I am feeling better the large incision is the only thing really bothering me. I got some Flintstone children’s vitamins because I was so weak. My daughter had the sleeve done 3 weeks prior to mine. She’s been getting me through this horrible stage. Yes commercials don’t make things easier.

Best wishes to both your daughter and you. I hope you keep on healing and the pathway to good health smooths out a little for you. ??

I'm having some serious issues with protein shakes and powders. At first I thought it was just the taste until they started to make me nauseous and irritate my pouch. I do not want to vomit. I'm allowed pureed foods, no solids. I have no idea how I'm gonna compensate for my protein. Is anyone else having this issue...or have any suggestions.

I finally found something that I can tolerate. Have you tried Isopure Zero Carb protein waters? They carry them at GNC and they’re a clear liquid, not milky or chalky. I got the blue raspberry and have been adding some crystal light lemonade powder to them which makes it even better. They’re expensive, but at 40 grams of protein per bottle, they’ve been a huge help.

I spoke with someone today. They told me to get the unflavored powder and sprinkle it in my egg white, yogurt, or applesauce. I'll try it tomorrow. Each day, a different issue, lol. Today its all about the sharp shooting pain near main incision. Feels like a lump above the incision. I went to work today and realize, I need another week at home.[emoji5]

I stayed out 2 weeks. Some days I'm behind my desk all day and others I'm doing QT control in a gigantic warehouse. I love my job but I felt so out of place my first day back. I expected it, but not like.

To be honest about 3 hours into work, it felt like 6 hours. My energy dropped, sitting at my desk became uncomfortable, it was hard to focus, and then you begin to look tired. All my co-workers know about my surgery. They know about how upbeat I am and they were like, you should go home.

i started bk to wk yesterday & was so busy but still was able to get most of my liquids in,a few little meals,& take my vitamins.i thought i would b exhausted because i stand but i felt pretty good.
