Hi folks! I'm Krista. I'm 37 years old and teach 6th grade English Language Arts. I am 5 days out from gastric sleeve surgery; I can't wait to feel "normal" again, but, other than that I'm excited for my new life to begin. I can't wait to use this site to trace my journey and find some kindred spirits!

How do you all get all of your protein in? I try, but I'm still on full liquids and I get so full I can't stand it. Any suggestions?

I drink 8 oz Protein shake which contributes toward my daily consumtion. You just have to drink one or two of those a day on top of your Water, I also drink Isopure which has protein. It's hard but possible.

Welcome to those of your posting post op. I'm about 2 weeks out and doing good. Glad you are here and hope to read about your journey.

Sorry my post went on here so many times. I appreciate the advice. I just get so full on those shakes and I'm having a hard time finding the isopure, I guess I'll look online. Tomorrows a new day right?

I do two things: 1, I eat Greek Yogurt...I usually buy it plain and mix a flavor in....Greek yogurt has about 13-15 grams of Protein per serving. 2, I fill a 24 ounce mixer cup with Water, a flavor packet like crystal light, one packet of sugar sub, and then two scoops of plain Protein powder. I keep this with me all the time; my schedule is to eat some sort of thick or dairy based "drink" during one hour and a water based in the next, so...every other hour I drink 4 oz of my water mix. By the end of the day, that gives me 43 protein on top of whatever else I have had...Hope this helps.

I get my protein from the GNC website...

That's right. Also once your able to eat yogurt I have a tip: Get the greek non fat yogurt (nasty plain), add strawberry (extract) (or whatever flavor you prefer and splenda to taste, stir well, taste just like regular yogurt with lots of Protein.
