  1. Hi. I was sleeved on Nov 24, 2014. Realized I had to do something when I turned 60 last June and hit 325 lbs. After going through all the hoops, my surgery took place and I (survived), not only the surgery, but the 6 weeks following (Clear liquids, moist & mushy and soft). Started on regular foods last week. I weighed 265 at my one month checkup. My two questions relate to the Vitamin supplements and Protein supplements. I've tried 3 different Calcium citrate and just cannot tolerate them. I gag and subsequently vomit every time I take them. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding the calcium supplement? I have no problem with my B-12, Multivitamin and Iron. Next question has to do with protein supplements. Try as I may, I cannot get enough protein in daily. Which protein powders or supplements do you suggest? I've tried Muscle Milk light milk chocolate, which isn't too bad as long as it's frozen (it tastes like a shake). But I'm thinking of getting something I can add to my food plan so that I can get at least the 60-80 gm of protein in daily. Hopefully something that doesn't taste awful. And how the heck do you drink 64 oz of Water daily when you cannot drink 30 minutes before or after each meal??? That's three 90 minute intervals during which you cannot drink. I'm lucky if I drink 40 oz. Suggestions???
