    Hours away

    I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I'll definitely try some of the options you've suggested
  2. Does anyone have kidney pain after drinking so many protein shakes? Ive tried different brands and get the same pain. Thanks!
  3. A high protein diet can be hard on the kidneys. Check with your doctor. I don't have any symptoms except for a very high ammonia content in my urine. Sorry if TMI, but it's something to be aware of.

    Kidney Pain With Protein Shakes?

    Sounds to me like you have some kidney stones. High Protein,high Calcium, & high sugar diets are known to cause kidney stones. We are all pretty much fit squarely into these categories. Sugar & calcium before surgery, protein & calcium after. There are many natural treatments out there for this from apple cider vinegar, to olive oil & lemon juice. Or your doctor can laser them to break them up and make them passable(OUCH!)

    Pre-op sleeve newbie

    Yes I lost 145 on my own before I even saw the surgeon. I did it with1 year on Weight Watchers and 1 year on Nutrisystem. When I saw the surgeon he wanted me on a 6 month High Protein, low carb diet and I lost another 38 pounds and was finally able to have my sleeve at 314. However I was not diabetic

    Protein

    I drink those. It really doesn't have many calories at all. 160 for the whole bottle and zero carb as well. I think this is the best Protein drink. They handed it to me when I left the hospital, plus it is a clear protein so you can drink it even when you are sick, or going in for a check up or fill. I get a variety case of 12 bottles from GNC for $50. If anyone knows a cheaper way to get them, that would be cool.

    Cocotien

    I can't find the post now but someone was just talking about buying cocotien for their protein intake. Has anyone tried this? Does it taste like isopure (because BLEH!!!!)? Had never heard of it til now and just curious what others experience was.

    Hungry!

    I was allowed my protein drinks during the clear liquid phase. I would have my protein shakes, clear broths, SF Popsicles, water. I was allowed jello but I didn't have during that phase. I returned home from the hospital four days after surgery so I only had four days to deal with clear liquids. Each phase gets easier. Just keep telling yourself..."I am healing. I am healing." You can do it!!
  9. I am dreading the pre-op diet which for me starts Jan. 25th. My doctor requires it to lessen the fatty liver that we obese people can have which makes the surgery more difficult (at least that's what I was told). The protein shakes are from the surgeon's office, they have only 122 cals. when made with water (which is what we have to do pre-op; post -op is with skim milk) x 2, then a small meal of 4 oz. chicken, turkey or fish, and green vegetables- nothing else. Yikes- that will be maybe 600 cals. daily. I'm on 1200 cals daily since Monday and that is going pretty well- I've dropped 3.9 lbs already. Today I brought all my junk food over to my daughter's house- cookies, candy, graham crackers, brownies, etc. Better to have no temptations. It's the first time I have ever done this.....hope I can stick it out!

    New senior member just saying Hi

    Hi, Thanks for posting! I'm 95% sure I'll be getting the band. Now my biggest decision is what doc. The one I picked is fabulous but I don't like his support staff, especially the PA, who will be doing the fills. I definitely don't want to have to interact with her ever again, much less very often. Congrats on your weight loss! It's hard work, but definitely work it. I've been dropping pounds consistently since I began my own serious effort to lose weight. Dropped 21 lbs. so far in the past 60 days, 12 "officially" in the past 30 days on my medically supervised diet. I have a lot of info on Protein Drinks, in fact 73 recipes. Lemme know if you want.

    Preop Diet

    As long as I got enough protein, I find protein drinks are good. When I was doing my pseudo liquid diet (two shakes, one protein bar, two Greek yogurts a day) I was getting over 80g of protein daily. I was not super hungry.
  12. I heard that jimmy johns have a 'unwich' option on there menu is that true?

    Diet before surgery

    My pre-op diet is liquids (at least 90 grams protein) of course and 2 cups veggies or fruits. Oh, and all the SF Jello I can stomach.
  14. Yup....bandster hell. Hang in there, because it will be better when you can eat more substantial food. High protein foods helped me feel more satisfied. You'll eventually get there, but until you do, just take it one day / hour / minute (lol) at a time and hang in there!! You can do it!

