Hello Dec 19 sleevers,

How are you doing? I am a bit disappointed at my progress. I have just a 4pound lost this week and I just can't comprehend that sooo early on. I have not cheated and am doing exercise about 5x a week. I must say I don't think I meet my liquids requirements and Protein. My surgeon requires liquid Protein shots that taste HORRENDOUS and I gag every time I take it, so scared of vomiting I haven't taken them. I am going to try Isopure starting today. Do you think that my slow weight lost has to do with the no protein? I would hope not. If so, I might start thinking I could have just started Atkins.......

Hi, Congratulations on the 'no cheating', I know it's not easy! I was sleeved on the 19th too, and I'm also having difficulty getting protien shakes down. I can start with eggs, cottage cheese on the 5th, and I'm really looking forward to a way to get some protien not in a shake! I don't have any suggestions for your weight loss, but I'd check with my surgeon or nurse...maybe they have seen this and have some ideas. Either way, we are in it for the long haul, and while a quick loss can be rewarding, eventually it HAS to come off if we continue to eat fewer calories, right? Keep up the good work!
