New Whey Protein Shot 42g Protein I thought WOW. It was like $2.50. The best thing I can say is that the bottle is shaped so it will go down fast. It tastes absolutely like £<¥*~. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.

Sleeved 7/2: Day 40 In a little stall. I've lost 45 pounds total, including my pre-surgery loss. I can eat virtually everything, but not much. The not much part keeps me from my Protein and Water goals. Need to up my protein and water. Problem is I can. I longer tolerate shakes. They make me yak. I'm getting better with protein since I've found Protein Bars, but the only issue is that I'm not sure which ones are good and which are crap. Any good protein bars without the carbs and calories people are eating?

Hey fellow sleevers. I just had my one month check up. I've lost a total of 43 and I'm stalled out. I can pretty much eat anything, but not much of it. I am a little discouraged with this stall. But we've all been there before.

Congratulations! It will be a little rough at first, but the best advice you could get would be to walk ASAP. It helped my recovery a lot I believe.

Are you getting your water in about 15 min before you eat? I know I was told that we can also prematurely flush food on through our sleeve with water and that's why we are supposed to drink a while before and a while after.

I have it all the time now. It's been going on for like a week. It's messed up my protein and water intake. Need to try some babybells!

Is anyone out there having horrible heartburn? I've rarely ever had it, but I'm at like week 3, and this is killing me!

I can't say I blame you. I don't have anything about this on Facebook, and I've been reluctant to join the group, and Facebook is not exactly private. I'm sure that could be argued for this site, but we are all in the same boat here unlike many on FB.

I'm with you on that. I'm tasting a few things here and there. I haven't weighed in a little over a week and am a little worried I may be overeating too. I think it's in our head. When I eat, it's so little really.

Ok kiddies. How many of you go through this? Last night I could not resist some of my mom's home made lasagna. I wasn't hungry, but I wanted to savor some flavor. I'm 3 weeks postop, and figured what the hell. Ok. A very small piece of lasagna, finely chewed, felt like a boulder. I wasn't in horrid pain, but there obviously wasn't enough room. It was like eating Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone's thanksgiving dinner.

Week 3 My date was 7/2. I'm wondering what some other folks from the first week of July are able to eat. I'm still prettying on liquids. I am having some Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. I haven't ventured past that. So what are you guys eating for your 3rd week that sits well?

Everyone is different. My date was 7/2 and I can eat about a cup, then I get full. My sleeve seems to empty fast. This is when I need to do better with water. I forget to drink water and eat. The shakes are the most filling things I get. This is the first day of week three.

I think it's different for all of us. I got where the Isopure made me so nauseous. That was the closest I came to getting sick. Tomato soup sounds good. Farthest I've ventured is the yogurt and cottage cheese. Good protein there. I'm glad you're doing better. I was sleeved on the 2nd. I have t weighed since Sunday, but had been losing a pound a day. Hope that trend keeps up

Hey there. Glad you are feeling better. Hope the nausea has gone. My first week after I had to choke down Isopure clear protein. They wanted me to get 40 grams of protein so that was like getting one down. I hated it. I would have died without the broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles. For week two I've gone to the milk based protein drinks. The Premier Protein has been good. I think they want me at like 60 grams of protein now. Two of those takes care of it. I've also had some Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. My mainstay has still been the broth and Popsicles. Get the best you can buy. It's worth it. Hope you continue to feel better.

Glad to hear from another July 2 sleever. Congratulations on your progress!