    MARC ZARE PEOPLE UNITE :D

    I think the first thing you need to do is not go forward with the thinking that you will never have a certain food again! Yes we have to change our ways after surgery but I am able to eat a little bit of anything! I don't normally, but if there is a special occasion or meal I can have a treat sometimes. As far as the food funerals??? When I knew I had a date I went to the store before my pre op and picked up a pint of some kind of ice cream (can't even remember the flavor how sad) went home and ate half of it that night and finished it the next day.. After I ate it?? Nothing, it was just gone it didn't feel special it didn't make me feel better, in fact it did nothing for me except make me feel crappier about myself. And added to the weight I needed to lose.. Fast forward to today, I can eat normal again so if I wanted a bit of ice cream I could. So I guess what I'm saying is don't sabotage yourself with thoughts of "I need to eat this now because I can never have it again" Oh the pre op diet Zare will take care of that for you and provide the shakes, it's two weeks I think? You will go through all of the stages of food after that he has spelled out for you. Now I'm on all foods but I eat a lot different than I used too. Mostly Protein and veggies. No more rice bread and Pasta..
  16. Hey! I bet you're nervous and excited huh? I know I am... this diet is kicking my butt! I ended up "cheating" somewhat yesterday, although my doctor said that the first week of the diet I can supplement with a high protein/low carb/fat meal here and there. I still felt guilty and it didn't taste good.
  17. The biggest thing I can recommend is to find protein drinks for post surgery. I can not stand the whey protein drinks they make me ill. You have to get the protein in so this can be a big deal. Recommend Pro Joe coffee drinks I dont know how I made it with out them:)

    Ugh!

    I have found that my sleeve will NOT tolerate anything sweet. I made stir fry last night and had it over spaghetti squash. It promptly made a reappearance approx 10 min after I ate it. Tried dipping my pork chop in ketchup tonight just to give it a little extra moisture and it made my stomach hurt. The only vegetable I've been able to eat is english peas, but I tolerate most meats just fine as long as they are plain. I'm never hungry so if I'm going to eat I prefer Protein over anything else. I feel like I need to be adding more veggies and fruit but I just don't want it. Anyone else feeling this way?

    Travel

    Yes, I travel overseas most of the year (I'm only in the US 3 months during the year). I bring in my luggage or have my preferred protein powder shipped. Other than post-workout shakes I get the rest of my nutrition from regular food.
  20. Hi Faith, I haven't had my surgery yet but I have been to Cancun. It is beautiful! I see you sipping Protein shakes on your patio as you recover! Looking out over the blue ocean. I wish you had someone to share it with you though. Best of luck to you! Dee

    Muscle Mass

    I have lost over 160 pounds since having surgery in December of 2012, I do have skin issues, but by making sure I get enough protein in and by doing strength training in the gym as much as possible I have not only not lost any muscle mass but feel that I have built muscle. I am a paramedic by profession and as such need to be able to lift and move people with ease so this was very important to me, but by remaining focused it has worked out well for me. Good Luck.

    Energy

    I've seen this question before so it's probably in the archives but my energy level is incredibly low. I've been getting my protein in more than ever before as well as fluids and still...falling flat in the energy dept. How long does this last until some fashion of normalcy kicks in?
  23. Prob depends on how strict your Dr. is. i have been told that my Dr. is VERY strict. we even have to take a test prior to surgery on all we have learned, and post op requirements. I would do protein and shakes the rest of the week, and water..Good luck:)
  24. It's very early in the morning of day three and I am so glad to begin feeling human again. I'm experiencing minimal gas and side pain and making sure that I balance rest with walking. I'm have the most difficulty remembering to sip! Per my Doc's orders, I will begin introducing Protein shakes today and hope for the best. I do hope all my fellow 9/7 Sleevers are doing well. Have a blessed day everyone.
