I decided to start using up my unflavored Protein Powder. I mixed a banana yoplait yogurt, soy slender and a scoop of unflavored Protein powder together in my magic bullet.

I have never had a Protein shake fill me up as much as this one did. I can't even drink my Water

cause I am so full and I drank that hours ago.

I thought the yogurt by itself would need some liquid. Next time I will use less soy slender.

Dr. Aceves told me to stick with 3 meals a day of solid Protein to get used to living as a sleeved person and discouraged Protein Shakes. I don't get in 60-70 grams of protein but I had blood work done today and all is good.

I like to drink a Protein drink for Breakfast. I don't like eggs or any of the Breakfast foods. It's way easier for me to drink a Protein Drink for breakfast and at least I know I am starting the day with 20 grams of Protein.

I think Dr. Aceves has his opinion but my band doctor who also does a lot of RNY's and is starting to do sleeves for people who are requesting a sleeve encourages people to drink at least one Protein Drink per day and I respect his opinion just as much as I respect Dr. Aceves.

My surgeon also suggests people use Protein Shakes so that they can be freer to try other things -- like veggies -- at meals. I have one pretty much every day for Breakfast and he thinks that's great.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
