Roadside lemonade my favorite. I add 16 oz Water and give it a squirt of lemonade mio to boost the lemon flavor...yummy! Also loved the double stuff cookie with 1% milk.

His good fortune to be sitting across from you! Lol...let it rock sister!

Sleeved on the 6th. Today for first time I had diarrhea. Very puzzled. I'm thinking it was the bit of SF pudding I had yesterday and this morning. Will try yogurt tomorrow instead. Went for a 25 min walk this afternoon...my longest walk! My dr. Appt is scheduled for nov. 19. All in all I think I'm doing pretty good.

What are Quest bars?

This is an awesome thread. I was sleeved nov. 6th, so I'm very new. Just trying to get my liquids and protein in at this point. I, too, don't want to starve. Just want to run and play with my 7 grandsons (all under age 10). I must be able to eat in restaurants when this is all healed cause my Italian hubby is a real foodie. It will be so cool to be satisfied with a small portion and have leftovers for lunch! Congrats to all ahead of me in this process.

Wow...you go girl! Congrats. Hope you continue to do well. I, too, was sleeved on 6th. Bad nausea and vomiting for first day and a half. Much better now.

Sleeved on nov 6. Doing ok, not getting all my fluids and protein in, but doing the best I can. Have absolutely no energy today and yesterday. Feel like I sorta hit a wall....but I will try to get more fluids in and that should help. Walked some last week, but no so much yesterday. Today is pouring rain, so don't know if a walk will happen today. Glad I made this decision. Keep the healing going!

Sleeved same day as you. Felt the same way you first day...vomiting every hour. Second day got better. Drinking as much protein as I can...today I got about 46 grams. I'm feeling some hunger as well and can't wait to start mushie foods on week 3. Continued good luck to you.

I'm using synthrax nectar...available everywhere online and locally at Vitamin shoppe. I ordered a sample pack from BJ's Bariatrics online. Got a package of 15 different flavors. Roadside lemonade is my favorite, but I also like twisted cherry, strawberry kiwi, and double stuffed cookie. Taste just fine and you get about 23 grams of protein when you mix with Water. I mixed the double stuffed cookie with 1% milk and got an extra 8 grams.

CoCo, we are sleeve sisters...hope you are healing comfortably. I don't have any regrets either. It has been hard to get some protein and water down....I have to sip so slowly, but tomorrow is one week, and it should really start improving I'm told. Keep smiling and sipping....sipping...sipping....sipping...LOL

So sorry Kris...I'm from Virginia too. I really hope you get those hives under control.....keep us posted

Right now, I'm mixing one package of Syntrax nectar powder with 16 oz of Water. It has 23 grams of Protein. First two days I didn't quite finish it cause I also sipped plain water. Yesterday I finished the whole shake and a 16 ounce bottle of water! Today thus far my favorite flavor has been roadside lemonade. Really quite good with strawberry kiwi a close second. Didn't care too much for the crystal sky flavor. Today I used the double stuffed cookie flavor and added the package to about 9 ounces of 1% milk and about one ounce of water. It is pretty tasty. I don't like milk at all, so that says a lot! The added bonus of the milk is that you get an additional 8 grams of protein!!! Making today's shake a whopping 31 grams of protein! You can order a sample of 15 different flavors of the nectar on BJ Bariatrics website. They have more than 15 flavors and you can choose your own. It has been a lifesaver! Good luck to you!

My favorite syntrax is roadside lemonade. Gonna try the double stuffed cookie today!

My favorite protein drink thus far -- I was sleeved nov. 6th -- is the syntrax nectar roadside lemonade flavor. Very good and has 23 grams of protein. I mix one package with 16 oz of water.

I spent the first 48 hrs. Vomiting about every hour...it was terrible! I was sleeved on Tuesday, went home on Thursday, started protein drinks on Friday. Your body needs protein to heal. It's Sunday morning, and I'm not perfect, but I'm feeling better and better every day! Hang in there and try to get as much protein and water in as you can. You can do it!

I was sleeved on the 6th. I, too, have no appetite. I try and drink one syntax nectar Protein Drink (24 grams of protein) and at least 20-36 Ozs. Of Water. This is only half of what I am supposed to drink, but its a start! My worst is trying to get down 2 multi Vitamins...they are nasty! My favorite flavor of the protein is roadside lemonade....really good. Walking as much as I can. All in all things aren't too bad! I have no regrets and am also looking forward to a great 2013! It's going to be our year! Hang in there...we can do it!

I,too, get a sharp pain in my chest if I sip too much or too quickly. And my tummy growls and gurgles a lot. I think the chest pain is from taking in air with your sip. I've been walking and that does help. I'm getting in about 24 grams of Protein a day and about 32 ounces of Water...half of what I need to be getting. My worst thing is getting down the supplements. They are just nasty! Every day does seem to be getting a bit better! I just hope these next two weeks pass quickly!

Thanks for making me feel more normal! I'm only able to get one Protein drink down (24 grams) and about 16 oz of Water thus far. I can only take the tiniest sips. But I keep trying to up the amount...hang in there...we'll make it!

I'm 4 days post-op and dealing with the gas pains and this morning I wake up with terrible cramps. I'm thinking oMG, what is happening? I go to the bathroom and discovered I'm starting my period...2 weeks early! What the hell. Has this happened to anyone else? I specifically planed so I would have a couple of weeks before I had to deal with it.
