I have discovered that I like the Premier Protein Water (Peach).

I also have trapped gas in my chest. I can't burp. I told my PCP and he said it should improve in about 6 - 8 weeks. This seems like a long time to wait to burp but what other choice do we have? Since I am unable to eat practically anything it is difficult to consume Protein. Premier Protein Shakes hurt my stomach. I am able to consume Premier Protein Water.

I had the Gastric Sleeve on August 2, 2021. I received an unexpected Hernia Repair as well. My recovery has been a challenge. Today I went to see my PCP and we are going to see how my labs look on Monday. I should be able to eat some soft foods right now. Unfortunately most foods that I have attempted make me feel very ill. I HOPE and PRAY this gets better. My PCP was very reassuring. He stated that the Surgeon had to move around my Vagus Nerve during this Hiatal Hernia Repair. This is going to make my recovery time longer than if I had only had the Gastric Sleeve. He said that my brain is still trying to figure out my new normal.

I had my two-week Post Op Appointment with my Surgeon today. I had a successful swallow test. My restrictions have been lifted. I'm feeling better each and every day. Thank You for asking,

I had my surgery on August 2, 2021.
