Nothing but problems this week.

1. "Shark week" - lots of pain and could only take children's ibuprofen. (Approved by my surgeon) but its disgusting!

1a. I asked the pharmacist if i could open the gel-caps and mix with food.....did that and nearly choked to death.....went down the pipe tho :-)

2. Tried to eat eggs for the first time and it was a complete and total disaster! 1/4 tbsp was all that was needed. Took Felipe 6 hours to digest..

3. Still can't swallow any pills and there is no way in h/ll that I am going to attempt to consume any Vitamins.

4. I have tried every possible Protein shake concoction and little miss sleeve is not having any of it...2 oz.....thats it and its a wrap for Felipe.

5. Constipation....my nurse says I should not live on laxatives but if I don't Felipe shuts down and i cant eat, drink or medicate.....ugggg...

6. I tried working out, which was great...but with 200 or less calories a day, it was just unsustainable...

7. Now I'm back at work full time. My brain needs protein to write these complex contracts...but i cant get it in....:-(

Ok, i'm done with my Felipe bashing.....i just want to feel better without so many obstacles...

I really want this to work....my issues or not around struggling to stay on plan or head hunger....my struggle is that my sleeve is my sole source of nutrition and I have to rely on a 3 1/2 week old for everything....and she's doing the best she can, with the tools she has, for right now.

I know it's hard right now but trust me things will get better day by day.

Thank you....I'm so just about over it...lol

Really sounds like you need to see your doctor! Best wishes and feel better!

I had a really hard time with protein drinks. Finally, we found CorePower. It has 20 grams of protein (26 if you can't find the light version). The strawberry banana is so smooth. I had tried everything... Trust me these are good. No chalk taste, bitter or after taste. No bad smell. Wish I had them them my first two weeks!

Unjury protein is the VERY best. Get the unflavored and mix it with everything. Soup, potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat. My favorite is to mixed a scoop of Unjury with crystal light and water. Often I also sprinkle in the powder non thickening fiber. All of that together taste just like crystal light only. You get 20 oz of water, 20 g of protein and fiber to help you potty. You have to go to their website to order it. Best thing I ever did in sleevedom.
