Hey everyone! My name is Christy and I am 24 yrs old. I live in the Pacific Northwest, I just had my sleeve this past Tuesday August 7, 2012. At the moment my doctor still has me on clear liquid so that means broth & jello lol. Because I am not on protein yet I have been feeling weak but that's ok, has anyone experience feeling weak right after surgery? Anyway my Facebook page is Christhee VSG, please feel free to add me! I am always up to meeting new friends.

Hi and welcome! I was weak and lightheaded too and it eas because I was dehydrated. I increased my fluids but my dr. Had me doing a clear protein (isopure) and that helped....but as always

Sorry....stupid iPad sen it early....anyhow as always check with your Dr.!

Thank you I didn't know there was a clear protein drink. Where can I find this drink? So how long have you had your sleeve?

I got the isopure at GNC...none of them taste great but the orange was the easiest to tolerate - I had to do one, 1oz sip every ten minutes. Tastes like Gatorade with absolutely no sweetener. I had my sleeve on July 15th, I'm on mushies and two weeks from solid foods. Double check with your Dr on the isopure as all Dr.s differ. Hope you feel better soon. Sip, sip, sip!

I bought the Isopure variety 12 pack from GNC on line. Since its see through and thin, it just goes down easier. I dilute mine with a bit of water and pour over ice.

welcome to the losers bench. I still have problems feeling weak and dizzy and it usually is because I don't eat enough and drink enough. Good luck with everything!

Congrats on getting your sleeve.

Oh yeah, the ice definitely helps! Lol

I've found that cutting the isopure with crystal light helped alot, and definitely over ice. I will help make sure you get both protein and liquids in.

Thanks Everyone

Welcome, I belive you will find this to be an awesome site for help. It is so great to know you are not alone in an adventure. And feeling week last about 5 or 6 weeks.

I didn't like any of them, but I just kept telling myself, it's just for one week - you can do this :-) and as mentioned before you can cut it with crystal light or G2 even...

I was sleeved on July 16th and I found that first week, with recovery and the clear liquid diet to be (by FAR) the hardest part, so hang in there's it's about to get easier. I used Isopure as well and kind of had to force it down, but it's good Protein source. Once you get to the shakes, it's easier.

hang in there!
