Hi all ???? I'm Jaysen and was curious to see if anyone has a May surgery date? I think it'd be great to have as much support as possible..

Getting a little worried here. Surgery was on Tuesday May 5...... Still experiencing pain , I'm wondering if I'm drinking too fast. I feel like I've slowed a lot but maybe not slow enough. My incisions are painful and I am using pillow to support stomach when I walk. At the very top of stomach just where ribs open otherwise known as the epi-gastric area is so painful. Is it pain or too full, I'm not sure. 8 oz of protein shake I drink a small medicine cup and wait 15 minutes to the next

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Same day of surgery for me too ????

The pain is is definitely real isn't it!? Today has been a much better day for me. I to, slowed way down with anything consumed. I also played around with liquid temperatures. Room temp is easiest to digest, without fear of vomiting. I'm comfortably getting in recommended amount of both water and protein today. I use in my water. 16grams of protein per 1 ounce. So I've been just doubling up my shots in my water ???? good luck to you on your journey ????

I've tried the orange, grape and peach/mango but not the lemonade yet. That ones next. It definitely beats that thick protein taste.

@salonboi. Just placed an order with Amazon for liquacel. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous, which flavor did you get?

Ordered the variety packs. I think packets I have to mix with water. All I know is this : I cannot drink another chocolate protein of any kind. I also have the Isopure protein drinks.

Awesome. I also use the isopure unflavored no carb protein in my water. Just to keep it high protein all the way. I is definitely unflavored, just adds a very slight texture difference.

Thanks Salonboi , I will check that out also. I do drink the Isopure flavored bottles ( iced tea and grape) I like a lot. 40 protein, no carbs, 170 calories per 20oz bottle.

Are you adding fiber to any of your drinks?

NUT hasn't said I needed just yet. I assume when I start adding more foods in I'll need. Nothing solid right now going in or out so I think it's the way it should be lol. How about you? Has your NUT or Dr said anything about it?

I was May 5th as well,

Congratulations on being on losers bench now ????????????

How's your it going after surgery? Today has been my best day pain wise. I got in all fluid/protein requirements today for first time. I'm very excited about that so early on.

I've hit my fluid intake everyday And come close to my protein. I've had a lot of pressure Which is uncomfortable but what's in I have left has been manageable so far. I m just really weak and tired I would say that's harder than he pain or not eating .... Are you experiencing any weakness or exhaustion?

Definitely on both fronts. But I'm relaxing as much as I can, so not much energy being exerted. The gas pain first few days was not fun. It's slowly subsiding. Walking definitely helps. Good on ya, for getting in your requirements so quickly. I didn't wanna push my new pouch to fast to soon. It was speaking to me, so I chose to listen lol. Definitely glad I listened. No dumping at all ???? yay
