Congratulations on your surgery. How are you feeling? Do you have any questions?

Which one are you having? I was really scared too. I had sleeve on May 11th. Keep your head up. Everything is going to be ok. You got this!

You got this! I do understand that it is a big, life changing event, but it will be totally worth it. What are you most scared about?

I hope it goes well, we're all here for you. It's a huge step that will all be worth it.

I had gastric bypass Roux N Y on May 3rd. First two weeks were pretty good, no pain or nausea at all really. Now, for the past week I seem to have nausea all the time. Everything I try to eat tastes disgusting to me and makes me want to gag. I'm barely eating anything at all. I feel like I wake up nauseated and stay that way all day. I am able to get Water down, but food is almost a no go at this point. I absolutely hate the Protein Drinks. Just the thought of them makes me want to puke. I've tried several different ones and unflavored powders, as well as a Protein "lemonade" mix, and protein water and I just can't. I'm so over this at this point. Hoping it gets better soon. It's not even the taste of food that I miss, it's the being able to eat without wanting to vomit just thinking about it.

Preheat oven to 350 f

6 egg whites
1 scoop vanilla Protein powder
After blending let sit so the foam goes away
Place 6 ramekins in a larger baking dish, pour warm Water to 1/2 way up the sides
Fill ramekins 2/3 full bake for 35 minutes
2 cups (your choice of milk)

[Gabbie-1 45]

The milk goes in the blender with everything else. If not sweet enough add a little sweetener next time

Had my VSG May 19, 2023. Feeling pretty good, walking up to 2 miles at a time at 2.5 to 3.0mph. I am looking forward to transitioning to puréed diet. Looking forward to the journey with my May 2023 buddies!
