or if it is trapped gas from the surgery. Either way it’s going very smoothly and I’m feeling pretty good now that the anesthetic has worn off. I’ve been walking a lot which is good and it appears they’re going to discharge me in about 10 hours from now. So I’m pretty stoked. Just want this diaphragm pain to subside. The only reason I’m starting to think it’s from the incision right there is because it when I take Tylenol it feels slightly better.

I bought some for the Post op phase but still thought the cal count may be a little high

My date has finally been set to Jan 28th 2019. I signed up September 2017. Ya.. tell me about it. It's been a long awaiting time. They kept pushing me back .. pushing me back.. darn cpap issues. They said I was not wearing it enough. So if you use a CPAP- wear it. Now after getting my surgery date and getting insurance to accept it .. my insurance has closed the account because the surgeon never signed the paper work. Errrggg. one thing after another. Every time I think I got it.. it just gets pushed back more. Am I excited, yes, its always on my mind now. But the question is.. will it happen?
