I tried sooooo many protein drink post op and pre op, I threw so much money away. I could just not find the right one, until I tried Premier Protein in Chocolate it's by far the best tasting. I fill my protein shaker with ice then pour the shake in and I'm ready. It really is Delish! Low in sugar and calories and high in protein. You can find the big case at Costco or smaller trial ones at Walmart, WinCo, etc and they also have them in Vanilla and Strawberry.

Well 7 days post op I was not eating any food at all only water and protein drinks, not sure how your diet or nut advise is but every body is different don't compare yourself to anyone else's result. Listen to your body make sure you feel ok and next thing you know your scale will be moving downward, there is not reason why it should not. Patience is key!

There are times that I can have a taco with tortilla and times it is just way too much for my tummy. But just one and it's probably the only carb I cheat on and that is once in a while. If you can tolerate it I'm sure you will be just fine

Oh my would definitely love some size 14 p ants that would be awesome!!! That so kind of you! I don't mind paying postage either

not to discourage I have 3 children but I feel the pain was more annoying maybe cause I never had a c section but it was horrible the nausea the light headed ness, the chest pain it's a lot of things all at once but just like everything else it's just a matter of days 5 days outs I was like nothing ever happened

I started substituting my dinners with premier protein shakes, absolutely no sugars, very little carbs if any they were whole wheat, protein, veggies & fruits first! 2-3 liters of water a day! I lost 20lbs 1 month

I felt the same way I was going insane!!! Not good advice but I had a few taste of foods and made sure I did not swallow them then spit them out :/ I tried that with soda not too long ago it look delish and it was so gross way too sweet that I won't be doing that again!

Heard of a lot of people doing this diet, my Dr and Nut have been very strict but they were not that Much! I was on 14 day 800 calorie I learned to eat as I would pre op and was still hungry but not starving to death, they only had me stop eating and drinking completely at 12 midnight before surgery! But good luck your almost there

1) 5'6 260 2) 240 3) 219-216 varies 4) 150-160 5) working out more 6) having regular bm

What kind of weight lost did you do? Did you stick to a very strict diet and lots of exercise plus cosmetic surgery? You look amazing!!!! I'm sure you heard it 1million times! I just had my surgery in April and am down from 240 to 216 and it sometimes feel like I am not loosing as much or as fast as I should idk?

Did you mean to say, "happy dump day" Is it giving you any stomach aches? I was on Exxolax for a few weeks and I could not take the pain then Dr switched me to Miralax which is very gentle but very very slow since Sunday that I started it I was nearly able to go today twice but very little and I really have to push (sorry tmi) I am hoping to find something better.

After not having anything else but waters for weeks I was really craving some strawberry lemonade w/crushed ice from Sonic, it felt soo good but after about 30 mins I started sweating, having horrible stomach pain and had to run to the restroom... Long story short it gave me really bad diarrhea sorry TMI

Love this you just reminded me of the reasons behind my sleeve, I had 2nd guess myself so many times!!!

I had many regrets during the first days of my post op diet, I even went through a short phase of depression, I have always been a hard worker and not being able to do anything was getting to me. I am 4 weeks out, learning what I can and can't eat... My regrets have vanished completely.

Same her I was 260 on my orientation day 240 on my Surgery date 20lbs down in the first week post op total lost 40lbs, but I have also hit a stall since week 3 I am trying to not worry I don't eat too much, but I am super worried that this is it for me

Hi has any of you hit a stall? I know it's annoying but I am very stressed out, it's been like 2 weeks I have not lost 1lb and I feel guilty like as if I was doing something wrong

I read in a forum where a Dr. There was no proof that drinking carbonated drinks really did stretch the pouch, of course is not a good thing to drink beer because is high in calories with no nutritional value, but just like anyone else without a sleeve if you drink too much carbonation you will burp it out

Idk if anyone here has been as bad as me but I'm 15 days post op, no vitamins at all yet, I tried crushing them once and threw them up, too scared to swallow the pill. I will try this week to swallow them again since I do feel a bit weak, has anyone have this issue?

1) 5'6 260lbs 2) 240lbs 3) 220lbs lost 20lbs 4) 40lbs lost woohoo! 5) short term goal of 198lbs 22lbs to go 6) not sore, no more itching on incisions, started soft foods 7) heartburn 8) my mom has been doing everything for me so I need to stop being sedentary and being active

I am taking prilosec. Ive gotten heartburn really badly a few times so I just take it every day until I start eating something besides clear liquids. Hoping when I add actual foods that it will tone down some. But things like crystal light that normally didn't give me heartburn have set my chest on fire lately. Thanks I took a Prilosec I had and it worked immediately

My doctor prescribed 40 mg of Protonix (pantoprazole) to take daily for 3 months. Kaiser prescribes this short-term for sleeve patients and forever for bypass patients. It's to help prevent heartburn/gerd. Thanks I have an appt tomorrow and will ask I also have Kaiser.

Hello I had surgery on 4/15 I started having some broth and it's giving me hearth burn Is anyone else taking any anti-acids?
