Thank you. I ended up going back to the doctor earlier than expected and walked out the door with new medication, carafate, and being told to double my Pepcid. I was able to get two dose cups of the protein down and water is going down better too. I even got the JP tube removed (woooohoooo!). I...

I had my sleeve done laparoscopically on Oct 2nd and since discharge have found it impossible to get 48-64 oz liquid in. Yesterday was my best at 19 oz. I was having a terrible time with both burping between sips and a burn at time of swallow. I was given generic Pepcid which has helped some...

I am still trying to find protein drinks I like too. So far I am happy with Matrix "perfect chocolate", orange dream and peanutbutter cookie. Cookies and cream tasted good but did not mix well, the strawberry and banana matrix are also good and not in your face sweet. I tried Nectar sample pack...

At what point post op are we allowed the protein bars and puddings? I like fish so that is good news!

My hero at work is a woman that lost 160 lb with a lap band and has kept it off 6 yrs. I have had lunch with her and she eats healthy..and she told me she has kept processed and junk foods out of her life. She has been an inspiration to me to see someone be this far out and not regain. It can be...

Oh wow, I know you are disappointed. I am someone that believes things happen for a reason...perhaps to allow your liver more time to be light as a feather to be able to have done lap? Hang in there, you will blink and the time will have passed by! Pre-op diet more than 2 weeks seems rough to...

I am also worried but decided that before I started diet to have my endocrinologist see the diet. I will see him the week before I start it. It is important you have a good relationship with your doctors and should be able to call for help without always having to be seen. Don't try to regulate...

Thank you. I never dreamed I would say something is too sweet.

I am soon to start pre-op diet and have started looking for protein drinks. I would like to find a vanilla and chocolate powder that I can add sugar free flavored syrups to to change up what I m ingesting. The liquid drink I tried in GNC had 18 gms protein and met my other requirements but was...

I just had my year appt with my sleep doctor and was told my machine would adjust with my needs and that eventually I may not need it. However the mask may change...I would say ask the company you get your mask from, if they have RT you can see for sizing of new mask. A resource that might help...

I know it is not easy but hopefully this last week for you will go by fast. I look forward to the " not being hungry". My hell will start in a few weeks and last at least 6 weeks pre-op. best wishes!

I am starting my pre-op diet sooner than the 2 weeks...need to have the lightest liver ever. I really am trying to avoid open procedure if at all possible. Has anyone in the group tried Matrix powder? I need some good drinks 20-30 gm protein that does not contain aspartame. What is easy to...
