Hello. I was sleeved 2/10. I lost 12 lbs at first but now I am not loosing any. On week 3. Eating purée and can't get enough Protein.< /p>

I was sleeved 2/2/2015. I stalled for week 3 and week 4. Totally normal. Frustrating but normal. During that time I lost lots of inches. Week 5 I have lost 3 pounds.

I still get at least half my protein from one Protein Shake a day.

During the puree stage I added unflavored Protein Powder to the Soup, chicken salad and egg salad. I used a mixture of light mayo and fat free greek yogurt in the chicken/egg salad plus salt, pepper and a touch of Gulden's mustard to the egg. I couldn't even taste the protein powder in the salad. I could taste it a little in the soup and you need to be careful to not overheat the soup.

Super frustrated. I was sleeved on Feb 2nd and have been stalled for almost 3 weeks now. I lost 21 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I need to break this stall.

I was sleeved February 26 and I feel really good right now. It is hard to get the Water in and I am slowly increasing my Protein. I have one week and then I can start on solid protein. Can't wait. I would love to join the Facebook page and I will pm my information. Good luck to everyone.

2/11 sleeve date. Been feeling great. Only challenge is getting enough fluids and Protein. I am amazingly down 32#s. Cottage cheese and pulverized chicken salad, and cream Soups are the soft foods I can tolerate. Been stalled for a few days but not worried yet. I would like to join Facebook page also, even though from this forum I may be the only guy! Email is scperry18@hotmail.com. Thanks!

@@VGB I am having the same problem. I was told that Isopure would be a great drink and it comes in many flavors. Tried it and hated it with a passion. I am having a horrible time with the Protein. I cannot stand to drink any of them so far but maybe Isopure drinks will work for you.

Are you using Protein powders? I can't stand them, but am able to tolerate liquid shakes like Premier Protein (30 g/11 oz) and Atkins (15 g/11 oz). There are lots of other brands -- I just happen to like these two brands.

For Isopure, I recommend using half a bottle, with 10oz of Crystal Light, G2, or some other juicey type beverage. It will mask the flavor, and you still get 20g Protein. I do this daily, it takes me all day to get it down, I just keep adding ice. I get about 30oz of Fluid, and 20g protein :)

If you haven't tried the black tea lemon, I suggest trying it. It's not nearly as bad as the grape.

I got sleeved on 2/27. Gained about 8lbs post op (fluids). Have now lost that plus 11 more for total of 19. Surprised every few days seeing the numbers come down. ???? Started feeling hungry a few.days ago. Have been reading about taking antacids. Will def look into that today. Had just finished a shake and felt "full" and 10 mins later felt like I could take down a steer and eat him all by myself lol.

Had my sleeve done Feb 11,2015. Doing pretty good so far. Was very painful in the beginning but I made it thru. My kids and hubby are very supportive. I've lost about 23 pounds so far. I'm hoping to lose 150 more.

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

      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! 😞
