I just bought them today lol. They arent bad at all, hopefully ill have better luck. Thanx everybody!!

I was sleeved August 15th. Ive lost about 40 pounds but heres my issues. 1)my desire to eat is non exsistant. I get hungry bit the thought of eating makes my stomach turn. Has this happened to anyone? I thought it would get better but it hasnt. Im living off of atkins protein bars & 1 protein shake a day. And 2) since I started losing weight my joints are KILLING me. My hips, knees, & shoulder have.never hurt so dang much. Im 34 & feel like im trapped in an 80 year olds body. Is this normal?

Wow 70 grams! Thats incredible. Yes im trying hard. Unfortunately meats & fish do not sit well so I rely on lentils, & beans for some protein. Its more difficult than I anticipated but I have good days & bad days. Friday was a great day. I was able to have some cheese, a peice of fish & a 30 gram protein shake. Today...not so good.

Clair, I have heard from my primary care doc about 80% of sleeve patients have to get their gallbladders removed. Symptoms can range from back pain, shoulder pain, intense pain, or even no pain. I would look into it. Keep me.posted!

Hi group. I guess im here because ive been feeling emotional. I was released from the hospital on 8/17 & couldnt do much due to swelling & gas however today (Sunday) I opened my eyes to a fear of.not taking in as much water & protein. I cant seem to drink as much as I want/need. Has anyone else gone through this or does anyone have any words of advice? Im nervous about not drinking enough of either water or protein shakes.

Give your body time to heal. Im sure youll be ok. Have you taken the meds? I was put on prilosec & told to take it but I feel ok. How are you feeling otherwise?

Thank you all for replying. Your advice is liquid gold to me thank you for putting a little perspective into it. I now have a little something more to look forward to tomorrow.

Hi nancy, thank you for replying. I do feel a little better everyday, I just wanna make sure im.not missing out on the Water & Protein. My doctor stressed the importance of 30ccs of water every 15 min & to make sure in between im drinking my protein since protein aids in the healing process. They also gave me the pneumonia shot & ive started my period today so im all over the place lol.
