I had my surgery on Monday and today it is Friday. I've been able to eat a little scrambled egg and I'm getting my liquids down fine I got on the scale today and weight is the same as the day I had surgery. When did you guys start to see the scale move?

I had water, and didn't like the taste, so I would add a little Crystal lite to the water, and sometimes a little apple juice. I believe it was the additives that gave me the heart burn, and it sounds like if I get the protein in I will feel better. All I have is the isopure, and I can not even get a sip of that stuff down (gross). Is there another liquid protein drink that actually taste ok?

Is the heartburn and burping called gerd? Or is that reflux ?

I like premier protein it's pretty good I'm not a fan of isopure either

I think reflux

Yes!!! I know your pain try premier protein it's 7.99 and comes in three flavors , vanilla, chocolate and strawberries and cream. It was a god send for me! It's actually tasty

Heartburn can be reflux the doc said the burping is bc when eat or talk you swallow air and there's no room for the air anymore over time your body will adjust to the amount of air you take in and the burping will get easier

Oh good, post op I burped more than an avg person and have always been gassy due to dairy allergy but I still enjoy dairy or did.

Lol I just had a little milk I find it helps with my heartburn when the medicine isn't doing it

I was also sleeved on 3/13. I am still having trouble with getting liquids and I can begin to think about getting proteins in. I still feel a spasm everything I take a sip of any liquid. And I have been having heart burn really bad here lately.

I was sleeved on the 15th. If I get a quarter of a slim fast in I'm good. I make sure to take the Zofran first, the protonics helps with bubbles they said, so I take that at night. I'm getting weak. I want to go back to work Monday, but I don't know.

My husband just bought me some premier drinks and I can get that down really good... the only thing is that it said serve cold and my body reacts better to room temp or warmer liquids.

You can drink it room temperature also, just tastes like warm flavored milk. Definitely better cold, but if your body cant handle it cold, deink it at room temp. Its all about getting in your protein right now

I drink mines at room temp because too cold is not good!

I was sleeved pn 3/16. I had trouble getting my liquids in. I just have no desire to swallow drinks right now. 6 days out of surgery I went to the weight control center to have 2 bags of I.V. injected in me and 1-B12 shot and a B1 shot. It sure helped with the weakness and the I.V. helped with my dehydration. I'm working on getting in protein and more liquids the rest of the week. I was weighed at the center and actually gained 1 pound since surgery. Am I discouraged? No, my body is in shock and so am I. It will get better..I'm sure of it!

Thank you for the protein name. I'm going to try this. I have no problem getting water down.

I have never craved fruit sooooo bad before. I just want to bite into a watermelon
