It's so important to get that Protein in my friend! And there's little tricks that you can do that will help you along the way. When you're sipping your Water, they have liquid Protein that I bought through www.bariatricchoice.com and for one ounce of this liquid it is 15 grams of protein. Just add it to your water with some crystal lite and sip. Protein is really important for healing reasons, muscle and for satisfaction for your tummy. I wish you success in your journey! ♥

Good advice! Thank you:

Hello fellow sleeves! I'm 1 week and a few days post op and I'm down 13 lbs. I just started soft food. Refried beans, cottage cheese, egg beaters . I can eat about 1/4 cup of refried beans and 1/4 cup of cottage cheese mixed and microwaved so that's about a half a cup of food and I don't finish the whole cup but that's about as much as I can eat. For me, it's like a new adventure every day. I also use MyFitnessPal so I can kind of calculator how many ounces of protein I'm getting in a day. it's so important to get your water intake in also. What an awesome journey that we are all on. Any other shares?

You're adorable! I hope you enjoyed all the well deserved attention my dear!

thank you ladies, for the awesome welcome! What a journey we all have adventure on.

Welcome, and Congrats

I would love to buddy up with you! Just to see how each of our progress is going. Then we each have someone that we can compare to to make sure that we're on the right track. What do you think?

lifting you up in my thoughts and prayers! please remember that each day gets better and the stronger you become.

Thank you all for your response! Dilaudid was what worked for me too. It was the oxycodone my body didn't like. Thank you also for the awesome links. Something to keep me busy! Wishing you all well on this amazing journey!

I would try gasx. That has been my saving grace. It will help with the bubbles. Good luck!

Hello all. I'm new here also, my name is Christine! I had my VBS surgery Monday the 16th of December. So I'm 3 days out, and once they got my pain medication stable and found out which one works for me I have been getting stronger every day. I'm enjoying getting into the routine of all this protein intake and how I can sneak protein into my water so that I can get my water and my protein needs met at the same time. I am looking forward to the next stage when I can introduce pureed foods, but I would like to know where I can go find recipes from experience sleevers who have already been there done that. I'm 39 years old have two teenage boys and newly separated. Would love to have a sleever pal to buddy with.
