Got some Jerry Robb strawberry whey Protein from Sprouts and I love it :*)

I'm not sure if its the same...but I use Jay Robb whey protein. I enjoy all of the flavors. I add a tbsp of sf white chocolate pudding mix to the strawberry and its delicious.

I was sleeved on the 25 th as well. I was so nauseous that I have not been able to keep much down. I did throw up with the upper GI series as well. Today I feel like my stomach is in spasms at times. Did any other person here have this feeling?

I was sleeved the 15th, and up until just a few days ago, anything cold would make my new stomach spasm and hurt. Everything, even Water, had to be room temp or warmer!

Congratulations I was sleeved on October 25 and I vomited during the x-ray I was so embarrassed

My surgeon has stopped requiring the GI series for his sleevers. After 100 patients that had tests that were all clear, he chose to stop forcing the tests as long as there were no symptoms of complications or leaking. He felt that is was torture to force a new sleever to drink all that horrible contrast right after surgery when most of the time it was unnecessary. I feel lucky I didn't have to do that GI series...

Don't be embarrassed. I told the tech I was going to ralph and he told me to do what I had to and handed me another bottle of ick.
