I'm drinking Primer Protein chocolate pre made from Sams. And carnation instant Breakfast w 2% skim n Unjury protein.

I bet the swelling will go down in a week or so. The gurgling could hang around for a few months.

Thank you so much for all your replies. Tomorrow I'm gonna take less medicine, sip slower, n relax more:)

I am drinking Premier Protein (30g) from costco, pre packaged and ready to go. Also, Isopure I got from The Vitamin Shoppe. These have 40 g per bottle and they have many flavors.

It takes all day to get in just the Protein but I am so afraid of loosing my hair which is already thin, that I concentrate on protein before all else.

I had the same fears. I thought for sure that they didn't even do anything because liquids went down pretty easily. Trust me, the restriction will start when you move on to pureed, soft and solid foods. Shoot for around 4 oz of liquid about every 15 minutes.

Be glad you aren't having issues getting fluids and Protein in. 40 minutes is not too fast. The liquid is flowing right through your sleeve. That's why people whine on here about not feeling full in the liquid stage. I did an upper GI barium series on myself preop, and all liquid was out of my (full size) stomach in 10 minutes. I had a barium swallow fluoroscopy 3 days postop and I watched the liquid literally flow through my sleeve into my intestines in under a minute. This is how liquids work. That's why you don't drink with meals, that's why slider foods are so dangerous and that's why we only feel full with denser foods.

I had no pain Meds (lortab) post op and felt fine. Are you in pain that you really need them? Sounds like you are doing great and you should enjoy your relatively easy recovery.

      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?
