You can drink milk blended with a raw egg. This is called an egg flip I believe. If raw eggs freak you out, buy pasteurized eggs or try egg powder. With a little sweetener and nutmeg, it's pretty tasty and not eggy. A cup of milk has 8 gr of Protein, the egg 6. Theoretically you could just drink A LOT of milk or eat lots of yogurt. The carb count is a little high but that may or may not be a problem for you.

I'm not a medical professional but I think the Protein is more important than worrying about saturated fat at this point. We have to eat protein to keep our bodies from using our own muscles (including our heart) for energy. Our bodies can use fats for fuel but we also need some essential amino acids and if we aren't getting those from food, we'll lose more lean muscle mass. Saturated fat may not be good for us in the long term, but I trust you won'rt be eating the Protein Bars forever. They could be a temporary thing that you use until you can get your protein in from food.< /p>

I am about 6 weeks out and there is no way I could eat enough protein to get at least 50 grams a day. I drink 2 Protein shakes a day.

Have you tried any of the BariWise products? They have bars that are 190cal low fat with 15g of Protein.< /p>

Also it is very rare for a non surgical "normal" person to have trouble not getting enough Protein.< /p>

Try dymatized elite thay dont really have that mediciny protied taste and there is alos Isopure RTD thay are okay and come in small bottles so you dont have to spend a ton on a tub. Also before you buy any more powders get samples before the tubs even if you have to pay for the samples it is still way cheaper.

I just placed my order too!! Can't wait!! Yes, I am very happy with my sleeve. Every now and again I get on a bandwagon but I know that this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. When others things in your life are not going well -- it is hard but I think this is the best decision I made in a long time....

I liked the one Protein nectar I tried, so I will call and get my samples today. The name of the company kind of creeps me out though. I feel like I'm ordering from Anthrax!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
