I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

I was sleeved on march 12th. Having an impossible time meeting my protein requirements. Anyone else??

I was also sleeved on the 12th. The only way I was able to meet both my protein and water goals today was by drinking a bottle of protein water. Two birds, one stone. But it’s a huge feat to even do that at this point

There are several different types. It’s flavored water infused with protein. I know that premier has premier clear, there’s protein2o and this is the one that I like the best. It has 20 grams of protein in 16 ounces.

Apple and Stevie,

How are y’all doing? The gas pain this morning was pretty bad. The pain meds have been great and I’ve gotten in some good walks.

I’ve had water, broth and jello. May be able to go home in the morning.

Hope y’all are doing great!!

Hey! I survived. The pain in my abdomen was bad for the first walks, but now I have narcotic pain relievers and I feel better. Walked a round this morning with no pain meds! Hooray! I wonder if they’ll release me early

How are you, @charismatic ?

I had mine March 7th too. I am so glad to find this page, because it helps so much to hear from others, especially going through the same thing right now.

They are clear fruity waters that have large amounts of protein in them.

Hey guys!!! Day 8 post op, day 3 on full liquids. Just wanting to know if anyone is having trouble with Protein? If I add unflavored protein to my creamy Soup or if I sip on a Protein Shake I feel so sick to my stomach. pudding, sugar free popsicles, Water is all okay, but anything with sustenance makes me feel ill. Help!!

Eventer, I feel your pain. I had my surgery on 3/7 and at my post op yesterday they started me on full liquids. I am struggling so much with getting the protein in. I feel gassy and bloated, and have to struggle to get even halfway through a shake. I felt sick all day.

@luvabull2 welcome, glad to meet you. This is a busy night, a lot of new friends showing up. This is obviously a gangbusters month in Bariatrics, the surgeons have been busy. How are you recovering from your March 7th surgery? Have you got rid of your water weight? How are you doing with the fluids? Are you getting in 64 oz like the doctors usually want you to?Tell us where you live, where did you have your surgery? Did you like your surgeon, would you recommend it to another?I know I'm asking a lot of things but we sure would like to know you better. And we,hope youll hang with us a while.

Thanks@frust8. I live in New Jersey, and had my surgery at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch. I love my doctor, and in fact the whole office staff. They are great about answering my questions night or day. Lol. I am not sure if I got rid of all of my water weight yet, but lost 14.4 pounds in 6 days. I am struggling with the water, but even more so with the protein shakes they started me on last night. I am hoping this will pass.

It will, a lot of people complain about the thickness and have diluted it half and half. Jersey Girl is active so you by far are not the only Garden Stater.it is good you had a good experience and have a great surgeon and a decent office staff to work with. It sounds strange but we do some times have newbies coming on who have not made a relationship with a surgeon.so hearing about good Bariatrics and good,locations are cool.

MyFitnessPal is excellent.

I’ve been using Baritastic you can track pretty much everything food/protein, water, exercise, journal measurements etc
