I buy the 11.5oz cans by the case from Sams. I liked it before and like it now. Usually take a can to work with me and drink it throughout the morning.

I had a V8 around 7 or 8 weeks post op and it was fine. I sipped slowly and only drank about 1/3 but I had no problems with it.

Great - thanks! It doesn't hurt or make you feel overly "full"?

No problems when I drank it. I also like V8 fusion lite and V8 Splash diet for a juice that is low calorie. I had unflavored Protein Powder to the fruit juice varieties and that is good.

Hopefully it's ok (I'm 2 weeks tomorrow) I tried it a week ago and it seemed like it might have been a little to spicy but I have been drinking a 5 oz can everyday since. It's only 30 cal and it makes me feel like I'm eating. For me it goes right down no resistance.

V8 is a pretty good choice for the fruit and veggie servings. However, keep an eye on the sodium.

I'm about 2 weeks post sleeve and had my first V8 Low Sodium today. It's taken me almost 2 hours to drink 12 oz. I guess it's due to the consistency, but it's annoying. Hopefully as time passes it will get easier, because I love V8.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
