I just got home from the hospital last night. I can drink plenty of water, but the protein shakes are giving me gas. I tried the unjury chicken stock, but uckkk. I've only got 3 oz of protein in and a little yogurt. I hope it gets easier, I think I'll try unflavored unjury with runny grits which is allowed.

It will get easier day by day, just do what you can. Keep up with plenty of water. Congratulations! Try different types of shakes too, like ready to drink rather than powder. I like premier protein, and muscle milk isn't too bad. Good luck!

I cant do shakes right now at all. I do Isopure which 10oz has 20protein in them. I also do 1/2cup of plain chobani and 1/2 scoop of strawberry unjury and that has 22 protein. The Isopure are really helping me get my 65-85 grams in because as we all know- protein heals :)

Oh and Isopure counts towards fluids.

So glad you are home Brenda! How was Dr. Kligman? What did he say to you about how things went after the surgery? And why did they keep you 3 days? My date is March 13...my last meeting with Kligman is the 5th...I'm just anxious to know what to expect! Do you think he is comfortable with doing the sleeve?

I had Dr. Lomenzo do the surgery, he said everything went well. The swallow test looked great. The one thing I didn't expect was the severe nausea. I was on two different nausea meds while in the hospital. I stayed a little longer because I couldn't get all my fluids in. I will say if you have a protein shake you like, take it with you. The strawberry they provided was bad. All in all it was enter then I expected and I haven't taken any pain meds since i got home and the nausea is gone. Now I need to work on the protein.

oh never mind, I forgot you told me that LoMenzo did your sleeve. Well, how was he?!
