Banana Babes

[longer-life 139]

Have you seen this on the VSG site where people don't tolerate the Protein shake suggested by their surgeon?

Yes I have. Is the shake whey ISOLATE? . That is the one I have to have because I am lactose intolerant. That is the only thing I can think of. Try doing a search on this site as well. (At GNC they allow you to return opened packages if you don't like them. ) Actually also consider Isopure bottled premixed "juicy" drinks. They are not milky and thick. They are watery like juice. Keep us updated!

@ Brandy, congratulations and the best of luck tomorrow! We have similar stats, I will be checking your progress! :wink_smile: Come back to see us when you feel up to it.

Nov 30th for me with Dr. Ramos Kelly...anyone else going to be there around that time?

Hello ladies! We are one day out Yippee!! So far, so good. Feeling pretty sore today but getting up and moving around helps. Dr. Mason came in and said my surgery went great! So glad made this decision!

I was just being discharged when we noticed hives all over my back. So they're giving me Benadryl and want me to wait around for an hour to make sure they don't spread. This is always my biggest fear with anything hospital related. I'm allergic to so many things. Hopefully the benadryl will kick whatever this is and I'll be, able to leave. We have a 3 hr drive home so I'm anxious to get on the road.

Hi Michell, I had my surgery last Thursday and had terrible blisters where one of the adhesive monitors had been attached. It did not look good for about 4 days, but is now healing quickly. I'm chalking that up to my body going through a major shock, so hopefully you are just going through the same thing.

Welcome Raquel's moving forward, dying2Bhealthy, Geno & KTT. Your names crack me up! :biggrin:

@Michell-I hope you are on the road to recovery and on the road home! You are on the losers bench girl! Yoohoo!!!

:purplebananna: One more on the losers bench! Yeah!!!! Congrats Brandy! Please come back often and tell us how you are doing.

I just got my date today it is November 30th.!!!!!!!!!!! I am super excited!

[Michell 8]

I got to come home! I'm just supposed to watch it and take Benadryl and if it gets worse see my dr. I'm allergic to latex and adhesive (and wear a medalert bracelet) so they were supposed to take precautions for that. Oh well, it would still be worth it. The worst part for me has been the deep breathing and coughing. That hurts! I'm getting a bit worried about how I'm going to get in enough liquids in such small quantities. I mean theoretically it sounds doable, but I can see this is going to be a full time effort at least for now. Good news is that I'm not hungry at all. Weird.
