Have you tried Syntrax Necture? I get it from Amazon and when I have days when I don't feel like eating (which isnt often now), I make sure I get my Protein in with this. I have tried a few flavours but only really like the grape. I make a huge glass of it and use a full scoop which makes it 24g of Protein. I also have protein latte, which I have every morning, winter and summer and thats lovely too.
Once you start on the next stage it will be so much easier. Don't rush though, listen to your body.
Hope you feel better soon

I had surgery 12/22 and up until last week, I was crying everyday because of the fatigue and limitations my body has. I've been increasing my workout this past week and that seems to help. I've also only recently been able to meet my Water and Protein goals so that has probably helped too. I'm still having issues with eating too much or too quickly, but that's just a learning curve that I need to figure out. Everyday gets better. Maybe keep a journal of your feelings and symptoms so that a week from now you can see your improvement.

As someone that is now 5 days out from surgery, and therefore much more experienced than you (ha ha!) I am guessing it will be several months before I feel "safe." Meaning, no longer worried everyday that some complication is right around the corner. I have not had a difficult recovery so far at all, I just worried that my age would possibly hinder my recovery but so far so good. I think we would do ourselves a favor to relax a bit and not look for trouble!
I think it is natural that something this life changing will be consuming our very being for quite some time.

I hit my one month surgiversary yesterday. I feel more and more normal every day. You will get there. Just keep following your plan! It takes time.

First, congratulations on your surgery!
It sounds like you are doing great on getting your liquids and Protein... and those are so important.
While you are on the liquids stage you won't be able to get too many more calories than what you are already getting. The only suggestions I have are to drink a little more Protein shake if you want to up the calories, and the extra Protein is good for you. You can also use an unflavored Protein powder like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury... it's great. You can mix it in cold no calorie drinks like Decaf tea, Powerade zero, crystal light. You can also mix it in chicken or beef broth, just be sure not to get the temperature too hot or it can leave protein clumps in your broth.< /p>

139.5LBS down in 10 months, 10.2LBS shy from my goal weight. I am so grateful and proud of me! ❤️

I use GENEPRO its unflavored medical grade Protein 30grm per scoop. Mix it into whatever beverage you like. It also blends well with hot liquids, I put it in my broth. You can get it on Amazon.

It can be tricky. Things you liked pre-op might taste weird or not sit well post-op. You might have to take a trip to somewhere like GNC or VitaminShoppe and get some sample packets and just try a bunch of brands and flavors. Just make sure that anything you get is low carb and low in saturated fat.

I was nervous out of my mind and i was about to pull everything off and walk out but my surgeon ordered something to calm my nerves and the rest is awesome im such a healthier mom to my 4yr old

Wow! You look amazing... How have you been adjusting to the new diet? My surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday 1/18. I must admit I'm a little scared

Yeah, I weighed a pound more!

You lost 90 lbs! ???????????????????? That is amazing! Congratulate yourself! You still have a month to go. I suggest checking your carb intake and if that is good try increasing your exercise and Water intake. But 90 lbs is still no small feat!????????????????

Your body adapts. especially after such a deficit for so long. We have to change it up.
1) Increase or change up type of exercise
2) Adjust carbs/calories so the body responds. Not always lower, but cycle a little up and down does help.
3) After making changes, give it a couple weeks to see if changes helped.
The scale should not be the only measure of progress, but body measurements and body levels fat is.
Remember staying at the same weight is not a failure. Gaining fat is.
I recently just broke a 1 month stall (Based on the scale) but did lose some inches and at least that helped break the mental crap the scale alone can cause.

BariatricPal Members,
I wanted to remind you all about BariatricPal’s purpose and policies. If you do not want to read this entire post, please at least read the following points!
BariatricPal is a safe place for the weight loss surgery community. No rudeness or disrespect will be permitted. Your use of BariatricPal implies your acceptance of the Forum Rules. Failure to follow the Forum Rules can lead to consequences included lifetime bans from BariatricPal. Now for the complete version:
I created BariatricPal in 2003 to help other bariatric surgery patients. I want the forums to be able to help everyone reach their weight loss surgery and health goals. My goal is to maintain the forums as a place for weight loss surgery patients and potential patients to come for information and support.
BariatricPal is intended to be a safe place for the entire weight loss surgery community. I want EVERY SINGLE MEMBER to feel welcome on this board. You should feel comfortable asking questions, expressing doubts, and sharing advice, insights, and experiences.
Unfortunately, this has not been the case recently. I have heard from multiple sources that some members are uncomfortable here. They feel attacked when they post. I have heard this not only from newbie and veteran members, but also from bariatric surgeons, nurses, and psychologists who are members of ASMBS and who have heard concerns about BariatricPal from their patients.
A tiny minority of BariatricPal members are responsible for creating these concerns. The vast majority of BariatricPal members have wonderful, helpful, positive, and informative posts. I thank you for that. You are responsible for BariatricPal’s success.
A few of you, I suspect, truly want to help, but may come off sounding a little harsher than you meant. This can be off-putting to members who have sincere questions and are looking for guidance. To prevent accidentally hurting other members, I urge you to re-read the Forum Rules for suggestions on making your posts helpful rather than hurtful.
There is a tiny minority of BariatricPal members who have gone far beyond the occasional misconstrued post. It is these members who have prevented the forums from being a safe place for everyone. They repeatedly and intentionally start threads or respond to members with disparaging or rude remarks. They often imply or state outright that they are correct and that other posters are doomed to fail. They send private messages urging their friends to bully other members who disagree with them. This does not create a safe space for members!
Anyone who violates the Forum Rules is subject to consequences, include being permanently banned from BariatricPal.
The Forum Rules state, “All members have the right to express their opinions and are encouraged to do so while maintaining a courteous tone.” Disagreeing with someone and expressing yourself politely to say so is one thing. Intentionally hurting others is quite another. If you are unsure of how to respond to a post without being rude, please refer to the Forum Rules for examples and guidelines.
Again, I thank the overwhelming majority of BariatricPal members who are just trying to help, and who have done a wonderful job of lending a hand or ear to those who need it. I hope you all recognize the value you each bring to the boards, and you consider how you can contribute in the most constructive way possible.
Thank you!

It's been one year today since I had my sleeve done. My life has changed in every aspect.
My start weight was 333.1lbs
My weight this morning was 137.8lbs
That's a total loss of 195.3lbs!!
I've also lost a total of 95 inches...I'm a size 6 now...used to be a size 30.
I have accomplished this by being very focused and strict with my eating and exercise.
I eat very low carb, and always get in my Protein, Vitamins and Water every day.
For all of you just starting out, just know that anything is possible, and if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything!!
