Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

I am 10 days post op and I can't get my Protein in at all.....I'm still on clears so I have to do the shakes and I've tried 5 different kinds/flavors with different ways and they make me sooooo sick..

Have you tried the Isopure clear? It's like Gatorade but not quite as yummy. 40g of protein per bottle.

I'm in the same boat. I had my wls on 8/27 and haven't gotten any protein drinks down. They are all so gross, even the flavorless ones. I've been living on sf popsicles. Don't know what to do...

Where do the sale it?

You can get the Isopure clear at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. They have many different flavors. I like the apple melon the best. Another thing I just tried are called: New whey liquid Protein. They are sold at Walmart in the fitness/diet area (near the pharmacy). They are in oversized white test tube looking things - 42 grams of protein - its only 3.8 oz, but its kinda thick, so I dilute it in a bottle of Water. Again, more like a weird Gatorade type drink. I just couldn't drink anymore choc shakes and these 2 things have really helped.

congrats everybody

I was sleeved August 12. Sooo sick of Protein shakes, like everyone else. I am getting the protein in every day, though. Being able to eat food really helps so I only have to choke down one Protein Drink a day. Just tried Isopure grape and I think I can get this down. As others have said, like a weird Gatorade BUT it's not a gross imitation of a chocolate milkshake LOL. Tried sashimi for dinner and it was great! Could only get down about 2 oz., but having real food is so nice now, even if it is a tiny amount. My son says I eat like an ant. Teehee. I eat mostly cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Beans, cheese, and a cup of nonfat milk every couple of days. Gonna try hemp seed protein next. Not doing so well with exercise but hopefully now that I'm feeling better I can get that going.
