I was sleeved June 12! How are all of you feeling? I have felt great every day. I haven't had any issues with food or nausea. I've lost 32 lbs but now I've hit a 4 day stall. I'm so worried I am doing something wrong. I've got this paranoia that I'm going to be the person this doesn't work for. I know it is psychological. Does anyone else feel this way already?

I am two weeks post op today. I am only weighing once a week and actually took my scales to my daughters house down the road. I am doing well. Not much hunger, no nausea. I have one incision that is being stubborn about healing but it is coming along. I have one more week on full liquids and then on to soft foods. I actually didn't want any food today at all. Everything I ate (or drank) I forced myself to get in my Protein and nutrients. I am a little concerned I have a potassium deficiency.

Hey guys, thought maybe someone would know what I can do to help...I cannot tolerate much protein! Just a few sips hits my stomach like lead. I finally managed to sip one over about 3 hours. But I'm miserable most of the time. I keep trying of course I know my body needs it. Also, I'm on pureed/soft foods and find I can get maybe two small spoons of something down (protein based..ie greek yogurt, egg, fish) and it hits like lead and just sits there, or even a few sips of a Protein Drink are making me feel almost nauseated. I've gotta start getting more than 200 calories down! And gotta get closer to my Protein goals. I do find that papaya enzymes and gas-ex pills help, but after every "meal" of two bites I'm thinking I'm going to over do it on the gas-ex! And I have terrible burping and farting.... I've turned gross!! Any ideas?

Isopure Protein Drinks go down pretty easily! They are clear, and come in many flavors! Blue raspberry is my fav!

Having my surgery July 1. When was your surgery?

I feel the exact same way! I'm terrified to eat. I've lost 24 lbs since my June 10 surgery, but nothing yesterday and was paranoid all day. I haven't been able to exercise due to severe back spasms so that's adding anxiety to this. I think we just have to try to be patient and look at the big picture.

I have been able to get out and walk, but it is frustrating watching the scale not reflect my efforts. I have seen a lot of people say to avoid the scale except once a week or do but I have become obsessed. I need to pull an Elsa and let it go. We will be just fine! Congratulations and good luck!

I agree. Some people don't like the Isopure protein waters but I love it over ice. To me it tastes like SF koolaid. I will get a small glass and sip on it all day. If you can manage to drink a bottle throughout the day, that will get you 40 gr of protein. I am still on full liquids two weeks post op because I tried Jello and it felt like lead hitting my stomach. Then kind of nauseas feeling for a few days. My NUT said if you try something in a stage and it doesn't set well, then it isn't time to stay in a lower stage for a few more days. I have found a bean and bacon Soup at United and I purée it and eat it slowly. It has more protein than most Soups. Also I add about a Tbls of unflavored protein power to add another 5 gr. it takes me about an hour and a half to finish a protein drink. As for the soup, it takes me about an hour to eat 1 cup. Also the puréed soups have more calories. Good luck!

Sleeved on June 2. Dropped a quick 30, then hit the three week stall. I think I've punched through it by some heavy cardio and gym work, so now Im down about 35 in less than a month.

Walking? I can hardly get up to pee! My ribs on both sides feel like they been stretched outward from the inside! I'm sore which is making it hard to move. Weird. Wasn't expecting this. They don't seem to care if I walk yet.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
