So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

It could be from the pain meds. I had a terrible headache while taking them along with the nausea meds. Once I stopped taking them I had a bad hangover headache.

Hey all you newbies to The loser side, what's your favorite Protein shake?

I drink preimer- chocolate and vanilla,

unjury- chocolate splendor and chicken Soup,

muscle milk - chocolate and vanilla flavor and

milk shake bar -vanilla carmel. These are all I've been drinking pre-surgery and just looking to add to my variety

I drink nectar. They have all flavors but I like the chocolate the most. Also I like the pineapple flavored one. It kind of tastes like pina colada. I can't remember the name of that flavor. They also have a Cappuccino just in case I get that coffee craving. I purchased the sampler and tried them all. Most of them are fruity flavors. They're all pretty great. 23 grams of Protein & with fat free lactate milk you'll have at least 30 grams.

My doctor didn't want me to drink concentrated Protein drinks. He told me to find protein made from isolate. And nectar is not thick and tastes great!

Did he give a reason for no concentrate?

Yes @@ChooChi73

He said that concentrated protein is not full protein. Only partial. He said I need 100% protein because I will be lacking nutrients as it is & I will need the full benefit of what ever protein i drink. Which is what isolate is. Nectar is isolate.

Hey all, I am a week post op today. I started on full liquids(pudding, yogurt, creamed Soups etc.) Yesterday. My NUT said I could have very thinned out cream of wheat, so that's what I had for Breakfast this morning. We'll I'm pretty sure I experienced my first dumping syndrome. I felt faint, nauseous, horrible sweats, diarrhea. Ugh. Probably won't have that again. Creamed soups settle well though.

On the plus side. I've lost 10 lbs since surgery, and 25 lbs since pre-op diet!!!

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

OMG I did what Lindsey did, drank too much Protein, G2 & Water. I've been miserable for hours. Been walking & walking trying to feel better. I also took my Vitamins today around the same time, I'm too anxious now I'm paying

Has anyone tried cream of chicken soups? I had my first today. I didn't have a lot, maybe a tablespoon . I ate it VERY slow and I felt the beginning of a cold sweat. So I stopped. Then I got very sweaty and now I'm in bed trying to relax a little.

Is it too soon to have it at 4 days Post-Op?(or are we at 3 days) Or should I try it again and dilute it a little? I'm just glad it didn't hit me like the first time.

I haven't had cream of chicken, but I've had tomato and cream of broccoli. With both if them I diluted it with milk. They've settled well so far.

I'll try the milk. Thank you for the tip! I have a cream of broccoli pending as well.

Hello everyone, omg this has been so hard! I was discharged this morning from the hospital but I am sooooo sore and I feel miserable . I miss my kids but i can't take care of them right now so my mom is helping by keeping them while my husband helps me recover. Although i am not hungry I think about food. But the worst part is the soreness, constant rumble in my stomach and the difficulty getting all of my fluids in. I hope everything will get better soon.

I had cream of chicken Soup (strained) while I was still in hospital. I did fine with it...I probably only ate a tablespoon full

Did your doctor send you home with any pain meds? I thought about being brave and not using my pain med, then I decided, what the heck.

I hope you start feeling better real soon.

Hey @@Pup yes I have pain meds but they just make me sleep all day and I am sick of taking them but I learned that I need to. Tomorrow I will re focus and get back on track with trying to get my liquids in and keep moving around more.

We are going through the exact same thing, I was sleeved on the 26th, discharged after 1 day.. Pain meds make me sleepy all day, stomach growling and throat rumbling when drinking Water. Zero appetite and miserable.

Ready for this part to be over.

Oh we absolutely will!!! Tell me, do you get that random pulse of pain in your stomach every now and again? Like a surge of pain that you feel grow? And then fades away pretty quickly?!
