Hello all I am 2 months post op. I would like to know can you tell when your body need Protein? Yesterday around 5pm I started getting a head ache and as the day progress it got worse. I took Tylenol and that did not help .Get to work this morning and decided to drink a Protein Shake and the headache went away instantly. Have this ever happen to any of you. I try and drink a protein shake everyday yesterday I did not drink one.

Hi all I have a question for everyone who have been sleeved at least 6 months or longer have you tried firming lotions and if so do they work for you and which brand are you using. I was told Nivea Q10 or Aveeno are good.

I am trying out things now to get an idea pre op. I ordered unjury sampler for around 30. It has two of each chocolate' date=' strawberry, vanilla, unflavored and chicken broth. It also comes with a Rubbermaid shaker bottle and a thermometer. ( Because the Protein powder cannot be heated above 140 degrees or it clumps and congeals) So far I have tried the strawberry and chocolate. I can tolerate the strawberry but preferred chocolate. I just want an idea now of what is out there.[/quote']

I did the same thing tried out so many brands of shakes pre-op and pretty much tolerated them all. Once I had my surgery I can't drink them now for some reason. Strawberry is very painful but vanilla and chocolate is fine I mostly drink vanilla because it goes down smooth unlike chocolate its somewhat painful. This happen to a lot of people on here. Why I don't know if someone have the answer please explain.

I'm 23 days post op most of the Protein Shakes I drunk before surgery I can't drink them now so I'm making my on with Protein Powder, half a banana and 1 or 2 pieces of watermelon with 1% milk. I blend it all together this is the only way I can drink a shake now. Also I can't drink strawberry shakes they really hurt but vanilla I drink it with no problem.

Hey people' date=' I am 3-days post-op! 8/19 and feeling good. I am getting my fluids in taking anti gall stone pills and prilosec along with all liquid vitamins from C, B-Complex, B-12, multi, hair nails skin, Calcium caltrate among other things.

What's puzzling to me is I havent read anyone else discussing giving shots 2x to the abdomen after surgery. They are blood thinners but I was terrified but I did it. So happy.

I got them while I was in the hospital for 2 days once I was release I didn't have to get them I guess. I just made sure I was up and walking. I guess each doctor is different.

Can you guys tell me how many ounces of food you eat? Im three Weeks out' date=' and im having an issue figuring out how much I can eat at once. Dont know if anyone else can relate to this dilemma. I was separating my portions to half an ounce about...any ideas? Guess I will go back to that small small portion[/quote']

I'm eating about 2.5 oz I ate a 5.3oz container of yogurt it took an hour to eat. It really depends on what I'm eating. I had one scramble egg with cheese that may take 1 to 2 hrs for me to eat. I'm only eating meats or foods with high Protein because after I eat the meat I don't have room for nothing else.

Hi all I'm going to get very personal with this question. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op. I may urinate three times a day and my first one of the day is dark yellow and when I have a bowel movement its like a small child use the bathroom. My question to everyone is in the beginning were you like this and should I be concern?

Around 10 pounds maybe..my hair is thinning ! Congrads on your loss so far!! That's awesome!

Hi Ginagirl sorry to hear that are you taking Biotin. I read here that many women are taking that to help with the thinning.

How are all my July 31 sleevers doing at almost 3 weeks out. How much weight have you lost since surgery. Me I'm down 22 pounds since surgery.

GOD WISH I COULD FAST FORWARD THIS part IM 2 DAYS OUT OF SURGERY I FEEL CRAPPY CANT PASS GAS CAN'T KEEP DIWN Water BUT IM WAKING LIKE EVERYBODY KEEP TELLING AN IT HELPS I JUST WANT THIS PAIN TO BE DONE

I'm almost 3 weeks out believe me when I say it gets better. Take it one day at a time. I was the same way. Sip sip. You don't. Want to become dehydrated. Try crystal light or sucking on freeze pops.

Do you have to do the pre-op? I was unable to do so. Had a lot of personal issues going on in my life right now' date=' and my surgery is in two days[/quote']

For the next 48 hours you should be doing Clear Liquids. The purpose for the pre-op diet is to get your liver to shrink. You don't want to risk having your surgery cancel or reschedule.

costco makes a great Protein Shake called Premier Protein! It's fabulous! You may want to try it. It has 30 g of Protein in each serving. They come pre-packaged and all you have to do is refrigerate them.

I tried those too and could not drink them. So I just found some recipes so I am going to try a few today.

OMG!!! I tried that Protein shot too and I wanted to throw up!! I only drank a cap full. Disgusting!

I like the watermelon flavor protein shot. I mix it with Vitamin Water and drink it like that. I heard some people mix it with crystal light also.

What brand? I need to start stocking up. Surgery is 7 1/2 weeks away.

My advice to you is do not stock up on any Protein Shakes because after surgery your taste buds may change. That happen to a lot of people. Including me. I threw out so many shakes mixes because I couldn't drink them. I'm 2 weeks post op and I can drink GNC and weight watches high Protein I still struggle but I make my self drink them.

Where do you find them. What do they taste like?

I get them from Walmart. I like the watermelon flavor one. They are 3.5 oz and 42 grams of Protein. Right now drinking one of those and a Protein Shake is the only way I can get my numbers in.

Where do you find them. What do they taste like?

I get them from Walmart. Drinking one a day with a Protein Shake I'm able to get anywhere from 65 to 70 grams of Protein a day.

Have anyone tried the whey Protein Shots? They have 42 grams of Protein.< /p>
