I add crystal light and a touch of juice (for me...preferably grape juice) to my isopure. Gets rid of the soapy taste brilliantly!

That's an amazing accomplishment! You should be very proud!!!

I like the alpine punch and apple melon Isopure.

Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing your progress!!

I'm also three days post op and like you also miserable. I haven't come close to my daily Protein or liquid totals but what I have been doing is sipping, sipping, sipping at Water and my Isopure whenever I think about it even during the night. You don't want dehydration at this early stage. Just keep it simple for now. And my doctor cautioned against using straws as this adds air to your stomach with each sip. Good luck!

Congratulations Mrskoubik!!!! That's awesome! What is your eating and exercise program?

Thank you Autum Lily for your thoughtful response. Rootman thanks for sharing your experience! That is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't mean I'll follow your program but its good to know. We are all in the same boat of figuring out what work for us. I'll figure out what 50% of my excess body weight is and go from there. And thanks to everyone for your input!

I have seen women who have also acheived this goal. Of course I got the sleeve to improve my health and would only follow a healthy course of action!

I am not advocating nor recommending starvation. I wanted to hear from those individuals who have done this as I have read on this and other forums. I'm interested to know their eating and workout habits!

I have read that some sleevers have been able to lose 100 lbs. in four months. And I want to be one of them!! Who's with me? I'm newly sleeved (March 28, 2011) and if anyone out there has done this please share your success with the rest of it! I hear that the first two months are crucial and also when you lose the most weight! So please weigh in and help me and other like me who want to reach 100 in 4!!!! Thank you!!!!
