Greetings and Welcome! Your surgery will come soon enough. Hang in there. Don't get a bunch of any one protein powder/drink as after surgery you may not like some and would be stuck with it. I have found some of mine tasting sweeter after the surgery, so I diluted it with skim milk to lower the...

You will be on another stage soon. At least you can have that-I am fresh post-op having just gotten out of the hospital on Friday and so I am on the Stage 1 diet. Will be glad when I get to progress. I know it has to do with the pouch healing and swollen. Carol

Congratulations on your weightloss! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I was taken off my Diabetic Meds as well. Sorry to hear about the issue with workman's comp and I hope things work out for you and your family. Carol

Ah the silk Nog. I haven't had any since right before the surgery on Monday. But, I do like it and will wait for it. Just can't have as much of it. Right now I am sip, sip, sipping on SF Gatorade-it has electrolytes. Plus just took a couple of tylenol. Carol

Glad you are home now-surgery is behind you. Make sure you take your pain meds. Things will get better. I had my surgery on Monday Dec 17th and was discharged on Friday. I had Gastric Bypass Lap via Davinci. My surgeon also had to remove my gall bladder due to the stones he saw on my Ultrasound...

He didn't give me the liquid he gave me pills.

I hear that if one has pain at home liquid tylenol would be good to use with the pouch-but, I cannot seem to find the stuff. I checked Walmart this morning and then I went online and checked. Has Liquid tylenol been phased out??? The surgeon gave me a pain med to take home before so that I would...

Yep, once I get that knockout juice that will be it until I wake up in recovery with my PCA pump, foley and JP. Will take recovery nice and easy. Got to program my phone for my work floor's phone number. I work in the unit right next door to where I will be in. Not far to visit once I am up and...

Where in wisconsin? I lived there in 2001. In Madison. I worked at the University of Wisconsin Hospital there. I hope all goes well with your surgery. Speedy Recovery. Try heating pads. I hear they help-I will use them as well on Monday when I have my surgery. Carol

Congratulations!!! Follow your Team's instructions and you will do fine. Heating pads work well for the tummy after surgery with the soreness and gas pains. Get an abdominal binder at the hospital it will also help. I told my surgeon today at my last surgeon visit before my Monday surgery on...

The feelings afterward are normal from what I have seen alot of people get them and then they go away. It gets better. Keep sip sip sipping all throughout the day. They say do not worry about the protein in the first week especially -just try and keep sipping the fluids. I picked up a Zero...
