I'm here too!! I was in the hospital 4 nights...the pain was pretty bad. I guess because they had to take my band and port out. I'm home and feeling good now! I am sipping Protein Shakes (2 a day) and Water. So far so good!

^ What kind of shakes are you drinking? I need more protein!

What day are you on?? If you are past day 5 I do nectar Protein and add 2 scoops to about 16oz of Water and for just drinking that I get 180 calories and 46grams of Protein. I drink that once a day and then a chocolate Premier Protein Ready to Drink (this one after day 10) which is I think 160 calories and 30 grams protein and there you go 76 grams of protein all done for the day so what ever I get in over those 2 drinks is a bonus!! DO NOT drink those Vials of Protein they are a bad source and a very low form of protein. It is a collagen protein and you do not want to know what they put in that stuff. Hope this helps.

Feeling good! Down 17lbs already! (6lbs of that was pre-op)

Tomorrow is day 7! And Friday will be 2 weeks since I had a bite of real food.

I'm very bored with my liquids and Jello, but hanging in there!

How's everyone feeling?

Just today I went to GNC and bought some Maximum Protein by SEI. I got the chocolate flavor. Mixed it up with about 8 oz of 1% milk and have a glass that is giving me 30 grams of protein. Quite tasty too. I can definitely do that twice a day.

I'm mixing New whey Protein shots with apple juice. (42g of Protein in each shot)

You can pick them up at GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.

On what day did you start mushies? i can't wait!!!

Not a good source of protein those are the vials and they use collegen protein.....NOT GOOD!!!:001_tt1: It is a very low protein....on the protein scale of 0-100 it is at the bottom.....Whey Isolate Protein is like a 98....Please do not buy any more of those. I bought 36 vials from bodybuilding.com and returned all of them....read the lable if anywhere on there says collegen return them.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
