I couldn't do the shakes either. I found Protein shots that have 26g of protein in the 2.9oz shot. They had orange flavor and fruit punch. I preferred the fruit punch. I found them at my grocery store in the section with the Ensure. Good luck.

When you can eat, try Protein bars. But please wait till you are cleared by your doctor.

hi there

checked your profile, don't know how far you are post-op.

if you are very new to the sleeve, Protein is not as important as liquids, Water, broth, SF popsicles -

push the drinking

i was dehydrated once, couldn't keep meds down, vomitted all that good stuff - had to go to hospital for an IV to get me hydrated again

protein will be added soon enough, now getting all your liquids in

can't emphasize enough - just keep on drinking

as far as loosing hair - i would rather be bald then ever be fat/overweight again

good luck

I don't know how to put this nicely so you're just gonna have to be mad at me.

Drink your Water. Don't even try Protein till you can get your water in. Chances are you ARE going to experience hair loss regardless, you are not getting enough Protein to make a difference now anyhow.

Also when you end up hospitalized due to dehydration they aren't going to pump you full of protein so you are gonna have a protein deficiency anyhow.

Additionally, you do know that the hair loss is not permanent right? And it tends to be more of a thinning than a "balding" loss.

I understand completely where you are coming from, I am one of he most self absorbed people you will ever meet. Vanity can be a M-Fer but we can't allow vanity to overcome our sense of self preservation.

Hope you don't stay mad at me too long.

My issue is I don't feel like I'm getting this right. I am almost two weeks out and i dont think ive hit my liquid goal once.I need to drink drink drink.

Also, UNJURY has an unflavored protien when your ready for food. You can add it to anything and it has no taste at all. I just open a package and sprinkle it on as much as I can. When you get to soft foods it goes great in applesauce. I am 4 months out, and have lost 70 lbs. I have always had very long hair. I had to cut it short 2 weeks ago. But it WILL come back!!!!

That is true, but it's sip sip sip!. My Dr told me up until 4 weeks dont worry about getting all the protien in, its more important to stay hydraded. You will get there...hang in

I have a whole bunch for sale if you need them, it's whey protein shots and I have all floors. Don't need them anymore.

Please look at the ingredients, if it says collagen or Gelatin it's garbage and that's exactly where they should go.

If it truly a whey protein shot I'd be happy to take them off your hands.

It says whey protein, casein protein isolate, complete protein matrix and other ingredients that don't seem as important

Great, must be one I haven't seen yet, what their name, and how much do you want for them?

It just says Whey Protein and I have 9 left. They were $3 each and I can ship them flat rate priority for about $5.75... So $32.75 and they are yours.
