I tried vanilla muscle milk and wanted to vomit! It tasted sour and yuck. chocolate went down better. I also got some gatorade g2, because I am scared to death that i will get dehydrated. I got up this morning and went to kroger. I was getting all kinds of stares because i know the clerks are used to seeing me zip around the aisles 4 nights out of the week, and I was walking like a snail this morning. I stocked up on food/drink for this phase.

on clears until monday then I will make 1/2 batches of frosty shake. The Isopure grape isn't that great, but I added Grape MIO and it is much better. I am downing liquid with no problem really. 1/2 sf cherry Jello made me extremely full and that = 1-3/4 ounces.

Monday I will try a real shake. I'm very flemmy still and I have post-nasal drip and i cough a lot, though I have an inhaler and use the spirometer a lot. I'm worried about the shake causing more conjestion. If this isn't better by Monday I will call the surgeon, to have a chest xray and make sure I didn't end up with pneumonia. I did all the right things, I walked and sipped, and used spirometer.

Re-read your post-op paperwork. That will tell you whether you can start shakes or not. It's best to follow your doc's orders. If you have any questions, call the nurse or office tomorrow morning.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
