  1. Eso0402 can you order them online? Unjury.com sells the protein in a lot of flavours and also sells the chewable vitamins. Also Amazon.com sells some as well. Hope this helps.
  2. Hello I am sorry your having issues with getting in your protein. Some ways to add protein to your diet is to add some unflavored protein to it. I have used UNJURY unfloavored powder. I added in anything I could to boost protein. Additionally look for protein water, peanut butter, ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, nuts and beans like others have suggested. As for the vitamins if you can’t swallow them look into liquid ones. I couldn’t swallow them still can’t 8 years out. I use the chewable or liquid ones. They help a lot. Hope things get better.
  3. Glad you found out what was wrong. Speedy recovery and feel better. I am glad you found out what was wrong.
  4. You will loose fast in the first few months after surgery. I started at 298 was 275 when sleeved in 2010. I went down to 135. My goal was 125 (I’m 5”2’). I never got to my goal I began looking like a skeleton with skin. I stopped the liquid and didn’t measure anything and basically ate till I was full. Well here I am 8 years our and I fluctuate between 165-185. Depending how active I am. I never lost my butt or hips or boobs. I lost mostly the excess fat on my thighs, arms and back and belly. So it is possibly to get to goal or below and still keep your curves. Just remember that the lower your weight the healthier it is on your heart and organs. Take it slow and don’t worry. Your body will find its new normal and you will be ok. Just remember that it’s 3x harder to loose the weight once it’s gained back. I know I have been trying for over a year now. Old habits are hard to break. Best of luck.
  5. Go easy on yourself. Your still in the post op phase. You need to understand that you just have to sip small amounts. Your not trying to power chug water or other liquids. When I was sleeved in 2010 I could even tolerate water. I had to suck on crushed ice for the first few days. I also used a small plastic medicine cup (like they give your meds in hospital) to take small sip every few mins. I did that for about 2 weeks. Also I found that warm liquids went down better then ice cold. Flavored water worked better then plan for me. If your still having issues with liquids coming back up. Sit in an up right position when drinking or eating. Until the swelling is down. Hope this helps.
