I just finished day 3 of my pre op diet and tommorrow starts day four!! I'm still looking for a Protein Shake that will get the job done and not taste bad.

any ideas??

I love the premeire Protein brand chocolate shakes - 30 grams of protein and tastes great.

My nutritionist was dead serious when she told me about that. I do believe, however, in the interests of medical advancement, that there should be clinical trials concerning this. I would be willing to take one for the team. LOL

Because someone did this in the past, my nutritionist now tells everyone that it is not ok to put pizza in the blender. Seriously, who does that?!

Surgery went really well. Gas pains are really bad but I've been doing everything I can.been up walking every hour, gas x strips, Water, and a heating pad. Any other suggestions?

Isopure is the only one that I could get done. I hate milk so it was a challenge. Grape Frost is one flavor over lots of ice and it was sippable.

Almost 12 hours post-op....no incision pain just a slight sore throat and gas pain in my back, side and shoulder, all on one side! Heating pad, gas-x strips and liquid loratab. If you don't have a heating pad I would recommend getting one before your surgery..mine is a godsend....No desire to eat or drink, so I have to make myself sip Protein Water. Hoping tomorrow is better pain wise but I am finding the pain manageable...Good vibes to all up coming banders and healing wishes for the recently banded!

Hello All,

I'm getting banded this Thursday the 20th (yayyyy!!!). I'm excited and ready for this new beginning for me. I have a question for those of you that were already banded, but if you have any advice I will take it. I want to know what you guys would recommend me buying before he surgery to make the post-op process easier?

Also, are there any Vitamins that you guys would recommend and have had god experience with? Maybe some that would help with Hair loss and such.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
