Hello everyone I go for surgery in dec and I was wondering a few things. One is after surgery does it always take you a long time to drink. What happens after surgery? How long do you stay in the hospital? What shakes did you use after surgery? Any extra info would help please feel free to share with me thanks

Hi Marie,

You'll find tons of answers to your questions all over this forum- everyone has a different experience and story to tell. It's important to remember though that what works for one person might not work for you. I stayed in the hospital only one night, but have a friend who stayed for 3. I drink the Premier Protein shakes- she can't stand them. I've never had much of a problem with getting fluids down, while others take quite a while to retrain their bodies. As far as "what happens after surgery", there's tons of personal opinions and experiences for that too here- each surgeon has some different requirements, just as each body heals differently. Gathering information is very smart, bearing in mind that this is your journey to take. Keep us posted

Marie. When is your surgery? I'm scheduled for Dec 23rd.

My surgery is Dec 29th!!

I was in the hospital three days. Started sipping water almost immediately. I make my own protein shakes with recipes from the bariatric foodie cookbook.
