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:

Thank you so much I will stop by walmart tom. I have not hit my protein goal at all. Tom I start full liquid

I had surgery that day too! Haven't met protein goals yet. Can't stand the protein shakes, so added Greek yogurt and that's helping. Good luck!

Hi All. Had my surgery on 4/29/15. Have some stomach pain. Protein Shakes working fine. Get tired kinda fast, not hungry AT ALL. Shoulder kinda hurting but outside of that, I'm doing Great. F I had to do it all over again, I WILL

If you like milk go to the milk section of Walmart and buy the fair life milk. Has 19 grams of protein per serving. Tastes just like milk so you don't have to try to find a decent tasting protein drink.

I am 5 days post op today. The new whey protein made me sick. They are very disgusting and I couldn't keep them down. I am not supposed to start my protein shakes til Monday but I had to cause I couldn't find any other way to get it all in. I feel so much better

Thank you, it's been so difficult to even drink the protein I normally drink

I was also sleeved on the 28th.thankfully I am having no problems.have you tried gas x-the ones that dissolve on your tongue? Those have worked wonders for me getting rid of had so I can get my liquids and protein in.

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.
