I was sleeved on May 21st, is anyone looking for a buddy to text/chat?

What are you guys eating!? Proteins?

I lost 40 pounds since surgery. I didn't have a preop diet so basically it's been all within the last month. I am still on the full liquid stage, however I did try some chicken and Beans, and it was okay, I felt fine. It's so weird cause then the next day I had tomato Soup and I feel like I'm overfull and the food is just sitting in my throat.

What are you guys eating!? Proteins?

I was on liquid for the first 3 days and then I have to do full liquid, including yogurts, puddings, etc, for FOUR weeks! Doesn't that sound too excessive? I saw my nutritionist today and told her that I tried a little bit of mashed potatoes, and she pretty much told me that I shouldn't start puree for another 2 weeks, despite my surgeon telling me that I cannot do any damage to the staples. I was sleeved on May 21st, by the way. I am also having such a problem getting in Protein. I heard a lot of people like the Premier Protein, chocolate flavor? Any suggestions? I have already spent so much money on different Protein shakes. I tried the isopure vanilla, which I hate (yuck), then I tried the isopure drinks, the fruit alpine, they were even worse, then I tried these coffee lattee flavored packets my nutritionist sold that I didn't like, and finally (today) I bought a pack of the pre-made shakes my nutritionist had in her office and they were good but they are expensive ($18 for 6!) and don't have as much protein as the premier, they only have 15g whereas the premier has 30g. Suggestions welcomed!!!

I started at almost the same weight, I think everyone's body is different. Some people loose quicker than others. I am almost two weeks out and I am down to 298. Are you still on full liquids? I am having such a hard time on the diet =(

I tried the isopure ones! They were gross! I can't get any protein in. I am on liquid/purée. But usually I eat about 2 Greek yogurts a day which have 12g of proteins. I am definitely not getting enough!

I tried the isopure too, and it's gross. So I went back to gnc and I got the premade isopures and they were worse (omg horrible)

I hate the protein shakes (isopure, the vanilla one) and the shakes given to me by the nutritionist! I had my surgery on the 5/21 and basically all I am having is half of a yogurt a day and some Gatorade to prevent dehydration, anyone have any tips???? Much needed! I'm down 20 lbs since I started my preop diet (5/14)

Me too, I'm definitely not getting enough to drink and I'm still in stage 1

Hey Guys, I got sleeved on the 21st. Everything went well in the hospital, no drains. In recovery, I did need the pain medicine, however now (at home), I've only taken it at night. I constantly feel full and am having issues taking in the required Protein and liquid. I am 4 days postop and I tried yogurt yesterday but since then I have felt unbelievably full and couldn't handle drinking Water. After the yogurt I couldn't eat or drink anything. Does this mean I stretched my sleeve? Maybe I pushed it too far? Anyone feel like this? Another thing, is it bad I keep sleeping on my belly? I also keep getting Charlie horses in my legs, anyone else get these? Thanks Jess

They said yogurt, puddings, and very thin purées are part of stage I. Has anyone else had yogurt this quickly? I think I am going to hold off on it since I was so full and became nauseous when I tried to drink after some time afterwards.
