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!!!!

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
