Hi Everyone!! I had my 2 and a halfish post op yesterday, n i was surprised to see 23 pounds were gone . The doctor was pleased on how well I am doing, but im not!! Im so sick of the protein shakes they make me want to barf!! sorry for the tmi.. i know that i can come here and some of you probably feel the same way. I have been eating tuna, yogurt( which i hate) cheese, turkey and cottage cheese. I also tired eggs but i hate those too. So now back to the protein intake i need to find something that i like. I curently have Isopure vanilla flavored, EAS chocolate flavored and Optisourse this is a caramel flavor....but the taste is horrible now i have tried it with fruit as a smoothie and this morning it almost came back up what do you guys think about something else that is more like water flavored or clear n not horrible. I was thinking about those Special K protein water drinks...also i try and get in 3 bottles of water the 16 oz ones those kinda go down good. I feel like im not doing good enough and its frustrating me so much. I feel like crap in the mornings i wake up not hungry at all and just to think that i have to get the protein down yuck!! i don't even feel like getting back up. This is so sad i know i have worked so hard to give up now. Since i have lost so much weight last year i was 350!! now im 267. I hate this and the only thing im looking forward is being able to have more food and less protein drinks. The doctor told me yesterday that next week i can try grilled fish, chicken, turkey so i am!! and he wants me to drink 2 protein drinks...but they are getting expensive

Thank you so much!! I was going nuts drinking the protein with Water only ...your AWESOME!!

Hi Vicky, How are you doing? I hope you are feeling much better now. I am almost 3 weeks out and i have not have had any stomach pain just some discomfort when i eat and the doctor said its normal because its the new tummy getting used to food. I am also going to be going the my obgyn to get the mirena so we shall see how that goes. take care, patty

Hello everyone! im new here and i just have a question for you. I was sleeved 2/28 surgery went fine im feeling good, with the exeption that im SICK of the protein shakes and water so...Thursday i took my Centrum multivitamin and i washed it down with Crystal light and guess what??!! i had a major allergic reaction to this. I had to go to the ER and they thank god helped me because my tounge and thoat were getting swollen. Has anyone else had this happen to you??

Hi! i hope im answeing this the correct way...since im new and i don't know if im posting this correctly. I had taken Sunrise crystal light and it's orange flavored. The doctor at the ER told me that was the worst thing to drink,yet my doctors office recomends it. The ER doctor said it is all artificial and just chemicals. He also told me to look for some color free or natural mutil vitamines. I had never had this happen to me before and it sure was a scary ordeal!! At the ER they gave me a few things to drink one was a steroid, Benadryl, and some thing for the asid in my stomach. They also did some chest Xrays because i also have a bad cough, thank god that came back clear! but i guess some people get a nasty cough because of the intubation during surgery?? I am now affraid of taking my multivitamines. I started to eat too, this was exciting for me I had 1/4 of a cup of cottage cheese and a piece of turkey and oh that was the best ever!! sorry to give this long story but i have no one else that i can share this with since all my family was very scared of this whole ordeal.. ok my friends have a great day
