Getting protein/liquids in? And hair loss question



Recommended Posts

So I very very recently got sleeved (on March 9th). I am super excited to be moving on to stage 2 of my diet -i never thought I would be this excited for vegetables!- but I'm having problems getting the protein/liquids in. I can't stand drinking just Water, so I have been drinking diluted cranberry juice (which I found out I also have a UTI right before I went into surgery but they never put me on meds - long story). That has helped a lot, but I'm still not getting the Protein intake I need. What are some good, liquid diet options, for protein intake? I am almost at the point where I just want to chuck the "Breakfast carnation" drinks out the window. I'm soooo sick and tired of drinking them. They hurt my stomach, but I can get puréed vegetable Soup down just fine. Any hints? I am absolutely terrified about the Hair loss as well. Was it super noticeable?

Let me just clarify I am on a diet plan that allows me to have puréed Soups already

Premier Protein drinks are wonderful. 30 grams of Protein each. I purchased mine at costco and 6 months out I'm still drinking. eggs are a great source too. I'm experiencing Hair loss but nothing so outrageous thus far. I'm taking a hair and nail supplement. Gl

I like nectar but not all of the flavors are good. I got a sample pack so that I could try a bunch and so far there are about 3 I like. It's all about personal preference.

      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.

      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!
