Anyone scheduled for sleeve in late Dec? Mine is on Dec 26, and I’d love to be in touch with others going through it with me.

How r you doing? Now I feel like I have a fever

Jeannine

Wow! Call your doctor ❗️ I don’t feel like that but drinking is a challenge. It’s harder than I thought it would be. I used to like the protein drinks before surgery, but now I can’t hardly tolerate them. R U drinking enough? It may be dehydration if not

Go with the 1 oz cups, every 15 minutes, I hate lukewarm plain water, I admit it, but I tell myself" Frustr8 this is for your health, if not for thirst, think of it as medicine" and I do it. After that go to 2oz, even my strictured swollen Precious Pouch will take 2 oz, that's 8 oz an hour, if you are awake 8 hours your 64 oz is in and done. Weak green or decaf tea, Crystal light, mio, was there a flavor,you used to like? I liked orange, I used to like lemonade, so lemon with a drop or 2 of stevia, strawberry-kiwi does it for me. Everybody has a taste they can tolerate. Your hydration is a worthwhile project. Got to keep on keeping on, I should know, I have had thorns along with the roses in my recovery, I have had to revert back to the 2 oz plan, I also have TPN running 14 hours to help with my nutrition and fluids, but I am not giving up and you shouldn't either. Come on, let's do this together, I'm game, are you?

That's not good! Maybe it's from the tube being down your throat for surgery. My lip is still numb so that's weird lol. Or you could have a cold too. My mouth was so dry for a couple of days but is good now. I want to start eating something more but dont know when I can do that.

Jeannine - I spoke with my surgeon and he confirmed everything you said as what may be going on. I feel a lot better now that I got the chloraseptic spray and some cold medicine.

Thank you again!!

This is most helpful, THANK you! I’m going to give these lil cups a try today. I can’t stomach this premier protein drink but I’m freezing it and trying it that way today as well and mixing in the tasteless kind into my cream of wheat and broth. If this all works I’ll be good! Yes, we got this and we are worth it❗️

I got burned out on the premier shakes and switched to GNC lean shakes..they have 25grams of protein. The strawberry is pretty good.

Haven’t heard of those, I’ll add it to my list of new stuff to try. Today, I got tired of the gurgles in my stomach so I tried a lil cream of wheat and so far so good ? it’s stayed down with no problem ?

I was shocked that I enjoyed it with no sugar and butter.. my usual additions. It helped me to know that those choices are not good or necessary. I guess im learning ?

Life is a learning experience, always stay open to the lessons for something beautiful lies just ahead, Remember to be Always a YOU BOOSTER!

I was sleeved 12/20z. Down 20 lbs after 10 days and all has gone well , feel better every day

Praise God!

So is it just your food choices that made you lose weight?
