I had my surgery on 1/3. I can tell you it is not that painful and unless you don't drink any liquid otherwise you will not be dehydrated.

Thank you for the reassurance!! What’s the hardest part for you right now?

my hardest part is actually eating my multivitamin. I don't like the taste I should talk to my physician to try out other brands.

My original surgery date on Jan 4 was cancelled due to COVID hospitalizations.

It has now been rescheduled for 8 March 2022.

Anyone else on their liquid diet and super tired??? Just checking to make sure it’s not just me??? day 5

I am also, it's not just you. I am on my 6th day of liquid diet. I have had some burst of energy throughout the day but overall I am just so tired. We will get past this!

Starting my liquid diet on the 12th! Any advice?

Hi I am new to this group, which my nurse practitioner recommended that I participate in it. I have a surgery date of January 26, 2022. Can any of you recommend a plant based protein shake/powder that works well for you? I have been using the Premier protein products and the Ready water products.

Thanks,

Alecia B.

I feel your pain. Mine was scheduled for Jan 18 and has been rescheduled for March 3. I am happy that I at least have a new date. It seems as if some people's just get cancelled.

Yes I tried them and I hate them already. I was looking to see if maybe I could get a good liquid one. I will miss my capsules? let me know if you find anything good.

let's keep each other posted since I am also thinking about taking capsules. The chewable make me feel sick (aftertaste).

Hi owyn plant based protein shake is pretty good. I only tried chocolate. It’s on the sweeter side so I can’t really rock with it. I’m stuck with isopure protein powder for now it’s not punch in your face sweet. It’s whey protein though.

Yes please do! I have thought about opening the capsules and putting it a spoon with a little protein shake. I don’t know if that will be work for my stomach.

I had sleeve surgery yesterday. I am having terrible body soreness in my calves, inner thighs, back & neck. I feel like I did an insane workout and can’t move from it. I’ve been walking around every hour, but am still super sore. Anyone else?
