For a tasty Protein Drink I've found I like adding the crystal light flavor packets along with plain whey Protein isolate. I don't like the typical chocolate or vanilla Protein Drinks. This way I can have lemonade, fruit mixes etc and I can mix it up everyday

I had trouble with the shakes until I tried whey Protein isolate. I use the Now brand, I buy it on Amazon. It dissolves really well, I hate when other Proteins have clumps.

Another thing you might want to try I'd the Syntrax nectar Protein powders. Mybariatricpantry.com has a sample pack of a bunch of different flavors for like $20. If you like fruit flavored drinks that brand has alot of options

My highest 299.which I also was made to go on 2 week Diet prior to surgery. My current is 255. I was told I was doing OK. I lost 19 pounds at my 2 week follow up.

I had my two week post-op check up Wednesday and I lost 31 so far. That's including my pre-op weight which was 388 and my current weight is 357.... My incisions are healing perfectly and my doctor said that Ian doing great. I still have pain from time to time with one of my incisions which is the larger one that is right above my rib cage.

I'm here! Had surgery 11/10/14. Down 150lbs! Truly the best decision I have ever made. :)

Hi! I had my surgery on June 30 and for the last 5 days I have not lost a single ounce. Did you have that too?

Are you able to tolerate more food now since you are farther out? I'm not even a month out yet and sometimes I feel like I don't want to eat and drink anything. I force myself to do so. I don't want to end of in the hospital.

@lennon15. And how are you doing? Eating? Keeping it down? Pain? And what are you eating? Activities?

I'm doing great actually!! Eating honestly Protein (chicken, turkey, fish and eggs). I've been exercising pretty regularly. I'm down 32lbs. Drinking Water all the time too!

I've been in a stall on the scale for the last 3-4 weeks. It sucks!

Are you trying different types of chicken? I had grilled chicken from KFC and I did pretty well with it. I was a little dehydrated so I had to get me some Pedialyte to drink. It does not have to be chicken try a different type of meat that has a lot of Protein in it. What about yogourt? Peanut Butter?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
