You can try ensure MAX Protein they settled with me a lot better than premier. Just make sure you only drink the MAX PROTEIN ensure the others r too high carb and fat.

I will try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Have you tried the fairlife core? It literally tastes like a milkshake

No I haven’t. I loved the Premier Protein before surgery so I never tried anything after I found that. But I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah I have a hard time with the thickness of and aftertaste of premier. Fairlife is legit amazing. You can get it at most stores !

Also—I’m stressing over the hospital stay. How long (fellow VSGs) did you have to stay in the hospital???

I had surgery at 10 am on Thursday and was out by 10 am on Saturday. So two days for me.

How soon after surgery is everyone allowed to start taking whole tablets again? Crushing my blood pressure tablets seems to be making my BP go nuts....

Surgery tomorrow morning and I've spent all weekend like spring cleaning - scrubbing grout, changing dining room decor, rearranging furniture, going through clothes (three huge donation pikes and one huge trash bag), organizing cabinets that were pretty organized haha. I feel like I'm nesting or something!

My surgeon is adamant on 4 weeks before taking any pills larger than a tic tac.

Well it's been 6 days since surgery. I finally got a real shower Sunday which was great, but it irritated the Dickens out of my drain hole. Now sore again and the two incisions/sutures where the hole is is so ITCHY. driving me bonkers. I can't get it it because of the gauze and dressings ugh.
In other news, I'm a little behind where I should be getting fluids and Protein in. I hope I can get up to higher amounts soon. I know I'm probably already dehydrated, but I'm doing the best I can and just haven't been able to drink more yet without getting chest pressure. [emoji852]️

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
