So I had the sleeve done a week ago and I have been struggling to drink the Protein waters my surgeon prescribed. I’m supposed to have 2x 450ml bottles a day which will give me 60g protein.

Has anyone else had this issue?

From reading the forums it seems like a lot of people have trouble getting down the Protein Drinks, but I never had any problem. I used the GNC Lean shakes pre-made Protein drinks.

I do have trouble, had my sleeve done on 3/20. Yesterday I started making in protein and it worked. I start my day with a 16 oz Water and I freeze the protein in ice trays that equal up to 80 grams. I eat the and ice all day long. It worked but today is just the second day I'm doing it. Hope that helps

Try different brands of Protein - some people tolerate some better than others - sometimes its the taste, sometimes the ingredients. If s/he wants you to have 60g of Protein Drinks a day, it probably doesn't matter what Protein Drink you are using, but check with the office.

HI There

I had surgery on 3/5/19. Everything has gone well, the only thing they recommended at my 2 week appt was increasing my Water intake. The last 3 days I have had zero energy! Did you experience this?

I haven’t had any energy either. I can hardly stand for 5 mins without wanting to faint. I have a doctors appointment this afternoon. I’m going to see if he can suggest something

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
