I was surprised to see juice as well. A lot of plans don't allow it. Too much sugar.

This is the first time I have seen juice on a bariatric meal plan. It naturally contains high amounts of sugar. My plan says no juice at all. Even after healing it is better to eat the fruit than drink the juice. I know that all plans are different but juice can’t be good. Especially this early out.
I use one ounce medicine cups to keep me from drinking too much too fast.

It is more important to get your fluids than your Protein at this point.
Try a different brand of shake. You can also get fairlife milk from grocery store and drink it instead of shakes if you just can’t tolerate them.
I had no problem with the Premier Protein shakes pre op. Had my revision to rny last Friday and I am not able to keep premier protein down at all. I switched to Syntrax and fairlife milk.
Another thing is to make sure you are just slowly sipping your shakes. Like one ounce in 15 minutes or so. Go too fast and they will come back up due to lack of anywhere to go once your pouch is full.
Hang in there and keep us posted.

So sorry for your experience. I can only imagine how hard it is to deal with all of that.
Mine was ok. I was 6 days out rny revision and hernia repair. I went to son and daughter in laws. Ate my Jello while everyone else ate. I was ok with it and did enjoy the company.

I can sooo relate to you. My same surgery was last Friday. I get dizzy and am very weak from the extreme low calories I am consuming.
Hang in there. We will get through this and be better for it.

Yes

Thank you so much

I have to admit mine went terribly. I don’t have family, it’s just my mom and I. There is her boyfriend and friends. We went with him and one friend to Cracker Barrel for thanksgiving and I thought I would do my best to handle it. I had suggested another place but they wanted Cracker Barrel and options are limited. Even with a kids meal. I’m supposed to be almost at regular foods but have limitations from chronic illness. Between the stricture, problems with my esophagus not related to surgery, and dysphasia.

it didn’t help that he changed which Cracker Barrel we went to, and went to one I’d been to a past thanksgiving with my mother and two of her friends (a married couple) and it was a disaster.
The place was packed and loud. The day prior we had gone to bingo. I made the mistake of walking there. And it set off my pain and fatigue. I didn’t sleep that night. The next day I was exhausted and my nerves rather raw. We got seated and it was in the middle of a packed dining room. I’m on the Autism spectrum and have sensory processing disorder. It was hard to think with all the loud voices and a screaming child and noise all around me let alone plan what to eat.
the moment we sat down the waitress came and said very loudly are you all here for the thanksgiving feast. And my mother’s boyfriend says very loudly what do you think you can eat? I’m very sensitive about people asking what I can eat. The question sent my raw nerves into overdrive and I felt sick and I had to walk out. Instant Migraine.

he didn’t get it. He needs to lose weight he has a lot of bad health issues. He keeps asking what I eat or can eat. My circumstances aren’t the norm. And I have never been comfortable being out on the spot or people analyzing what I eat or don’t eat. Even if he is interested in bariatric surgery what I do won’t be the same as what he does. Plus he’s not in the right head space. If he were really interested he would take a look at his bad habits and how he eats. And he would make an appointment with a bariatric surgeon and nutritionist.

i try to advise here but circumstances are different for me,
I just wanted to have a nice relaxing thanksgiving. I ended up waiting outside to get away from the noise. While they enjoyed their dinner. Not understanding how all my senses were attacked and I was ill ...

So sorry, Emma. Fingers double crossed that you get good news next week. Being hungry is no fun at all. I could see why your dr would say that it is a good sign your appetite is back.
Hang in there! You are on the home stretch now

Good morning everyone,
Somehow I missed this forum when I first joined. I posted in the pre-surgery Q & A and felt like a loner, but I included the post on my profile too.
I am scheduled for a gastric sleeve revision on December 2, 2019. Someone asked why I did not choose to a have a bypass the second time and the reason is that I have a form of anemia that make the bypass too dangerous to manage. The irony is not only was my last surgery December 3, 2013, I am at the exact pre-surgery weight I was back then. I had quick early success and dropped 80 pounds in the first three months. That was both scary and exciting and I had this fairy tale belief that I could eat very small amount of my favorite foods and still be successful. Not to mention, I was drinking tequila probably every other Friday night. I do not have those misconceptions and gave up most of my vices - coffee with splenda is the last vestige to go...as a sheepishly sip my last cup.
My weight crept up drastically between 2015-2016 as I battled depression and suicide attempts, not specifically because of my weight. In 2017, I started thinking about having surgery again, but it would be another year before I was even emotionally stable enough to have a real conversation about it. I knew in 2017 I would not get back on that table until I was ready to change my life, not just my weight.
I languished a bit in the last couple of months after finishing my preoperative testing. I still had not made my an appointment for my final surgery review and scheduling a date. Although I am more spiritual than religious, I asked God to give me a sign of what the right was for me. Well, my answer came when I fell out of the shower (can't believe I said hospital before) and had no choice but to struggle to get off the floor. My knees hurt terribly when I finally got to them and in that moment I thought 'I am 46 and there is no reason I should not be able to get off the floor.' I made it up off the floor, went to the ER to make sure I did not have any new broken bones, and scheduled my appointment the next day.
When I finally had a surgery date three weeks ago, I felt empowered and excited for the first time. I have traveled down this road before and I know the hard work begins after Monday. I have stumbled a bit this week, but I am ready.
Mya

Give yourself time to heal and wait until you are eating dense Protein. You will feel restriction.
If food were mushing out into your abdomen, you would definitely know it.
Yourlungs get weak during surgery due to the anesthesia. If you use that handy dandy spirometer that they gave you for lung exercises, you should bounce back pretty quickly

I really think that a lot of these post op books are just never updated. I had sleeve surgery plus just revised to bypass.
I talked to my surgeon both times about the leak test. I was told both times that I would be thoroughly tested during surgery and that there was no need for the other leak test. I never had a second test either.

((((( Emma ))))) I wondered how you are doing now. I am so sorry that you are still in the hospital. I have to say that you look pretty good for what you have been through.
I know it’s got to be hard but, I know that you can do this and that the rewards will be great!
Hang in there and I too will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to update

I may be mistaken but I think that the people I have seen talk about being required to treat ahead of surgery were required by their insurance to do so. You may want to call your insurance company on Friday to find out.
Good luck!

Congratulations on your surgery. Hope all goes well it all settles down.

Good luck with your surgery and please keep us posted.

Pretty sure that many of us here have watched at least a few of his videos. Agreed that he is interesting and entertaining.
I do use Bone Broth, fairlife milk and some other high Protein liquids as well. Not just the premade shakes.

It’s not that I’m worried about what she’s doing. I was curious. More because I myself am not a fan of premade Protein. But I have no issues with my surgeons instructions.
For anyone interested. Check out the video below. Not her Dr. but I follow him and he’s quite interesting. He’s VERY blunt/crass, but gets points across.
