Any 12/21/15 sleevers: How are you doing?



Recommended Posts

100 of Protein is a lot. My goal for week one was only 40, although I was able to get at least 60 in with two premier shakes. My ultimate goal is 70-90, I think

I replied to you but trying figure out how to reply within the same post box

I think just being a few days out from surgery I didn't realize how much you don't get prepared for ahEads of time ...it truly is a learning process

My dietician told us not to stock up on stuff, so I didn't have much. I did purchase a kit with Vitamins and such, but the shakes are getting old. Thinking about some good chicken broth with plain Protein powder.< /div>

Is there a good brand of unflavored Protein powder?

My goal unis to drink 2 Premier shakes a day at least but I haven't quite gotten there yet because the more I drink the more pressure I get from bloating. The shakes taste great.

Sometimes it takes all day to get those two shakes in, doesn't it? I usually try for half and then go back for the other half later.

All of the unjury products seem to get really good reviews. I can't get it locally that I can find as of yet.

I can get Isopure at GNC, so I might try that with some chicken broth.

I do three shakes a day, so I start first thing in the morning and drink 2 ounces (Todd use for the shot glasses I can't use anymore) and then set the timer on my phone for 30 minutes. Take my shot and then repeat 30 minutes later. Probably gonna switch to 20 minutes tomorrow, so I can get my Water intake up.

I'm going crazy tonight and gonna have a sugar free Popsicle....

I tried some sugar-free orange Jello with some fat free half and half to cut down on strong flavor ...wasn't bad ...put it in freezer to set it and had to stir it a couple of times to keep it mixed together. ..then put on fridge

Have you easily added the unflavored Protein Powder into stuff like broth or low fat cream based Soup?

My sleeve surgery was 12/22/15. Today has been the first day I've managed to drink even 1 Protein shake. I've had very little abdominal pain, but severe shoulder pain. I've been walking at least 15 minutes a day as the surgeon said it will help release the gas trapped in my upper back.

Try a heating pad for your upper back. I fell asleep in the recliner my first night home with it on and had very little issue with that since. The nurse recommended it at the hospital.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
