Hey guys' date=' my Dr says clear liquids for first two seems after surgery. How am i suppose to get my Protein in[/quote']

Try unflavored Protein in broth or unjury chicken Soup protein.

You can also try Isopure zero carb clear drinks. A 20 oz bottle has 40g of protein. I have a couple of bottles that I haven't tried yet. Most people are not fond of it, but you can dilute it with Water and maybe add some crystal light.

I had mine on July 10. Its been fantastic!! Minimal pain. My experience has been picture perfect so far *knocks on wood*. I haven't been nauseous or have vomited, yet. I'm going that continues! I don't know how much I have lost but I know that I have. I am wearing pants that I clothes not get over my hips last week. I don't drink broth. My energy level its of the charts. I'm not sure of its mental or not. My only issue is sleep. Is been fleeting. But its been fantastic! I'm eager to start the next phase!

Mine was the 11th. What I do for Protein is Isopure the mix. 1 scoop mixed with 6 oz Water is 25 grams of protein so I do three a day. You can get it at GNC or Vitamin store. The ready mixed ones are expensive why I did the powder. The fruit punch flavor is good.

Got my sleeve done on Monday. came home from the hospital today and already 7 lbs down since Monday! Not too much pain but I have some good meds. I also take med for nausea which I really need. Overall I'm doing Ok, trying to get my fluids in, afraid of getting dehydrated.

Congrats! I hope it continues that way for you. I had mine on the 10 th also. I had an awful amount of nausea and dry heaves for the first 36 hours, after that it's been all uphill. I went back to work yesterday and am a little tired, but otherwise all good!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
