Soooo...my new birthday is rapidly approaching. 9:55am, Nov. 3, 2014 is when I will have my surgery. Having the gastric sleeve and a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time is starting to give me the shakes. I've been through major surgery before, I had my spleen removed a few years ago. I got through that pretty easily, but just the thought of having these two things are starting to make me a little uneasy. I trust God and know all will go well, but still....
Anyway, the question I have is, has anyone tried the New whey liquid Protein or the muscle milk powder. My NUT didn't know what muscle milk was and couldn't give me an answer on if it was okay to drink (even though I've been using it for about 6 mos now). I forgot to ask about the New Whey Liquid. What has worked for you during your pre-op and post-op if you've recently had your surgery?

I am soo sorry, how painful!!! And how disappointing.

Thankfully it happened the day before at least , if there is a positive in it all! That kind of pain and issue post surgery would be even worse.

Water intake is critical after surgery too. So make sure you come up with a way to monitor it. I used a small medicine shot glass I got at CVS. It had the different lines of tablespoon n teaspoon. I kept it with me and used it in the very beginning n it still was so hard to my water in.

Good luck????????

Had an ultrasound yesterday, Dr said no more kidney stones SO... I am having my sleeve tomorrow (Nov 7) around noon. I hope nothing else goes wrong! Hope everyone else who has been sleeved recently is doing well. Let us know!

Good luck tomorrow, we are all excited for you!!!
