Omg, I don't know how to take 70g of Protein a day, and 64 onz of liquid plus purée foods. I'm so lost. It's to Much for my sleeve. I need help I stared to feel very tired

One thing you can do is make sure almost everything you consume has Protein. My surgeon allowed all fluids to count toward my 64 oz of Fluid.

As mentioned, Premier Protein gives you a lot of protein for a small amount of Fluid. My surgeon said there was no physical reason we couldn't drink three premier Protein shakes (total of 90 grams of protein) in a day the day after surgery.

Just keep sipping.

Yes I find premier Protein the best for me. I don't mind the taste even and haven't gotten tired of them. Which is odd because I wasn't afflicted with a sweet tooth and don't typically like sweet. The vanilla is tasty and so is chocolate. strawberry is blah. Get the premade. I know they seem expensive but I am sure you spent more than 4.50 a day on food before the sleeve. Good luck!!!!

Something to try. Isopure Water. 40 grams Protein in a bottle. Added bonus is hitting your Water requirement.

You can buy them in single bottles at GNC or Vitamin shoppe

I tried the Isopure but I couldn't get past the taste. I purchased bottle and bottles of it. I thought if I found someone in the San Francisco area that might want to try I would give them away to a good home.

I always sample a product before I buy more. I like Isopure apple Mellon. shakes sit a bit heavy for me. I'm on the run most days. I pour it over ice in my Water bottle... ..I'm good to go.

The Isopure Protein powder I use gives you 50 grams of Protein, no sugar, and no carbs. You should be able to pick up close to 20 more grams in your diet. If not double up on your shakes one In the morning one in the evening.

I drink the Premier Protein shakes also. If you go to Bariatric Choice, they sell a Jello & hot chocolate that both have about 15g per serving. I love jello & hot chocolate. I will say, if you use the jello, I make it according to the package but add about 1/2 cup of ice after I mix the hot Water & jello mix. This is supposed to be one serving but I find it's more than I can eat at one time. I cut the serving in half & eat it in two servings. Love this stuff.

The Isopure apple melon is the only flavor I liked out of them all. It hid the slight aftertaste so well!

I could t get with the Isopure personally but it's worth a try! Also, I have GENEPRO Protein it's tasteless and flavorless so you can add it to just about anything for the extra protein. It comes in handy!

I can tolerate Isopure much better than premier or muscle milk Protein Shakes. I think I'm lactose intolerant because my stomach becomes bloated and gassy after drinking those ugh. I normally add crystal light to my isopure to make it taste better.

Of course I should have tried it before buying 35 bottles!!! But I was purchasing a lot of items before surgery trying to be proactive. I thought I would be a great help with the Protein. I had to purchase online. I couldn't find a store that carried it

I agree on the Isopure so what I did was make my own concoction.

8oz of Isopure

8oz of the same color gatorade or Powerade - make sure they are the zero ones

8oz of Water

Mix all together and enjoy! Water and Protein all in one which didn't make me gag at the taste.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
