My favorite is Smart Protein from Complete Nutrition. Their vanilla bean is wonderful and though I'm not a chocolate lover I've heard great reviews about it as well.

Thanks for the heads up - so far, Muscle Milk is my favorite!

I like muscle milk light way better than muscle milk. I am going to big lot so check it out tomorrow though!
Thanks!

Love muscle milk. Especially the strawberry!!

I'm going to get some

I'm really glad you told us about this My daughter is nursing my baby grand daughter who is one month old. DD had gastric bypass a year before I had my band surgery and she is really picky about Protein Drinks. She needs the Protein while she is nursing, and she really likes Muscle Milk.

Buttaflyladi if it feels good do it. If it hurts, stop. Best wishes! Good luck on your weight loss! Sincerely, me

Just wanted to let my fellow sleevers know that Big Lots now have the Muscle Milk Protein Shakes. A 4-pk for $3.00! They have strawberry, banana cream, chocolate and vanilla cream. If you haven't tried Muscle Milk products, try it now. They usually run $3.97 a piece in Walmart and other places, so this is great deal.

Thanks for sharing! Great tip as many of the ready to drink shakes are expensive. Do you like Muscle Milk? I tried the chocolate and it was okay. I am still struggling to find one I really like.

I took 4 weeks off. The doctors stressed that I shouldn't rush back. I had the PS time, so why not? Not only am I focusing on healing physically, but I'm growing with my sleeve emotionally and mentally. I'm also adjusting to eating and drinking differently.

Your nose doesn't run or you sneeze when you have eaten enough...I do that and so do a lot of other sleevers....You have to start seeing the sign that tells you to stop eating..Even before when we were not sleeved our bodies gave us signals to stop eating...Like yawning or breathing deeply before we reached for more....Our brain tells us we are done and sends the signal to our body..we just used to ignore it...Now so that we don't get the pain of over eating we have to really pay attention to it or we will feel it and it really hurts.....

You are blessed to have that much time! Glad to hear all is going well for you! It's wonderful to not feel rushed & to have time to learn your new body

It'll be OK. Just move on. Forgive yourself.

The sun will rise tomorrow and the earth will still spin on it's axis.
You're fine! You got this.

Don't worry I felt the same way after surgery. The nurses were really pushing fluids, but I could barely take a couple of sips without feeling nauseated. I also had bad pain in my upper chest and shoulder/back area. I stared to panic my second night at hospital because I didn't think I would ever get down 3 of those little medicine cups. Those 6 oz felt like 6 gallons. I found something that worked for me though. I tipped my head back- like you do when you have a nose bleed. I was able to get the liquids down that way. I mean it looked silly tipping my head back to drink, but hey, it worked!

It will get better after a few days....I remember when they cleared me to start clear fluids and just sipping my 1oz of Water per hour was nasty...I would just get waves of pain that would start in my abdomen and go right up my chest and my stomach would gurgle and churn away...This was day 2 post op, and by day 3 around noon things were getting better. Good luck and I'm sure you'll feel better after a few days...just hang in there!
Edit - Someone suggested on the forums here to try breathing out when you swallow so not as much air goes down. That did help for me!

Im walkin I'm walkin lol now the sipping ugh not so much. I'll try the head tilt thing though.... Hmmmm

JeanZ, my doctor didnt hesitate either. He said I was a great candidate for the surgery. I also didn't have any trouble getting approved by my insurance company. I guess they could see that it would be smart for them too in the long run. My insulin pump alone was $6000.
