Mamy, I'm drinking the Premium Protein Shakes, and I now add a little Skim Milk to dilute them. I can get them at Sam's or Walmart. They come in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, and are quite tasty.

I am drinking these Protein supplements I had left over from quick weight loss. I forget the exact name but they're 70 calories and have 15g of protein.

The Premium Protein Shakes have 30 grams of Protein, 1 Gram of Sugar, but do have 160 Calories.

Well I still have the Super Nose that seems to smell everything...Gas and Nausea worse when the Medication

hits about the three hour mark. I went to the Nutritionist and the Dr. Today...They were happy that I am getting my fluids

and the nutritionist said I can go to puree stage so I can get Protein. (I still cannot stomach shakes of any kind) The Dr. said everything looked good until he tested my oxygen level (it was low) so off I went to get an Upper GI...I lucked out and my other Surgeon was walking through and stayed with me and got the pictures from the GI that were needed, and prevented Radiology from making me drink way to much BARIUM ...Everything looked great so I am a happy camper.

count me into the group as well! i too am having problems getting in all my Protein and fluids. i've been using the Premier Protein shakes. they are ready made and not too bad. i pour 4oz in a 5oz dixie cup and sip, sip, sip. usually takes me about 30 minutes to sip. premier has 30 grams of Protein and can be found at Walmart, sams, costco and bjs. another plus is you can pour what you need, seal it back up and refrigerate the rest.

i've wasted so much money on protein. bought one at Vitamin shop that had could be used in hot or cold liquids....WRONG....hot fluids were so lumpy i couldn't even get the lumps out with my magic bullet.

Sleeved 23 December. I had internal bleeding so wasn't discharged until 26th. Takes all day to get in required liquids and Protein. It takes me about 2.5 hours to drink Protein Shake. Went back to work yesterday... Desk job. A little tired and sometimes difficulty concentrating on tasks more mentally challenging.

My daily intake is one Premier Protein shake, one BariWise chicken bullion and one blended homemade chicken soup..about half a cup. I also drink one Vitamin Water zero and about another 10 oz of plain water. It feels like a big project to get all that in. I am getting about 60 grams of Protein and just under 400 calories. I gained at least 10lbs in the hospital with all the fluids, the bleeding and the 3 blood transfusions. I am down 28lbs from weight when I got home from hospital and 18lbs from weight morning of surgery- 2 weeks today.

I was sleeved on December 30th. I had a little bit of a rough start bc I wasn't really making much urine. They were giving me Fluid boluses and as a result I was up 20 lbs when I came home. I am now down 5 lbs since DOS. My postop visit is in about a week. Hope to be on purée foods by then. Over this full liquid stage. My pain and nausea is so much better now.

My surgery was on 12/30. I don't know how much I weigh because I haven't weighed since the day of surgery. How often should I be weighing?

I was sleeved on the 29th and I've only lost 15 pounds so far. For some reason I feel this is low but then again it's 15 pounds.

I'm having difficulties getting out and walking but all my intakes are good. Maybe this is the reason. Not sure.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
