I really am over this! I am 1 week post op and feel .... UGH! I am a creature of habit so eating/drinking the same thing doesn’t bother me unless I start dreaming of all the food I want and can’t have. The clear Protein SUCKS!!!!!! I’m just now able to really drink Water. Needless to say I haven’t had enough protein and I’m dehydrated causing hot/cold flashes, not sleeping well, and fatigued would be an understatement. A prosciutto wrapped mozzarella would go a long way right now. I can now have the Premier chocolate Protein Drink so I drank 2 and have drank 2 bottles of water so I feel a little better. Band to sleeve is no joke!!!

I'm glad that you're now able to drink your Protein and your Water. The first month is the absolute worst! After that, it gets so much better!

Sort of like It Only Hurts For A Little While?

Hang in there. Keep sipping, try sf popsicles, Bone Broth, tea. It is most important to be hydrated rather than meet entire Protein goals right now. Rest, walk, and heal. It progresses faster after the 1st month.

2 weeks Thursday and I can swallow soooo much better. It was hard at first but it does get better. Give it a few more days and your stomach will adjust to drinking

At the suggestion of my doctor I started taking a Benadryl to help me sleep and my sister suggested a B12 shot. Those 2 things made all the difference! Now I’m starting to have reflux and get nauseated after I drink my shake. Always something I guess. Thanks for all of your support!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
