    I'm sorry that you are feeling so down. Just don't give up, you'll get there.
    What protiens drinks have you tried? In my bariatic surgery class they had us try different protien drinks before hand and I really liked the Body Fortress Whey Isolate powder with almond milk, it has 30g of protien and less than 1g of sugar per scoop. I get the chocolate one. Like cbd, I've tried the fruit flavored Isopure drinks as well and I really like them. Some shops offer sample sizes to try out so you won't waste money.
    By the way, that guy at your club meeting is a total jerk.
    Best of luck

    First of all....don't get down on yourself. Everyones body is differant and people tolerate (or don't) differant things and lose wt at differant rates. I have had a few bouts with fatigue and find that it is directly related to my protein and fluid intake. Keep trying assorted types of protein. What I like prior to surgery I did not after and now use isopure (clear liquids protein drink with 40 gm of protein, 160 calories, 16oz) i get fluid and protein in at the same time. I have also just started using pure protein bars and added some dry roasted edamane. Good luck and keep trying!

    Gina, don't worry it WILL get better! I'm 55 and had my sleeve on Nov 6, 2012, and am 3 months out now. I had a rough time in the beginning too. I had two hernias fixed at the same time, and I have Celiac, so can't eat any gluten. I thought in the first few weeks, did I make a mistake, because I felt like crap! All I can tell you is hang in there it will get a little better each day! I have lost a total of 89 pounds now counting my 6 month before diet I lost 50 pounds, and counting 39 pounds post sleeve! I can't wait until this summer to be able to do so many more things than I use to do! Keep on, keeping on!
