I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

For those that have already been sleeved, how are you doing with Protein intake since surgery? I've developed a little bit of an intolerance to straight skimmed milk, but I am tolerating low fat natural yoghurt and Greek yoghurt ok. Are you using protein powders to up your protein or have you some other "go to" fluids.

Hi, I've been using protein powder isocool since day 4 after surgery 2 scoops with 8 oz of water after day six 4oz of water + 4oz of skimmed milk or almond milk (i dont really like skimmed milk so i decided to make my own home made almond milk) you cant believe how good the protein taste but be careful i drank around of 5oz or 6oz really fast and felt so bloated like i had eaten a whole cow [emoji14] had to lay down for a couple of hours

I'm doing great with Protein. I start off each day with a Premier Protein brand premade shake which has 30 grams! I have greek yogurt which has about 12 grams. I have 1- 16oz bottle of Protein2 0 which is a protein infused water that has 15 grams or the Premier Protein Clear which has 20 grams (I was told that the protein water counts toward both fluids and protein so double whammy ?) The rest of my fluids are plain water. Then I finish the day with another Premier Protein shake (30 grams) or a pudding, soup, etc with unflavored protein powder added (10-20 grams) So, protein intake can range from 67-92 grams. I am a 4' 11" female.

I’m still a little sore. Struggling to get fluids in as most things I’m drinking just make me nauseous.. but it seems to have settled a little tonight. Only day 4 so things are only going to get better right?

Had my sleeve on feb 28
Doing fine

Doing well nutritionally but my right-side incisions are still twanging when I use my muscles - I'm a stomach sleeper and haven't been able to lie on my stomach without it hurting for a week now. Driving me a little insane.

Who knows. I think they are usually cautious about coughs, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. I'm not sure about a stuffy nose though. I would just see how you're feeling in the morning tomorrow, and then go and try. The worst they can do it move you to a later spot.

I am also tomorrow, but 2 pm. Good luck to you!
