Thanks I will check out the coco protein!!

All the protein shakes that I consumed pre-surgery are just too dang sweet for me post-surgery! So I have been drinking Isopure. Do any of you have any other protein recommendations?

I just finished watching 6 seasons of the Good Wife on Amazon prime! Addicting!! Season 7 premieres on regular tv next month.????

Hi all! I had my sleeve done on 8/11/15....beginning was a little rough for me. Got a little too dehydrated and was having some bad palpitations. Started feeling better once I was able to get 2L of fluids from ER. Also due to medication allergy, I didn't have anything good to control my pain. I am currently on soft foods...doing very well with foods. Just cannot handle any Protein drinks. Too thick and disgustingly sweet! I liked them pre-surgery very well!! September 2014 I weighed in at 275lbs.....Day of surgery (8/11/15) I was 254 and (Today 9/15/15) I am 236. Right now I am noticing more of inches that are dissappearing than the pounds. My dr warned me to not get discouraged if I did not see any lbs dropping between my 2 week post-op and next appt (9/24) because I lost more than what he thought I would during the first two weeks. However, he said after the 6 week mark lbs should start dropping again. Even with the warning....I have still been discouraged. I am new to this support group...just signed up tonight! I felt it was time to reach out to other people, besides my hubby or parents (who all have had the sleeve). Sometimes it helps to talk to strangers in the same boat!

Looks like you wrote this post a while back but no one has answered. Are you taking any of the Thrive products? I have been taking Thrive since February 2015 but did not have my sleeve done until August 2015. I did not take my thrive during the first few weeks but I am now getting back to taking it again. I have not really seen any research on this topic yet. Have you found anything? My husband had his sleeve done back in November 2014 and is currently taking Thrive with no issues. As well as my mother.... I would be interested to know if you have found out anything since you made this post?
