I was sleeved two weeks ago.

This site is very NEW to me... Still trying to learn how this works! It's been difficulty getting my Protein in & I've been experiencing diarrhea since trying some diluted mashed potatoes. I'm hungry most of the time because the liquids are currently going through me. I think I am allergic to the whey in the iso-pure because it makes my throat itch. I'm going to give the iso-pure protein liquid a try by putting it in some Water to dilute it. I feel weak a lot of the time. The biggest thing is to try to get down my liquids every day

Go to Costco's or Sam and get the premix premier protein. Drink apple juice/White grapes juice with a little water in it this will help you with the diarrhea. Hope this helps you and I hope you're feeling better.

Big thanks--- my diarrhea has subsided some! Now I'm just adjusting! This is week two (day 9)- I still have some pain that I'm dealing with. I'm also trying to figure out why I'm hungry often! I drink the isopure protein drinks (fruit Punch & apple melon) it's not bad when I mix w/ water. I'm scared to weigh myself so I have opted not to do so until my 2 wk f/u this Friday! I'm grateful for this site b/c I'm able to read others experiences & get encouragement --- my emotions are all over the place. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Your welcome keep me posted of your weight loss, a friend of my told me not to weight my every day ,do it once a month. This help keep you encourage. My weeks is tomorrow but I'm not weighing in until my three weeks post visit.

Hey girly congrats I had ny surgery in June. I was in pain for about month. Make sure you use your pain medicine it literally works wonders. I didn't have diarrhea but its hard to get protein in trust me. Don't lose hope it might just be how your body is adjusting.
