I am now starting my 5th day since the surgery and no more meds. I haven't had any issues with Isopure, crystal light waters or watered down Protein shakes. I have to work at getting the volume in, drinking from small shot glass or plastic cups has helped me from taking to much at a time.

Most of the painful gas from the surgery is gone and boy am I glad, that was uncomfortable. Sneezing from my allergies has been no fun, but it art of the deal.

I am looking forward to puree food, interested in being able to add some different tastes to the food.< /p>

Over all I am very happy with my progress, it is great to be able to see the successes of others also.

I got mine done March 23rd still recovering I don't feel hungry wish is good but I need to take the Protein I tried the shakes and my new stomach did not like it :/ any other suggestions?

What did you mix your shake with? From what I understand a lot of people have an aversion to milk after the surgery. I was sleeves on the 25th and I've been using Isopure drinks to get in my protein.

I'm using Water today but it was too sweet and do I love sweets but that was way too much lol so I might try the bars instead and see how does go

When did you have surgery? From what I have seen most people find that their wight is up after surgery due to all the IV fluids & surgery in general. Don't get discouraged yet!

How are you doing now? Have you tried lactaid milk, or lactose free milk? It is gentle on the stomach but still real milk. There is a medical grade protein you can order ( depending where you live I'm sure) called Unjury. They make a chicken Soup flavour that you mix with warm Water. It is pretty yummy and it is easy to drink. If you don't have access to Unjury, you may be about to find something else. Try different Protein Shakes until you find one you like. Good luck!

Not really, but I went through that prior to surgery.

Conrad's Marcy, relax and have a speedy recovery.

Also stay away from Facebook while on the narcotics, I posted some strange things that I don't recall doing. I blamed it on my account being hacked, just avoid it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
