I tried Isopure, but it has am after taste like lighter fluid, nasty! GNC has a protein shake that has 35, and Myoplex lite has 20 pf protein they are both decent tasting.

I am 4 weeks post sleeve in 2 days. I was very nervous, as I know you are. I did so much research before hand as I am a nurse and wanted to know as much as I could to choose the best option. I did not sleep at all the night before my surgery. My procedure went very well and I was home the evening of the day after my surgery. There were 3 other VSG's on my hospital floor and they all stayed another day. The pain was not as bad I thought it was going to be, but i will not lie to you, I was Hurting the day after the surgery. Thank god for meds, morphine is good stuff, and will allow you to get some rest. By post surgery day two i was up on my feet, barely, still pain but manageable and mostly when moving around. Went home with percocet for pain, only took two the first night home to get comforable enough to sleep. Took one the next two nights and then stopped taking them all together. Was a couple of weeks till i had no incisional and abdominal muscle pain when moving and bending over especially. Also a few weeks before i coulsleep on my side comfortably but that has alot to do with my big belly. I have lost 40 pounds already and have not vommited once. I am deathly afraid to vomit and harm something internally, but that is my phobia. I can honestly tell you that I am feeling better already,and i am very pleased with my decision. It is not an easy road or a shortcut, its pain and now sacrifice, but it is well worth it. I wish you luck and hope you have a smooth time of it.
