You will be fine - drink drink drink that is what I did. Try to keep busy doing something so you don’t think about food.

Quest protein bars. Low sugar, low carbs. 20 grams of protein

I don't drink any protein shakes but i do drink fair life milk every morning and it helps me get that extra protein in.

Sorry, I missed that in your first post.

Great work! Turkey day seemed to coincide with starting real fat loss for me so I lost 6 pounds over the long weekend.

Yeah, the recommendations vary from doc to doc. Early on, most surgeons simply copied their RNY protocols for their sleeve patients - diet, supplements, drug interactions, etc. Those who had been doing sleeves for a long time - primarily the DS crowd - had lots of experience indicating that NSAID use was fairly benign (indeed, that was one of the selling points for the DS or VSG over the RNY.) As more got familiar with the sleeve, they often loosened up on their restrictions. At the same time, the medical world in general has become more cautious about NSAID use in general - for everyone - so we have two conflicting trends. The main point is that there is a physiological difference between the two procedures that influence their relative tolerances for these meds, and that is something that should be considered in these decisions. Ideally, none of us will need to take these meds, but the world isn't ideal, and that's where these compromises come into play.

Congratulations 💚

It is more important to get your fluids than your protein at this point. Try a different brand of shake. You can also get fairlife milk from grocery store and drink it instead of shakes if you just can’t tolerate them. I had no problem with the premier protein shakes pre op. Had my revision to rny last Friday and I am not able to keep premier protein down at all. I switched to syntrax and fairlife milk. Another thing is to make sure you are just slowly sipping your shakes. Like one ounce in 15 minutes or so. Go too fast and they will come back up due to lack of anywhere to go once your pouch is full. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Awesome! The longer you can keep this mindset during the WLM, the better in my honest opinion. I didn't want to dink around with the scenic tour of weight loss. Been there, done that, never got to goal that way.

I think you may be right. I am double checking. I may have misunderstood Clear VS Sugar -free ,low fat full liquid diet. Thanks. I would really like to have insure protein shakes first day home. Glad that I'm learning this now. 6 days to go. lol
