What would you suggest for unflavored protein powder for newly sleeved people imstead of Genepro? Im getting sleeved on Friday and now have no problem with Premier, but worried because so many people say their tastes have changed. I like being prepared.

Our bodies have enough calories stored. If youre only allowed liquids, you can try Fairlife milk to add calories, it also has a good amount of protein. What about some broth. If you want something other than liquids, eat sf popsicles, at least its not just liquid, but is considered fluids.

fairlife milk, crystal lite

A layover is just a stop at another airport, sometimes you may have a 2hr wait until your next flight leaves. Really not a big deal, pretty common for flights to have layovers.

Congrats, itll be here before you know it Im going in next Friday 3/31

Have you tried cottage cheese or sf puddings?

Congratulations!!!

Im having VSG and Flintstone Chewables were recommended by my nut

Try fairlife milk, it tastes pretty good and has a great amount of protein in it.

My surgeon said 15 lbs for 1st 6 weeks

My practice suggested Flintstones Children chewables with iron. They did stress absolutely no gummy vitamins.

Congrats, walk, walk, walk

They told me a 10lb gain that will come off in a week or two

Wow, congrats, keep it up looking good!!!

I started my journey at 242 im 5'6", doc gave me a printout that said I had 102 lbs of excess weight to lose He also said Id only lose about 60 lbs in the first year. Ideally he,said the sleeve would help me lose 60-70% of my excess weight. Im thinking the goal they gave you is losing 60% of your excess weight. My surgeon never gave me a goal weight and when he asked me my goal, I truly had no idea as I havent been under 200 in over 25 years, so I have no idea how ill look at what weight.

I kmow where you are coming from. In the last week I think I have ate every sub, pizza, and favorite food I have as my surgery is next Friday. Some may say Im not ready, but I am. I kust know in 5 days I will not be eating even a bite of some of these foods for years, so Im getting them all in now. Not to say Im gorging on th, but just having a piece or bite of all my favorites. Only you know if you are ready. I would just say be careful if you need to lose a certain amount before surgery, many of our old favorites are really bad for us.

Congrats, keep walking they say it helps with pain and the gas

Congrats, I'm next Friday, so excited and anxious. Coumting the days down

I also went to my last appt yesterday (getting sleeved 3/31) and they told me although we would love you to get 64 oz. in, it normally doesnt happen, but that 48 oz. is a must.

Congratulations!!!! It will make it so much easier for you to move around and exercise with it gone

You can drink it room temperature also, just tastes like warm flavored milk. Definitely better cold, but if your body cant handle it cold, deink it at room temp. Its all about getting in your protein right now

No, it shouldnt, i also have a Vitamin D definciency and low B12 and I was approved a few weeks ago.

Im still preop, scheduled for 3/31, but I have my diet for the first 2 months already. From 2 days postop i can have yogurt, puddings, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese up until my 2 week appt. I also can have my Protein shakes, broth, crystal light, sugar free popsicles, etc..

What did your surgeon or nut tell you?
