Ok well let me introduce myself a little better. I'm Megan, I'm 22, and I got sleeved in Mexico on Oct 7. I'm currently in soft foods, but really began to struggle in full liquids. It looks like I'm lactose intolerant and I've really struggled with getting my daily fluids and have basically had no Protein yet. Protein Shakes made me naseous. In fact everything made me nauseous and I had to go to the ER last weekend because I was so dehydrated. I find myself gagging and dry heaving a lot. So I was hoping to find people with similar experiences that could give me any tips. It sounds like you guys are doing great and are kicking butt, I'm proud of you all!

Wt day of operarion:220

Wt now: 190

The only advise I have is sip Water all day long. Protein Shake the same tiny sips 3 minutes apart. A sip should be just like 3 ounces. Go really slow and build up as you go.

You sure you didn't mean .3 ounces?

I found out week 2 that I can't tolerate milk based things either. My dr suggested mixing my unflavored Protein in unsweetened apple juice. I can do the premier protein chocolate. .I use it in my coffee

Try Pocket Protein (pocketprotein.com) It is strawberry flavored and you just mix it with Water for 15 gms of Protein. It is Lactose, carb, fat, sugar, and caffeine free. 60 Calories.


To all My Fitness Pal users I am listed as the same on there - Mommamin1

Wow, you have lost 30 lbs in three weeks.

Have you had any success with Soups and adding unflavored Protein?

What does your sleeve like as far as soft foods?

If you cannot sip, try liquids on a spoon to try and stay hydrated.

I like Isopure Clear Green Tea Lemon drinks. I add this to Water and to my tea. One bottle (20oz) is 40g of protein.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
