Protien only?

Does anyone that's been sleeved find themselves consuming protein only? If so, what results are you seeing?

    I never seem to have room for veggies. I do drink v8 with protein powder. I am three months out and 15 pounds from my doctors goal. Keep taking all your vitamins and you will do fine. One of these day

  • During the 1st few months, I was eating so little that I was mostly eating protein. I didn't have much room for anything else and any kind of vegetable didn't agree with Frankensleeve. I was losing ab

    Protein alone is not good. You must eat some veggies. I was having problems with gout, constipation and slow weight loss, and our NUT said it was all because I ate too much protein. I was afraid to

Have you tried other shakes? My fave is EAS AdvantEdge, not thick like the others and no after taste. Or maybe Isopure Zero carb or nectar if it's the milky like ones you don't like.

I'm just at the beginning of my 7th week and I'm all about Protein. That being said, I do love the sugar free bomb pop popcycle. Especially right after I drink my one protein shake every day (it leaves a yucky taste in my mouth). I have also on a couple of occasions had a little Peanut Butter on a cracker but thats only if I have had all my protein for the day. I have also had a cracker or two with my tuna on a couple of occasions. My idea of a real treat has certainly changed! And I must say that I'm quite proud of the fact that I made it through the entire Easter holiday without one, not even one, reeses peanut butter egg :-)

Thanks Linda! Never heard if it until now. I will check it out!

PB2 is really good!! I add it to shakes (chocolate powder, sliced, frozen banana, Water and PB2, DELISH!!) I use it in recipes and even just mix up a portion and eat it. If you are a peanut butter-aholic, it's also great for helping with self control, because instead of a whole jar, you can just mix up what you want. Keeps you mindful of what you are eating.

Have you tried the fat free PB2 powder you mix with Water? Check it out, Peanut butter that tastes like regular.

Walmart has it.

Is it with the other peanut butter Linda?

My doctor wants me off protein shakes all together after the first two weeks I am 6 days out. He does not want me "Driking" my calories. I cant wait for Sunday! I get to have Greek yogurt and cottage cheese!!! Hahah funny I don't ever feel hungry. I am down 12 lbs since surgery.

Yes, with the peanut butter. I only found it at Walmart. It is in a plastic jar about the size of a large spice container.

Thanks! And it's better for us than regular pb?

Yes, just google PB2 and read about it. :D

Thanks!

12 pounds is fantastic, great job!!

I love pb2! They have a chocolate pb2 that I like the best. It is a little sweeter and I think it tastes more like regular peanut butter.
