I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

Deeda I had the protein shots, threw them away. They made me gag they were so horrible! Since its not all whey protein, its a mix of collagen whey and casein, your body isn't going to absorb it very well. But, its better than nothing in the first few days if that's all you have and if you can stomach them!

Okay prayer warriors. There is several of us going to MX Easter week. I have mine the 29th. Please say a prayer for all the march sleevers. Good luck and well wishes everyone.

Prayers go out to all! Keep the faith! Hug hug!

Thanks peacockmomma. I didnt realize that and yea its actually 42 g protein. Ill try it and see how it goes

Those protein shots were horrible! I liked blue Isopure with water and pomegranate mio.

Today is day 3 for me (unless we count surgery day...?) and is even better than yesterday. I only used two half doses of pain meds yesterday. I was exhausted after a few hours of being up and moving around, but short naps help.

I even somehow slept on my stomach last night without realizing it!

Oh, but this head hunger. Rawr. Boo that junk.

Congrats, joliebug!

Glad to hear its going better with you.

I'm day 2 past surgery. I hope to go home today.

I'm doing well in the hospital, took one dose of pain meds early this morning, and one dose of nausea meds in the past 24 hours.

Hi all, just checking in. I was sleeved march 18th. I had my first egg today, yum. I ate about half and felt really full. But that went away in 15 mins or so. Only down 5 pounds, but feeling good and I'm sure the weight will come off in time. 13 pounds counting pre OP loss. I have really good energy level. Went to an amusement park with the kids yesterday non stop from 10-5. Happy to be able to function normally! Prayers for everybody getting done today!

Good luck!

Had my 1st lap this morning & felt like a champ..lol..when I got back my gas discomfort felt better to..I will be in the hospital 1 more day but I'm ok with that. Only positive thoughts!

Alrite, Alrite, Alrite...congrats, glad your doing well. Another BariatricBeauty doing what's right for herself will always have my support.

Well my Nut told me today that I wasn't getting enough protein in. She doesn't want to advance me to any food until I get my protein in. Stopped at The Vitamin Shoppe today on the way back from my Dr. appointment and sampled the Isopure. It wasn't that bad on its own so I bought a few flavors and will try it with some crystal light. Wish me luck cause I really want to advace to some soft foods.

How much protein does she want you to be getting? I'm doing this on my own so I don't know what is the right amount

I was told 40 grams/day.
