I was just curious to see what some people would/could share about their experiences defying their surgeon or nutritionist or bariatric program? Do you regret it? This is in no way to encourage anyone to stray from their specific program. I was just curious considering all the vastly different expectations between programs and doctors.

Today I am two weeks post op and am on puréed. However, I still need at least two Protein shakes a day for me to hit my protein goal. I guess since I've been on liquids for three weeks now (one pre-op), every single Protein shake makes me gag. And the ones that I can actually get down are too high in calories and low in protein. I've tried unflavored Protein powder in Soups and broths but the taste of that makes me sick too. Any ideas on how to get my protein in? Either with puréed or some miracle drink?

I actually just tried something very similar but that sounds much easier! Thanks!

I am 2 weeks post op and feel the exact same thing! I can chug Water and Protein shakes all day without problem, so much so I think i may be overdoing my protein. However now I'm at the point where I'm starving constantly and the only thing that makes it go away is drinking some Protein Shakes because they literally make me want to gag! So for me it's a trade off between either starvation or disgust Oh how I can't wait to eat actual food

I'm 2 weeks out and have lost about 7.5 pounds Highest weight was 207. Pre op diet got me down to 200 on the day of surgery.

So jealous!

Leggings are the best kind of pants

I get a flash headache in the back center of my head when I swallow too much or too fast. It goes away fairly quickly though. It's odd and I couldn't find any information on it. Anyone else experience this?

I'm looking for a good unflavored protein powder. I'm currently using Unjury and am not really a fan. It gives my liquids a creamy/foamy texture that doesn't sit well with anything that isn't sweet. What would yall reccomend???

I actually do experience that same back pain simultaneously. I've heard this is common with the lap band because they think it punches a nerve. Don't know what could cause this with the sleeve.

I went to my seminar on a Wednesday and had the surgery the Thursday after. It was 8 days for me. I was self pay so that obviously was a huge factor.
