Awesome!!!!!!

Ok I got sleeved on Monday woohoo!!! All went well was discharged the next day but struggled a bit when I came home with pain and gas. My pain was when I would drink so I was only able to drink 2 cups of water and about 40 gms of protein shot...today the pain is a little better was taking my liquid Vicodin every 4 hours on schedule to get ontop of the pain...today I didn't need to and the gas has started to dissipate. Only had a bit of nausea not much, only up to 3 cups of fluids right now but if I only get in 4 cups today (the hottest day ever even for Cali) I am ok with that. Not too worried about protein today will try harder tomorrow for protein.

You should do some research if using the protein shots..I have heard a lot of nuts don't recommend them because the protein in it isn't that absorbable..so really its only like you are getting maybe 15 to 20 grams...plus the body can only process 20 grams at a time of protein..

I don't know where to start but in a few I will post my whole story. God bless[/quote']

What's a protien shot?

life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Protein shot is a concentrated forma of protein rangeing from 25-50gms of protein in 4oz fluid....my Nut recommends the shot especially in the first few days post op when getting any protein in is tough

Not sure about your research but the protein shot im drinking is made from whey isolate which is a highly absorbable form of protein...and as for ur body not being able to absorb much protein at a time....well it takes me the better part of 2 to 3 hrs sipping on the shot to consume it all...to each his own however u can get ur protein in

Awesome!!!!!!

Thank you :-)
