I had my sleeve procedure on Monday with permission to go to full liquids on Wednesday. But I have been stuck on Clear Liquids since and was nowhere near my Protein goals (maybe getting in 15-30 grams out of the 65 minimum i should have been getting). I was keeping my Water down but could not bring myself to keep much else down. I have been feeling very malnourished, dizzy, spacey, and just all around miserable.

Well today was a huge leap forward for me, I was able to get half of a Premier Protein shake down in about the span of an hour this morning and I am feeling confident I will get 2 down today (which will put me at 60g of protein for the day). But this Protein Shake may well be one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. I think the only thing that compares is the dinner I had after my 3 day survival training in the military (and that was a damn steak). I am telling you this shake was wonderful, it coated my stomach, filled me up, and stopped my jittery shaking for the first time in days. Because of this shake this is the first day that I am really feeling like this surgery wasn't an awful mistake (I mean mentally I knew it wasn't and I was prepared as one could be for this but still). It is amazing what a few calories will do for you when you are on starvation rations for days on end.

Anyway that is all, I just wanted to share the good news and let all the other recent sleevers know that it gets better soon. Happy recovery all.

Congrats on the break through! Those concerns and doubts after the fact are tough. But they do make the breakthrough that much sweeter!

Yay! It only gets better from here!

Until you have a stall, then it's back on the emotional roller coaster ride that is weight loss surgery (for reference see all the posts on stalls).

🤗 Welcome to the losers bench!

Oh yeah I feel better every day, I just had some cream of chicken Soup and I am feeling wonderful today. I am ready for the stalls I think. I am chomping at the bit to get into the gym and start working out and seeing the muscle gains as the weight loss stalls come. I already feel the weight coming off and it feels great, I wish my 6 weeks light activity restriction was already over. As soon as I can I am going swimming and fishing in my local creek.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
