I had surgery on the same day, and struggle with some of the same issues. There's a drink sold by Walmart called New Whey Liquid Protein that you may want to look into for the short term (it really helped me meet my goal yesterday). Anyway, good luck :cheers:

I had my sleeve done on 4/29. When he went in to do surgery, he found that a portion of my stomach was in my esophagus because my hiatal hernia was so big. Also, my liver was extremely large so he did a biopsy. My starting weight was 205, I don't drink alcohol so therefore I'm worried as to why my liver was so big. I have to say that the only Protein Drinks I like are the Premier Protein from Walmart. To me, the vanilla is the best. It's only been 3 days & I have to say this is the hardest thing I've ever done! I am trying to have a positive attitude about this but it's so hard, especially when people are bringing over dinner to my family & I'm over here chugging on a Protein drink! Any suggestions?

I agree this is the hardest thing I have ever done, the birth of my son was a piece of cake n he was a 11 lb c-section baby. I also, had an hernia as well that they had to remove. I had Rita's sugar free n it gave me the runs not sure if that would fall under dumping syndrome.. food doesn't bother me b/c I cook for my family it's just the Protein Shakes. You can do this hun????????

I got sleeved 4/27/15 and I have a hard time getting Protein down as well because it's thicker. It helped me to walk while I sip. I try to walk as much as possible. Walking truly helps with EVERYTHING!

I was sleeved on 4/27 and also having a hard time drinking the Protein Shake. I like them but I get full. I drink Premier, Vanilla and strawberry. Got them at costco. I did blend the shake with ice. It's really good. Good luck.

      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! 😞
