It can be challenging at first. The first couple of days I barely ‘ate’ a thing. My surgeon was ok if I didn’t reach my goals as long as I was making an effort & getting closer but that was my surgeon.

I found the shakes disgusting & found them a struggle to drink. I had one a day & diluted it in an attempt to make them more palatable. I also had cream Soups, consommés & bone broths (though I found them very salty). I discovered a high Protein drinking yoghurt, after my liquid stage unfortunately, but you can make your own simply by adding milk to a suitable yoghurt (use the yoghurt you are allowed in the purée stage) & blend. Milk is also an easy protein source. Try some of the unflavoured protein powders & add them to Soup or milk. There’s also protein waters you can try.

Yeah, my surgeon was mostly concerned that I could get my liquids in. I found low salt Bone Broth and 2 cups was 20g of Protein. It was so comforting all warmed up. Just keep trying and drinking. Warm drinks like herbal tea felt good too.

Thanks for your question - my sleeve was 9/9/22 and I, too, am really struggling with pain and getting all my goals. I like Premier Protein - pre made shakes are okay - but my favorite is their chocolate powder which I put in milk (usually 4oz at a time). It’s nice to be able to control the amount. I find that anything that’s more than 4oz is too much and just makes me feel overwhelmed. Good luck on your journey!

Hi J

The struggle is real, I should have gone with the chocolate Protein powder instead of the plain. I'm not getting in no protein, I feel pretty bad no energy. I'm going to order something from the Bariatric store.

This is my go to Protein, before and now after surgery. The flavors are so good, and they mix easy.

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
