    I was sleeved on May 24,2011. I have been having a very hard time getting my protein in daily I was only able to get in about 30 grams of Protein a day and my Doctor wanted me to have between 60-70 grams of Protein a day it just wasn't happen. Then I found Sunkist Protein it has 42 grams of protein for 3.2fl.oz no sugar and no fat, you can get them in Grape,Orange and fruit Prunch. You can order online at http://smoothieds.my...roducts/5740004

    Hi Eddie

    Sorry to hear your miserable for nauseous my Doctor gave me ONDANSETRON ODT 4MG TABLETS and it helped alot. I have had trouble getting my liquid down the best way for me was to get it as cold as I can the colded the better and lot of popsicle for the first few days that was the only way i was able to get my liquid's in me2 small sips and i was done. As for as Protein I found Special K has Protein packets you can add to a bottle Water and I took the mix and made myself protein popsicle's. Hope whats has worked for me might help you in some way. My surgery was on May 24,2011

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Eddie. I was sleeved on May 13th after about 6 months of research. I' was 5'7' and 250 pounds before I started and have lost 25 pounds.I was pretty active before, just lived on fast food and got fat. I didn't like the long term complications with the band and the full bypass was too scary.

    In the three weeks since I've had this done, I've been miserable. I'm exhausted, nauseous & struggle just to get 20 ounces of liquid and maybe 20 grams of protein a day. I've tried Protein Powder, Isopure, Protein Shots, you name it. Nothing taste decent enough to make me not want to boot it back up. The thought of food or drink makes me want to yack. I've already barfed today. I called the doc and his brilliant suggestion was to drink more. If I could drink more, I doubt I'd be in this situation. At this point, I'm not worried about losing weight. I just want to get healthy enough again to be productive. Anyone else go through this?? What did you do??

    What day is your surgery? Who's your Doctor?

    I scaned my packet and put it on my ipad so I'll have it with me at all times,because I know I'll forget....LOL

    As far as friends sometimes we have to ask for them to be there with us.

    My surgey was May 24,2011 at noon at Saint David's in Austin,Texas

    My surgery is next week.. and yesterday I had my final appt with my surgeon to discuss surgery day and any questions I had. I finally broke down, and cried :( Might I add that my surgeon is BEYOND cute... which made it worse! He was discussing surgery day and said that after the operation was over he would go out and talk to my family and friends and let everyone know how it went. . . only my family is back East, and I dont have that many friends who actually offered to be there waiting :( It really just makes me sad.. I never thought about that part I guess. I feel like im going at this alone..and it sucks.

    Im also a little worried about remembering ALL THESE RULES after surgery .. I feel like Im going to have to keep my info packet next me so I can read what Im supposed to do everyday. Does this part get easier as days go by??

    Also .. i have been thinking about all the foods that are no longer going to be in my diet. Am i NEVER going to be able to have a slice of pizza again? or a burger? I kinda thought that maybe eventually i could have these things, but of course extremely smaller amounts, way less often.

    Any input is appreciated :)
