  1. They are decent. I have tried both the vanilla and the chocolate. The best part is that I found a good sale and had a good coupon to go with them so I only paid about $1 per four pack. Pretty sweet deal. I haven't noticed a bad aftertaste or anything. I just have to take my time to get one down. From everything that I have been seeing on other's posts it seems that we need to be getting between 60-80 grams of protein daily. So if I can manage at least two shakes, I should be okay.
  2. How do you like the Premier protein shakes? I've been adding powdered milk to my cream based soups to get extra protein in and is still not enough.
  3. I am going to have to check out the Isopure liquids. I have been doing Premier protein RTD shakes. They each have 30 grams of protein. It takes me a while to finish one though.

    I was told that I can start puréed on Sat..as long as I am reaching 80 cc of fluid..
    I do the ISOPURE liquid for most protein .. 2 bottles during the day is my 80 grams of protein and 40
    Oz of my water .. I always have a hot cup of tea in the Am..that is not going to changed . My dietitian had be practicing sipping for 3 months . She wanted me to do it without taking any air in with sip. And to only sip never gulping which causes air and discomfort in pouch area!

  6. Are you only doing one week of liquids post op? I was told to do two weeks liquids post op. Can't wait until pureed foods stage. I did two weeks of liquids pre-op and just so ready for solids.
  7. I have been all over the forums here and been reading about everyone trying to get their protein intake in. I am wondering if we should be focused on the protein right now or just on getting in the water we need to stay hydrated. What are your thoughts?

    I have been up since 4 AM..out in the hall walking. Returned to room and passed gas..OMG.. Instant relief!
    Hope to be discharged by 5 pm.. I have to have 30 cc of fluids before discharge..
    Hope you have some help with the little ones because you do need some time to rest and heal.
    I amso glad this is over with. Five days until puréed foods.. My first meal to try..puréed tuna with lite mayo...
  9. I was discharged yesterday around 3:30 p.m. Just working on upping my fluid intake level. I think the only discomfort I am dealing with is due to trapped gas. I am dealing with just a bit of pain occasionally due to the incision sites, but am taking the pain meds just to help me deal with it. Have 3 young kids at home so can't just sleep or stay sitting. How are you doing thus far? Have you been discharged yet? Where did you have your surgery?

Day 6 Post-Op & Happy to Be Back at Work!!

by LadyGreensleeves on 02-13-2014 at 11:10 AM
So, after having a few blah days, I am finally back at work and feeling like I will make it through these first 2 weeks post-op. I am feeling pretty good. Still trying to be careful due to tenderness, but I must say everyday I'm getting better and better.

5 Days Post-Op and Going Nuts!

by LadyGreensleeves on 02-12-2014 at 02:38 PM
Okay... so before I start ranting let me explain a little of the home situation. My husband has rotating 12 hr shifts that he works. Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet was on a day I spent working during the day and hubby worked a 12 hr shift that night and also the following 2 nights. I did fine the first 3 days dealing with the hunger and food cravings. I religiously stuck with the protein shakes and other liquids out of fear that my surgery would have to be re-scheduled and I would have to start

Okay... So I've done something incredibly stupid...

by LadyGreensleeves on 02-11-2014 at 06:04 PM
I am only 4 days post-op and I was feeling okay. I got this incredible urge to eat something solid. I ended up eating a slice of cheese and a piece of lunch meat turkey about the size of a cracker. I am hurting something awful right now. It feels kind of like it is stuck. I worry that I might have damaged something.

I am kicking myself like crazy right now, because, after all, I haven't even been able to get in all my fluids and here I had decided to take a bite of something solid.

4 Days Post-Op

by LadyGreensleeves on 02-11-2014 at 02:24 PM
So I was sleeved on Feb. 7, 2014. My surgeon did a really great job, however, I don't feel like I was given clear instructions on what I can and cannot eat/drink for these first two weeks post-op. I have heard liquids. I have been reading on these forums about needing a certain amount of protein daily. I don't know how much protein I should be aiming for or even if protein intake is something I should be concerned about at this point.

What is the most important thing right now? Is
