Is that a powder? Pill? I regret getting the Protein Shots now they are decorating my fridge. Smh, I brought 3 kinds so I'll at least try them but no luck so far. I'm looking for something that will give me the most Protein, with the least amount volume.

the myoplex is powder form or liquid both are good, i like the chocolate. Just to get extra Calcium i add it to silk soy milk and its really good. It is low in calories too ;) only 150 cals for two scoops of the powder. Also Pure Protein in the cans at the Vitamin Shoppe are good too. Avoid the muscle milk omg it is NASTY..... i suggest getting Biotin pills also for your hair you will be losing some. I lost ALOT ;( it is part of the side affects of the "malnutrition" we sleevers get. When did you have your surgery? I had mine in December on the 28th and im down 75lbs woot woot!!! lol long way to go but we can do it together.

btw my protien bullets are decorating my fridge also ugh they are soooooooo nasty they should be outlawed. Make sure you get your Water in though so you dont hurt your kidneys with all the protien. Hope this helps you.

Try freezing your Protein Shake. Maybe if you eat it like ice cream, it will go down smoother.

It is rough the first few weeks i ate a ton of sugar free popscicles and when i made it to full liqiuds i made really runny mashed potatoes and lived off that for a week or two and it was so good. I will never eat Jello ever again. Just hang in there it will get better. DONT over due it your eyes will be bigger than your stomach from now on over eating is misery.

Omg, i'm so paranoid of coughing, sneezing, and most of all barfing. So I normally take my liquids 2-4 Oz at a time. I've been doing the sugar free pops, shakes and Protein Shots along with liquids ie crystal light and Water. I've only just looked up what I could eat and found I had more more of a variety than I thought. I'm gonna try some thinned Soups maybe some cream of wheat thinned, and plain yogurt (something that doesn't just run thou me ). Hopefully that holds me until my puree stage I hope ...(man do I miss my sea food lol)

Protein Shots aren't good for you. Most of them are made with collagen as the Protein source, and collagen is not available to our bodies. So, you're forcing the nasty protein shot down and not getting any benefit from it. Wheetsin made an excellent post a few days ago about protein shots that I recommend for anyone who is considering taking them.

What about chicken broth? ? Unjury makes a Protein chicken broth that has 21g per scoop.Tastes pretty good too. I also brought their unflavored protein(20g per coop) which u can mix it into your crystal light/applesauce ect.

runny mashed potatoes lol was so good after not eating for weeks. But i agree Protein is tough but remember to drink lots of Water more protien and less water will damage your kidneys. Im not sure why my Dr hasnt asked me to come in for lab test etc but i just went in to my PCP and had kidney functions etc done to make sure all is good and for the first time in my life im slightly dehydrated so please make sure you keep an eye out on those kidneys :)

@Madison PA

I was reading up on unjury the other day but I don't know where I can find it. I'd be interested in buying some but don't know where to go.

PS, i'm also in PA :)

@IrishqN - I try to keep up with my liquids, because of the fear that something may go array with my kidneys...so def will do :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
