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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
