12 days til surgery and my main support system is pretty much gone. I'll have to figure out how to do this on my own, but like so much of the many other obstacles I've overcome, I will get through it. I always do. I'm heartbroken, scared & disappointed.

@shelleyrn22 Sending a big cyber hug your way! You are strong and you will get through this!

I am 5 days post op and every day is better than the one before. I did end up staying two nights in the hospital with nausea issues and am thankful I was given that option. Meds make the difference, that is for sure. And that Lortab...great stuff! All in all, I am feeling good and looking forward to feeling even better!

you will definitely get through this and come out much better on the other side!! I, too am going through with this on my own as my partner decided he didn't love me, after dragging me across the other side of the country where I know nobody, have no friends, no family and for a short time - no roof over my head!! I look forward to the day that he spots me looking totally fabulous and happily on the arm of another man! Keep your chin up :) focus on yourself and all that you are going to achieve!!

Egg salad?? I was sleeved on May 1 and haven't made it to the egg part yet... it's supposed to be week 4 for me! I'm eating apple sauce, yogurt, Soups, tofu, sweet potato.... i can't do any of the Protein Shakes. GO BUY ISOPURE!! I like the pineapple/orange/banana. It's the ONLY Protein Drink that I can actually get down. I can't stand the taste of 100% whey protein isolate. But this stuff has it in it, don't know how they do it, but i can't taste it! And I've tried really hard to taste it!! It's a 20 oz bottle w/ 40 g of protein. One a day. And counts as 20oz liquid

GOOD LUCK!!! The night after surgery was a little rough, but the next morning, every hour was an improvement. I had no naseau, just the gas pain issues from the surgery. ANd now, day 13 after surgery, 18 lbs lost since surgery and no issues with moving anymore. No issues with incisions (actually all healed and just tiny little scabs). If I had to say, my expectations were far worse than the actual process!!!

I agree, my expectations were far worse than the surgery itself & the recovery! I thought I would be in a ton of pain, hard to swallow liquid, scared of the operation. Everything was a breeze!

I was sleeved on 5/10 just on Clear liquids for 7-8 days, adding in Protein shakes on day 10. Hope I still like the ones I have at home (I am not home yet, recovering in a hotel in Mexico right now!) & my tastes haven't changed too much.

The Isopure, is that like a milky consistency or clear? I didn't like any of the clear ones before I got sleeved. Where do you buy Isopure?

My favorites before getting sleeved were EAS advantage chocolate & Chike banana & chike strawberry.

Amazing that I am not really hungry, but know I need to have something now... at least to take my meds!

I think GNC is who carries the isopure, and it is clear....

Another great non milky ones are the nectar powders. I love the fuzzy naval flavor and the lemon tea tastes like instant iced tea. I bet it would be good with half a scoop of the lemonade flavor. I got it at mybariatricpantry.com

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
