Okay so anyone else have a complete intolerance post op with any kind of meat. My pouch doesn’t like it and I don’t care for it either. I prefer veggies and that’s about it. I’m not really getting any Protein in other than the drinks which my program wants me off of. I’m over a month post op right now.

Six weeks is still early. I'd just be patient and see if it becomes easier to tolerate.

Why does your program want you off shakes? I still rely on them at 6 months because I have a lot of restriction. My program has no issue with that.

They consider them a slider food

Well they are ... but I don't think anyone drinks them because they taste great. I think for most people it's just a way to meet their Protein goals.

I'd have a problem if my program had an issue with Protein Drinks, as long as they were low cal, high protein options.

I may just do them anyways. I am tired all the time and it’s because I’m not getting anything.

I would. Getting your Protein in is far more important than worrying if it's a slider food, IMO.

Could you get your Protein from plants also? Beans and Lentils might work since you already seem to be eating a plant-based diet.

As far as me, I need the protein drinks to get enough protein calories in. For right now, I'd be totally fine "eating" only them for a year. My desire for food has virtually vanished, a benefit I hoped I got before surgery.

"Sliders". If you lived in the Midwest, they have a different meaning. For one, you have to get them at a castle painted white! Pre-surgery, I took a co-worker there. I warned him not to eat more than 2 because his body would not like him afterward. He didn't want to feel like a wimp next to my half dozen, so he got 4......The next day..."Oh my gosh, how can you do that and live?" -- "Titration my friend, had about 30 years to ramp up!". Scary thing was my boss put down a dozen or 18 once. Granted he's a very tall guy, but wow. It was actually a tradition whenever I had to fly into Detroit. Land, get rental car, immediately get white castle, then go to hotel.

If I can tolerate meat later on, it might actually be a good choice, so long as I didn't eat the bun. There probably isn't more than 1.5 ounces of beef in that patty.

Yeah you are right about White Castle, they are v the sneaky,type of Sliders. Midwest Joke
How can you,tell a White Casle fiend?
Answer- They have 5 little holes in. their 😝 tongue!
Now to explain to you in benighted areas. White Castle's meat patties are fashioned with 5 little hole so they cook quickly. Now they have expanded to a few. other sandwiches, onion rings and things that go well with those little chopped onion- blessed critters. They are also known as "cab driver steak" when you're driving a cab they are cheap and quick. Don't take much time away from hauling fares.
How do I seem an expert on White Castle? I lived in Columbus for 10 years, about half of those within a few blocks of the 1st at the corner of N High St and W Dodridge, sad to say it is no longer, like the song "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" but White Castle lives on. For the desperate you can buy them frozen at Kroger's and Wal-Mart. And alas where I live in Mount Vernon, 48 miles NE we DO NOT HAVE a White Castle. We go to Delaware maybe 25-29 miles WSW when we want fresh and don't want to go into Columbus.🍔

Can you do the qreek yogurt. How about fat free refried Beans with an egg scrambled in it? You can add the un flavored whey Protein to everything too.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
