Recommended Posts

My only issue after almost a month out is if I forget to take nexium past a couple days....ugh! I take my Vitamins daily but forget this one thing. Now I have one at home and one in my purse.

I have a nutrininja and I take my Premier Protein add it to the 30 oz cup, I add two scoops of necter Protein and fill it with ice. I do this twice a day. That's 60 Protein and 60 oz Fluid. I drink 20 oz of Water at night 30 mins after my puree. I can only handle stuff like hummus, refried Beans and mashed avocado. Usually 5 or 6 bites and done. I've only lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks so I'm fine sticking to the Premier Protein for now.


What kind of premier protein do you like best? I love my ninja blender. I’m not familiar with nectar protein. What does it taste like? I like your plan of how you get in 60 and 60!

I just got sleeved on monday 25th. still pretty sore but doing alright otherwise. i'm having issues with the Protein Shakes / most beverages now as well, everything just tastes too sweet and somehow off. however luckily, through experimenting i found this beverage, it goes down very well for me, and today i actually managed to hit the 64 oz by basically constantly sipping.i like the cucumber kiwi, dark cherry and the watermelon raspberry best.

also Bone Broth and campells Soup, watered down and strained works quite well.

Necter unflavored tastes like nothing in a shake, yogurt, creamed cauliflower or Soup. Caramel mixed with a cup of coffee is my favorite. Just like a frozen frappe

I struggled a lot too. I had to stay in the hospital twice to get fluids because I couldn’t get any Water down. I lived on about 200 calories for the first 4 weeks. I am 7 weeks post op now and it is getting better. I meet my Fluid goal of 64 oz most days. I am still not at 60g of Protein but compared to two weeks ago I am at about 50-55g each day. Give yourself some time, you will get there. Remember how you felt 3 days after surgery? How do you feel now? It is confusing reading how easy it is for some people to eat and drink and how fast others loose weight. It stressed me out at some point but I trust on my sleeve and that it will all work out at the end.

Sorry that I haven’t sent and update. I’m doing great! All issues resolved and down 50lbs from highest weight. I eat anythinwithin reason of course still no sugar or cards no processed foods etc. I generally do 2 Protein Shakes and a high Protein diet. I have a smoothie in the am now that helped. Staying on my vita minds. food can be cumbersome but it keeps my appetite low. Any way I think it was just a bumpy start. Anyone struggling a few weeks post op take heart it gets better!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
