  • I am the same way about walking. I have to walk or it hurts. Also, this sounds weird, but I have the hardest time burping. So I end up going on a walk so the bubbles in my chest /stomach come out. I know how a baby feels when it wants to be burped now lol.
  • Welcome! And good luck both of you! Hugs! You can do this!!!!!
  • Thanks for the suggestions! I will try these today!
  • Yes when I went back in they brought me sugar jello and Sprite. I can't eat or drink either! And for some reason.. butter was on the tray.. not sure what I was supposed to spread that on. They just did not know the gastro diet. Their liquid diet included soda and things with sugar. You really have to be on top of it!
  • I had a sleeve and I'm using probiotics. It certainly can't hurt!
  • Do you have a hernia with your diaphragm? They can fix that during your sleeve, and make it so you don't have acid reflux. Ask about it! :)
  • So Proud of you!!!!!!!
  • fantastic!!!!

  • Having a hard time keeping anything down. I had to go back in the hospital last week for IV fluids. They wanted me to go in last night but my daughter is graduating high school next Wednesday and last night she had a concert that I just didn't want to miss. Anything milk based makes me ill. This includes whey protein…
  • I'm so excited for both of you!!!! :)
  • Thank you! I'm going to find this Unjury today! I'm having a hard time keeping shakes down :(
  • I can say that I'm really glad I had some of those fruity protein shots to add to my water. Today and yesterday I've had trouble keeping things down but I could keep water down WITH those protein shots in them.…
  • I had the sleeve on May 9th and today I was able to eat about 450 calories without throwing it back up. I sneak New Whey into my water I have to sip and that's 42 grams of protein. The rest is a tablespoon of yogurt, pureed cottage cheese with some avocado in it,, or very low carb soup. I can stomach maybe 2 oz of a…
  • Funny. In the hospital they gave me pureed meats but I'm not supposed to have them for 4 weeks. So far yogurt, cream soups, pureed cottage cheese, popsicles (sugar free) and a little milk to think things down. Trying my first after surgery shake right now as I'm typing this. They had to keep me a few extra days. Irregular…
  • Oh.. and bring a pillow to hug when you go home. The bumps and stops hurt less.
  • Guess I'm moving over to the post thread now. Just got home. They had to keep me a few extra days because I couldn't stop vomiting. Also, I had a huge allergic reaction to some heart meds nothing to do with the sleeve though. Words of advice: Make yourself SIP water before surgery. I forgot.. twice.. and gulped and it…
  • Off t surgery. Really getting kinda scared!
  • Well I'm bumped over to tomorrow, and I've had my time changed 3 times today so far and i'm FREAKING out. I'm so very nervous! So currently, its tomorrow at 12:45. Let's see if that sticks!
  • Welcome!!!!!!! :)
  • My doctor doesn't allow the pureed until 4 weeks after! I'm already not keeping the shakes down well and surgery isnt until Thursday! I do well with the protien liquid shots i can mix with water.. ugh. I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well!!!! Keep it up!!! Hugs!
  • Congrats!!!!!!
  • It could be the sugars. I just looked at the shakes I have and most of them have some sort of milk protein in them. I guess I should go and get some dairy free JUST in case before surgery :) Wow! 3 hours on a treadmill! Straight? Or all together? You are doing amazing and are such an inspiration! :)
  • How are you feeling after this surgery last week? I think it's great you are doing this together!

  • So happy for you!!!! The water part is my biggest fear. I am a huge water drinker.. i gulp i t down in spurts. I don't know how the heck i'm going to be able to just sip it.. a tiny bit, all day. How often do you use the treadmill? Can yo start immediately after surgery? How long till we can , say, walk around the…
  • I have a big 16 oz glass i fill with water. I just dump a half of the tube in, and add some crystal light powder or some mio drops or something, and drink it .. when its gone.. i do the same thing with the rest of the tube. I can't taste the protein that way at all. :)
  • I tried Pure Protein in mint chocolate chip today, and it was horrible! I couldn't drink but half! It tasted like pepto bismal and water! That is too bad about the Unflavored kind... Those Whey shots(like watermelon or fruit punch) from gnc are pretty good if you toss them in some water
  • I would like to be in on this, but since i'm having the sleeve on May 8, that will kind of be cheating I guess :) I'm rooting for everyone here!
  • 3 more days Twiskers! You can do it! :)
