I was sleeved on 1/17/12 and I cant seem to get my Protein Shakes down... I can drink liquids fine and I have have tried everything under the sun... I started with a choc shake from muscle max, then Isopure from GNC (gross), then the vanilla shakes from costco (was ok at first)... How the heck can can I get Protein in??? I was thinking about trying an unflovered powder and geek yogurt with some fruit and make a smoothie...

try the EAS; they are not thick at all and they are the only ones I like now...

The EAS is very good, they are my go to when I don't feel like drinking a Protein Shake.< /p>

My NUT and Dr. scared me yesterday by saying If I dont get to eating and getting my nutrition in my body is going to go into starvation mode and then my metabolism will get more screwed up than it already is from all the previous yo-yo dieting I've done. I really didn't need 1 more thing to worry about :(. Has anyone else discussed the whole starvation thing with your dr?

I did this yesterday.

I also took 1/2 of a strawberry Protein Shake and added greek yogurt and blended for a smoothie and that came all right. It brought the sweetness of the shake down and the mellowed the tartness of the yogurt. I split it into two 'meals'. :)

Walmart has them and so does Shoprite. They are about $4.74 for a 4 pack. You can also get $1.00 off coupons at Thecouponclippers.com.

Sunday's paper, 1/22, had a $1.00 off coupon on any EAS product.

My doctor recommends the EAS AdvantEdge because they are only 100 calories, 3 carbs and 17gm of Protein. And...YUMMY.

Good Morning Sleevers! I can not believe that I was sleeved 6 days ago, I am a little lethargic at times but I contribute that to trying to do to much and only being on liquids..

I also have not found a Protein Drink that stays with me if you get my drift and I don't mean upchucking.. I have tried Chike, Isopure, Click... I have a bunch of Isopure I liked it in the beginning.. I am going to go back through them and systematically eliminate them, just in case it was a pre-op thing.. LOL though Chike is definitely out, I can't stand cold coffee therefore coffee flavors don't work for me.

Today is my last day on Full liquids then I get to have a pureed Diet, mashed potatoes never sounded so FANTASTIC.. LOL

haha, close ;)

I'm here! Just still trying to get a handle on everything. I was sleeved the 24th and I pretty much feel 100% fine now.

Eating is weird.. I have no idea how to tell if I'm full or not. (or what that even means now.)

I get gas, and burps a few times a day... but other than that, I'm good to go!

Wow! Your post-op goes fast compared to mine! Have you tried Premiere Protein? I don't know what i would have done preop without it! The Max Protein from SEI Nutrition is amazingly tasty too - neither is chalky or have an aftertaste. I'm still on Clear Liquids till tomorrow, then full liquids for a week, then mushies/purees for a week, then introduce soft, moist foods, then full foods at 5 weeks.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
