I tried a bit of decaf coffee today and it was heaven. I also had a Greek yogurt this am and a teeny bit of unsweetened oatmeal less than 1/4 c dry. Everything went down fine. My one week post op is tomorrow. ?

Hey! We are all sleeve siblings. I got my sleeve done January 7th and man its been a journey. I was struggling with the liquid phase and couldn't wait to move on to pureed. Little did i know, i ended up hating pureed and went back to liquids the first week. I needed to find a way to get all of my protein in before i can eat something because after a bite of pureed food i was full for hours. My new thing is that i drink a protein shake in the morning (still takes forever), for lunch i have one of those tuna creation packs (high protein), and for dinner a meat that is high in protein or just another protein shake. it works for me and my pouch but can be different for others. This journey is actually interesting. Learning hat your body likes and doesn't like is very cool and im glad i did the surgery.

I went to the gym this morning and did some cardio. It was awesome!! If you were working out before the surgery, you will feel a difference for sure since we are lighter.

I mean I can only get down about 1/6th of it before I can't physically swallow more, or I end up drinking half of it and throwing up a good portion of it.
Protein water won't work for me because it's whey.
My doctor is aware of it; I'll just heal a bit more slowly. I'm doing everything I can right now. My normal shake is 20g, and my body cannot handle the taste of it. We even tried bone broth soups with protein in it, but my body says no.

Have you tried Fairlife shakes? They're called Fairlife Core Power and they're 26g of protein. I couldnt do the Premier Protein shakes, they were way to sweet and the aftertaste made me gag. Fairlife shakes just take like milk, or a milkshake even. Zero protein powder aftertaste. I tried it one day from a gas station when I forgot to pack a shake, then bought cases off Amazon. Never even got tired of them!
