  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  7. 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.
  8. 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?

  10. Hi Ginagirl sorry to hear that are you taking Biotin. I read here that many women are taking that to help with the thinning.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I tried those too and could not drink them. So I just found some recipes so I am going to try a few today.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Have anyone tried the whey protein shots? They have 42 grams of protein.

  20. I started purée today I was able to eat 1 scramble egg with cheese. I was so full I don't have an appetite I'm not getting my numbers in I can't stomach any protein drinks. help all advice will be appreciate.
  21. I am so envious of you guys I'm having trouble getting my liquids in I ate 1 scramble egg with cheese I have been sipping on 1 23 oz bottle of water all day as of 933 pm I have 2 oz left I can't do any protein drinks they hurt me. Im only a week out!! I also had a hernia repair. I decide to go for a mile walk and was only able to walk 20min and I was tired and had to come back home. I don't know what to do!!
