What are you getting in..how y'all feeling?

Hi yeah me ! The advice ideas given was to cut back on the milk drinks ' date=' fruit juices etc and to drink some Gatorade[/quote']

Hi shabbychicprincess sorry to be a dough ball but what is Gatorade? I am from Scotland and never heard of it.

Gatorade is a sports drink with electrolytes..you probably have one over there..it is for dehydration.

A poo sample..what are they looking for..that makes me think I should tell my doc. ..they are doing it because of your diareah or something else?

Hi all, I am sleeved on 05 Nov 2012

8 days since op

Drop 15 lb

I am from a Singapore , where sleeve are rarely done here, less than 40 of them a year.

my doctor only did 20+ patient for sleeve. Sounds scary isn't it.

I am grad that I survive.

On the 4th day while in hospital, doctor already ask me to take full liquid (protein drink)

So far so good. But I worried if i have enough input of "food"

I only took 2 x 160 cal Protein drink and Water a day.

I wanted to lose weight slowly and healthy.

I still got cravings to eat my favorite food... Not sure is it real or mental... Hungry...

This is my first post btw.

They said I'd my pooh is infected then they can't give me anything to clear it up I will just have to let it run its course. They are trying to take me back into hospital but I have 3 autistic kids and no one to help.

Oh..I'm so sorry. What made them think it would be infected?

The hospital where I had my operation has shut down half of its wards with a bad novo virus just now so they have to make sure I haven't caught it. I was just hoping that this was nothing serious and it other people may have had a similar thing. I know that sounds really selfish but I don't mean it to. Just wanted to know I wasn't the only one.

Hi there. I was sleeved on the 7th and went home on the 8th. I feel very fortunate that I haven't really felt any pain or nausea. I am struggling a bit to get my full fluids in and protein and have been averaging only 35 proteins and 40 ounces of liquid. The shakes are so sweet it is hard to get them down. Yesterday, I tried tomato soup and it was fantastic. (4oz). I bought some frozen fruit and am going to try that in a shake with some orange vitamin water zero and a scoop of protein. I need something other than this chalky shake taste. I also drove for the first time yesterday, but just locally. I am down 10 lbs since surgery and quite thrilled.

VST Addict: Do you use EAS Advantage shakes pre-made or do you use the powder? Do you suggest any favorite flavors? I have got to try something new.
