Hey fellow June sleevers! Just updating here. I'm 12 days post op. Down 15 pounds since day of surgery, and 11 pounds away from onederland! I haven't been there in about 10 years and I'm looking forward to it. Best of luck to all my June peeps!

I had my surgery on the 12th and I am having the same problem. ..... I wemr out today and got the 6pack of the Isopure no carb no sugar. Which is only 15grms but its better than nothing. I drank a bottle and took two bottles and made ices pops. Do give up' date=' lets pray it gets soon.[/quote']

I know all my hair is gonna fall out bc I can't drink the Protein either. Not even Isopure. Everything is gross & gets hot too fast. I'm in big trouble here. ????

I'd love to part of this. I just got laid off; so I'm taking the entire month of June "stress free". I was sleeved on the 24th.

As June comes to a close, let's say congratulations once more to all of us. We have all taken a big step this month, one that took a lot of courage and preparation. Raise your Protein shakes...may all of our futures be brighter and healthier. Let's hit it!

I'm in week three of postop, my nutritionist wants me to eat 100 g of Protein a day, yikes! I'm barely eating 60 g as it is today. I have some reduced fat Peanut Butter and was wondering it's only 5 g of sugar but 7 g of protein is this unacceptable?

well tomorrow morning it will be one week since sleeved. I am doing ok, have gone out seen 2 movies, grocery shopped - don't have a full days energy but its growing. I know i am not at 64 oz of liquid yet, but getting there. I start each day with a 5.5 oz can of V8, then 4-5 oz of HEB Mootopia Milk (lactose free/protein enhanced). then I have some low sugar grape juice - will have some Water - though Water seems harsher. I will have some SF Jello and One SF Popsicle - then for dinner about 5 oz of a cream Soup (last night added 2 partial spoons of KFC gravy). then froze some of the choc. mootopia for a freezer snack - after todays movie I drank some Muscle Milk - banana Cream - it is at least lactose free and tastes ok, tried almond milk as well.

I see many drs' say week 2 is pureed , but my dr still says clear liquid - so i will stick to that for awhile.

So the only things i have to work through are getting more liquids in, and more Proteins - am confident it will happen.

I seem to burp/belch a bit less today, but wish i was not doing that at all

No problems with BM (each day so far suprisingly)

Down 30 lbs since i started and 16 lbs since surgery

I think the sugar in Peanut Butter is fine, personally. Is peanut butter thin enough consistency though? Have you read about that PB2 stuff? Has like 45 calories instead of 180-210 like regular pb

What PB2?

Never heard of PB2 but the consistency is ok if I take it slow. My stony field Greek yogurt has 15 g of sugar and 13 g of Protein so I figured it couldn't be any worse. Lol

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
