Good morning everyone,

I just got sleeved on October 12. I have no pain at all but I'm struggling to get in all of my Protein and 64oz of h2o. I get full so quick and all Protein shakes taste funny to me. I purchased an unflavored Protein powder that I found at Walmart but it makes everything I put it in like a milky color and has a funny after taste.... any advice on how I can get in my protein and fluids. Also did anyone else experience coughing up phlegm and a little blood?? Mines finally stopped but just wondering if anyone else experienced the same.

You need to add flavorings to the shakes, although I do like Premier chocolate remade shakes in the carton. You will hear about Torani SF syrups, Dasani flavored drops, even adding a little SF pudding, low sugar yogurts, even Crystal Light powder.

You need to remember there are no medical experts here so if you see blood or have pain, go to the ER or call your doctor. Trust your gut instinct about your body!

Congrats! I am 5 days out and had the same problems :( My doctor gave me a recipe that is WONDERFUL! It gives you the same Protein in 1/2 the amount and makes more time available for getting in your Water.

1-sugar free pudding (in ready container)

1-scoop of Protein Powder

A little milk (about 1/3 cup)

Blend well.

It will become a liquid and is 1/2 the amount of a shake with the same amount of Protein. Best part is you can change up pudding flavor (as long as it's sugar free) so you don't get bored with the taste. Hope this helps!

Thank you for responding I will definitely search for the torani sf syrups.... I did contact my doctor he said the phlegm was normal (result from anesthesia) and we had a long chat about the blood.... thank you

I tried a lot of drinks to get my Water in - Powerade zero, g2, infused lemon Water, Vitamin water zero. Tart things worst best, I've found fake sugar tastes even more sickly sweet. Buy 1 or 2 of each and just keep trying them. I'm a month out and still figuring that part out.

Thanks for the advice finally some that agrees that the fake sugars taste overwhelmingly sweet.. I will be on the hunt for different drinks

Thank you thank you momma3. I'm gonna try that tonite. I'm 3 days PO. Having strange taste issues. Seems like the only things a can get down are savory.

I woke my husband up in the middle of the nite talking like a magpie in my sleep about how he should cook the steak and green Beans. He was so mad at me for the rest of the nite till I woke up and he could tell me how badly he is craving steak now.

I use Syntrax Nectars. The taste is amazing, the portions can be adjusted, no terrible aftertaste, and it's thin like Crystal light. I LOVE them.

I found the ocean spray diet cranberry, with a scoop of Protein powder pretty tolerable at that stage. It made the juice almost taste creamy. Sounds gross but it helped me a ton. And sugar free popsicles. Popsicle brand has a Tropical variety that was such a nice change from the standard cherry, grape, orange. Good luck. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and still struggle to get 65 oz of liquid in. Everyday is New day.

@@siera63 I split the can of Campbell's chicken noodle with my daughter. I got the broth, she got the noodles. Win, win. And was just the salty, savory, I needed.

      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!!

      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?
