  1. After surgery i discovered that i could tolerate powder Protein because when u blend it air gets incorporated into it so gas kills u and also cause its like gritty. I preferred ready to drink protein. I like the 12 oz can of pure protein that has 35 grams. So if u need 70 grams it would only take to cans and thats 24 oz out of the 64 recommended. Good luck and hope this helps.


  2. Im in stage 3 because I'm one month out but i don't like heavy Breakfast. so, Today i wanted a smoothie so i decided to try something out. I drink the pure Protein ready to drink so i took 2 oz of that put it in the blender with 2 oz of greek yogurt (chobani) and one medium strawberry. I bended it and then added 3 cubs of ice, a pack of Splenda, vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon and blended it again. It was so delicious and backed with protein. It took me an hour to finish it all but it was so good. If u wanna make it in smaller amount just reduce the amounts.


  3. For those of you who were sleeved the first week in march...how is eating going for you? I always feel sick after I eat. I've never thrown up but it's getting to the point where I don't even like to eat anymore. Nothing tastes good and I always feel nauseated after I do?

    I was sleeved on the 5th, and believe me your not alone. I get nauseous after eating and i vomited yesterday. I feel like everything i eat gets stuck. Enjoying food is hard i kno.

  6. You should go to a pharmacy and buy Steristrips to close the hole back up if it is gaping open that much. That will keep the edges together.

    I agree but i think you should flush it with hydrogen peroxide wait for it to dry and then put the strips. My biggest scar opened a lil and i did that and two days later it healed. I hope it gets better soon. :)


  7. I also have the flu and im dehydrated too. Its hard but just drink Water. I like mys real icy. Im going to call my doc tomorrow and ask him if i should go to the ER because im getting dizzy every time i get up and my calfs are contracting real bad. Oh n my lips are so dry. If u feel like u need it go to the ER it wont kill to get rehydrated. I hope u feel better
