6 months out and 100 pounds down. Sw 275 Cw175

I love genepro!! You can put it in anything hot or cold and it's 30gr protein in just a tablespoon!!

I was sleeved in July and I have drank 4xs since mid September and I'm still loosing! Oh and It hasn't made me an alcoholic so that's a plus!! I drink vodka with water and squeeze the flavored drops in it. My favorites are strawberry lemonade or fruit punch. I do feel the effects a little quicker but not much of a difference in my overall tolerance since before the surgery.

I have no issues with getting my protein in. I drink premier protein shakes and I found this amazing tasteless odorless protein powder called genepro. They sell it on amazon. Kinda pricey but it's 30 grams of protein for only a tablespoon! It's soooo much better than the huge scoops from the other brands and it has more grams of protein. You can also put it in hot or cold! I put it in everything. Coffee , eggs, and shakes to name a few. I actually just made an awesome pumpkin pie protein shake....have to be creative to keep my head hunger happy and still lose the pounds! Plus I don't want to lose my hair!! I hope this helps!! Good luck!

My doctor said that my protein shakes and jello count as part of my liquids. Are you counting your shakes? If not maybe you should call and ask?

I had my surgery on July 30 so I'm a little over 3 weeks out and getting any where from 450-600 calories a day. Is this enough? I am getting 75-95 grams of protein a day and pretty much all of my h2o but I'm worried with not having enough calories I'm not going to lose.

Yes! I had it for a couple weeks A heating pad helped a lot and doing arm circle exercises and walk walk walk. Eventually it went away. It was the worst part for me though!

I am 6 days post opt and the gas pains in my right rib cage and right shoulder are killing me. I can't breath deep or barely move. I am walking, walking, walking but it doesn't seem to be helping. Anyone have some cures or ideas to make me feel better??? Please????

I am scheduled for the July 30th......that's 6 freaking days away!!! I am filled with so many emotions and excitement I can barely sleep!! My life is about to change forever and I can't wait!!! I am not, however, excited about another 6 days on the pre surgery diet due to the fact I run a Mexican food restaurant. Talk about pure torture but I'm strong and my employees are being encouraging when I'm there. I CAN do this!!!

I'm scheduled for the 30th too!! Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your journey! We can support each other along the way!
