 Hi!  My surgery date is Nov. 8th!  Would you share your recipe for pumpkin pie protein shakes?  I love anything pumpkin flavored and that sounds like it will be a good variety on the protein drinks in the early weeks!  

Good luck to you!  :)

That's where I hurt, around the port area and in my back. It is gas. I went for my 1 week with Dr yesterday and he prescribed more pain meds. I am doin so much better, still a little sore. I went to Sam's yesterday and think i over did it, because my side was killing me last night... Keep in touch

5 days left!

Day 10 on the liver reduction diet and I am so sick and tired of these shakes. Ugh! Lost 14 lbs so far tho, even if I have pcos. No wonder when you're not eating really much.

Topic: RE: 9 days out and missing food
I have those days where I miss food as well.  But I keep telling myself that this is just the beginning of my journey and eventually I will be able to eat normal food but limited which I am fine with. 

I had my gastric sleeve surgery October 1st and I am on the stage of puree food today was 5th day as like you I have had no nausea until now.  It is a bit tough for me with the puree food but I figure my stomach is getting use to it....0nce I feel nauseaus I just stop eating.  I keep saying to myself it will get better which it will...So hang in there you are not alone.

Topic: Surgery on Monday, but bloodwork...
I'm scheduled for my RNY on Monday, but my WBC is "elevated" according to my primary.  Had to repeat it yesterday.  Am finishing up a round of antibiotics for a possible sinus infection.  First blood draw was last Friday and that is where the "elevated" WBC was found. 

Anyone think that my WBC will be not "elevated" on this draw with being on antibiotics for this long? 

If it's not OK, I'll get cancelled. :(  That would not be good as my insurance to cover the surgery ends on 10/31.  That's a LONG story in and of itself....

Anyway, thanks for any ideas!  :)

I am so sorry and know about the pain and discomfort. I had mine on 10/13 and I'm just today feeling ok and less pain. I haven't has any throwing up or nausea, but the pain was umbearable. I gag at any foods still and it's hard for me to eat anything without hurting in my chest. I've lost 9 pounds and am happy, but I don't know what to tell you about keeping stuff down, because I have'nt eaten 500 calories a day since surgery.
