Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Wow amazing I too was sleeved on 6/24 I'm having an issue with some food I have not been on a scale either I can see I'm losing inches but I'm having issues finding food any suggestions?

I went to my hospital support group and someone told me about putting protein powder into sf pudding. It's good and its really increased my protein total. I was sleeved 6/25/13 and wasn't losing like I thought I should be and since I increased my protein I've started losing

How much powder do you put into the pudding? How much pudding do you eat a day? Thanks! I am having trouble getting my protein in too, the shakes are horrible. They were ok the first two weeks but I am so over them. I didn't have to do a preop protein shake diet but I can't imagine having had to do that then afterwards too! I orders some Nectar and I'm gonna try that and hope I like it!

When I did the sf pudding, I put one scoop of the protein powder in. One scoop is only 10 grams of protein. I guess I could had put more, but was a fraid of tasting the powder. I can't stand the smell of it. Good luck.

Hi! If I'm having just an ounce if Greek yogurt I throw in just a tsp. Of unflavored protein powder. Same with cottage cheese and other things like that. It doesn't add a ton of protein each time but during a whole day it helps me get my protein in. I don't like gritty....so for me I just started out with a half tsp....saw it wasn't bad...then added another half....I actually like the isopure unflavored protein powder. Many do not...but I mix mine with skim milk. And add an once of toscana sf syrups to give it a different flavor each time.....I try to start my day with the shake and it normally takes me till lunch to drink the 12 oz. But that gets me my first 60 in for protein...then for lunch I have Greek yogurt...that has 13 grams of protein per 5 oz, plus I add the protein powder that (for 5 oz I usually put a tsp per oz). So that gets me a little more protein....then for dinner usually chicken....and safe my sf pudding for my dessert, but still add a tsp per oz of protein to that too. It becomes a game with me....how can I sneak my protein in with this? I am having a hard time with liquids...working so hard on the protein...always full....gotta wait to drink.....a vicious cycle! I was sleeved on June 24th and down 23 pounds. My Dr told me I most likely will not lose much between weeks 3 and 6 because thus is about the time body says hey wait....is this just another diet or is she really making good choices? We've treated our bodies to so many yoyo eating habits....doesn't know the stomach is not the same etc.... I thought that was a great way to put it! Sorry for the book!

So far I can comfortably eat soft scrambled eggs/egg whites, cottage cheese, dark meat chicken or chicken salad, meatballs...but my problem is I'm still not getting enough protein in... I'm just not hungry and honestly I think I'm afraid of eating more and gaining my pre surgery appetite back. What are you eating?
