December 2013 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

Is anyone drinking the Isopure clear drinks? I got some last night because they were on sale. They have 40 grams of Protein so I got a few. If you are, which flavors did you like?

Been drinking them since I started pre-op meal plan. My favorite is pineapple-banana, but I usually dilute in about 40 0z of Water when I do drink them...not crazy about the taste of most of them though..but I will endure through it. I prefer the premier shakes but today I made my own, strawberry banana Protein mix and 8 oz of non fat milk ...it was delish.

I had the red punch today, not too bad. I bought grape today, I hope I like it.

Ok so add Water, thank you! And I got two of the punch ones (they were the ones on sale) and then one green one and and blue one. Sorry I don't know their names. Hope they are good. I also got some PB2 today. Hoping to add it to my vanilla Protein powder and it be tasty.

Yeah I found if I dilute the large bottles I can tolerate taste better. There is a lemonade flavor that mixes well with crystal light rasberry/lemonade powder and water. Very tasty. The grape isn't that bad, don't care for the fruit punch (not my thing in any drink anyway), the blue one is good and the green is like an apple.. I mixed that one with water, a apple Protein shot and a bit of crystal light lemonade. It was good.

You didn't do any damage with that Salmon, it's actually very good for you and will not store any added junk to the liver which generally why they have us do liquid and fasting prior to surgery.

Try the Premier Protein shakes from Sam's, you might like them too.

Thank you!

I was thinking after the "guilt" kicked in...that the salmon wouldn't fully digest by Tuesday and would still be in my stomach! hee hee

I'm so nervous and over thinking everything!

Welcome to the group! I'll get you added to the list when I am back at my computer!

We also have another fun thread I'd like to encourage you to join under the December topic...it's called the Pounds Lost thread and all you have to do is either PM me how many pounds you hope to lose AFTER surgery, or post it on the thread, and we Celebrate everyone's victories with their weight loss. Right now we have over 5000 pounds being lost.

Hope to see you there and welcome! I am a fellow Dec. 11 sleever and am super excited!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
