Good Evening/Morning,

Tomorrow will be the end of week one of my Gastric Sleeve Surgery. Any great tips for week two? I am still having difficulty drinking enough fluids, and am at about 40 grams of Protein.

I do not like the taste of Premier Protein Water. I enjoy Protein 2.0 although it only has 15 grams of protein. Also, does anyone have recommendations on great food storage brands, with sizes from 4-8, 12 ounces. I work at a prison, and I know I can portion out food into my rubbermaid of snapware containers, I was seeking a better options.

So, I look forward to your tips and advice.

Week 2 I was pretty wedded to the BariatricPal Store Protein Soups.

Sounds like you’re doing well...

I would pick up some individual packets of Protein - some you'll like, some you won't - and it's not cheap to do it that way, but on the other hand, then you're not stuck with some enormous $40 tub of something you can't stand. You can get individual packets at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe - or online. I personally like Syntrax and Unjury products, but people's tastes are all over the board.

Congrats on your journey! My favorite for Protein was using Premier Protein rtd in chocolate and especially Bananas and Cream as my coffee Creamers (decaff). I'd make iced coffee especially using 1/2 PP + 1/2 coffee over ice. And that way I was really able to get them down without it tasting chokingly sweet. I also cut the strength of the Premier clears with Water and also with decaff iced tea. Both were allowed on my plan.

I also added in unflavored protein into Soups and made quite a few creamed soups.

Oh and I also used the Bananas and Cream and Peaches and Cream to flavor Greek yogurt and make "yogurt soup". You can also make frozen PP into ice cream and pudding using sugar free Jello pudding with the PP as the milk replacement or with 1/2 PP + 1/2 Fairlife Milk.

I honestly just tried to keep things pretty simple, so never really did the whole elaborate puree stuff or ice creams or puddings. Mostly protein lattes, frappacinos, and yogurt Soup. :)

Oh and powdered Peanut Butter (PB2) is great to cut the sweetness of the Protein Powder and ups the protein content of yogurt!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
