Have you tried the Isopure Zero Carb? its fruity and i actually found its not bad and its def better than the thick milky ones. I have only tried the Alpine Punch but its kind of like a crystal light to me (albeit it leaves a wierd after feeling) but nothing that watering down cant fix. Each bottle has 40g of protein!!.

I am 2.5 weeks out and i only lost 11lbs..nothing has come off in a week. I came home 6lbs heavier then when i went in and that took about 4 days to come off then i lost any extra water weight my body was holding onto. 2nd week i lost 3 and nothing since. I was told the same thing your body just went through something traumatic so it takes time for your body to catch up but it will. Don't get too frustrated. Also take your measurements if you haven't already...you would be surprised if the scale isn't moving but you are losing inches.

oh wow. i had my surgery on Wednesday and i gained about 5lbs in the hospital and i weighed this morning only a pound down from when i was admitted. I am still swollen like you though but 10lbs is awesome! congrats.

I havent been sleeved yet but i love your posts. i wasnt blessed with big boobs like my mother (mother natures cruel humor) but last time i lost weight they got bigger!! haha I still have a feeling after i lose 100 to 120lbs ill want to get a boob job anyways.

It depends on the doctor but when i had my gallbladder out i had a ton of piercings (15 in my ears, nose, navel, tongue and a fun one). I took all the ones out but one in my ears, put a clear plastic retainer in the nose and took out the tongue, fun one and navel out. I remember they said i couldnt keep the tongue ring in even with a retainer because of the tube they put down your throat and you shouldnt have anything metal on you. If you have anything like nipples or navel i wouldnt think you'd be able to keep clear plastic retainers in there but the nose should be ok. Id ask. I did end up losing a few piercings from the gallbladder surgery (navel since they take it out there there) and one in my ears. I havent been sleeved yet but i would ask your surgeon!

haha that was awesome...thats one thing im scared about when i finally have the sleeve is the looks if i decide to tell them.
