To me the Unjury medical grade protein is the best. That is what they sent me home with from the hospital and 13 months later I'm still drinking it .

Other Protein Alternatives
blackpowder72 replied to LaNelle's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I found I didn't like the protein water . I just stick with the Unjury protein and high protein meat . But everyone is different! -

Other Protein Alternatives
blackpowder72 replied to LaNelle's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 6 months out and down 85 lbs I can't believe it. I've told everyone I know about this protein powder. Unjury protein. In my opinion it's the best. They sent me home from the hospital with it. Mix with 8oz of milk. I drink one every morning sometimes if I'm not very hungry I will have one for supper. I love the vanilla and chocolate splendor. -

I've had gout for years. I take Tart cherry extract every day works like a charm .

I totally agree it's not enough. I wouldn't have enough energy to work at 300 a day. My doctor says 700 -800 first 6 months . I'm also heavy protein and very low fat and carbohydrates on that 700 - 800 calories. Not saying it will work for you but its working awesome for me so I'm sticking with it. I'm 2 1/2 months post op and down 50lbs .

Absolutely NO regrets!! Had my surgery June 7th down 50 lbs . Pretty unbelievable for me . 2 1/2 month's down 50lbs no way I could of did it by myself. I'm off my blood pressure medication, I've cut my diabetes medication by 75% . I'm back to normal energy wise , eating 700 - 800 calories a day , I'm losing on an average of 3lbs a week right now. To this point it's the best decision of my life .

Wow holy crap !! I thought I was doing good at 50lbs in 2 1/2 months but you look amazing!! -
I felt bloated. I didn't have any set times. The first 5 days it would take me all day to get my water down and protein shakes down. It gets better every day. I'm 7 weeks post op and now I can pretty much drink as much as I want.

Try the Unjury protein with 1% milk .

Six Months out, 113lbs down overall, 75 since surgery, a few questions:
blackpowder72 replied to FINFAN3DP's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I buy used work jeans on ebay . I have been buying just a couple at a time . Like you my old clothes are just hanging off me . -
For me absolutely wort it ! I just had my 6 week post op exam and I'm happy. I'm down 40lbs , my BMI is under 40 . I'm off my blood pressure medication and half of my diabetes medication. Can't wait to see what the next 6 weeks brings. For me there was no pain. I never took one pain pill. Worse part for me was the first week trying to get fluids down and the gas ! But as of right now it's the best decision I've probably ever made in my life.

Post Op Protein Liquids & Soup receives or ideas
blackpowder72 replied to Squidgy101's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not much help with the soup but I love the Unjury protein powder with milk. I found milk easy to drink the first couple weeks . I didn't really want any soup for a week and half but did the protein powder and beef broth. Just remember protein protein protein. -
Oh screw him lol. You have lost 21 lbs that's good. Everyone is different. To me it's a marathon not a sprint . You doing great. Just stick to your meal plan it will work. I'm 6 weeks and have lost 36 lbs. Everyone looses different. I lost 5 lbs one week and 3 lbs another and so on. I just keep telling myself that I'm eating 700 calories a day compared to 2500 or 3000 calories a day before the surgery.
