This is my problem I never could drink the protein drinks and became very dehydrated right from the start, the clinic I went wasn't a lot of help for it was a new one and really didn't know what they were doing! I had to surf the web just to keep my head above water and survive. My problem now is I have lost so much muscle mass I can hardly walk around I look like a skeleton, just taken a shower is such a chore! it takes all my strength, I can't get all the protein need from food can anyone help me!!

Thank you MS Twist you are the first one who gets me! I have had blood work done by my general doctor and he helps me more than the surgeon and the clinic. I just wish every day wasn't a struggle to survive I didn't think it was going to be like this at my age.

Thanks for every bodies response and I have seen my surgeon and my Doctor about my problem. I can not drink the Protein shakes, leaving me with trying to try to get enough protein through my intake of food which is difficult. I have had four total knee replacements and they have not worked and left me with massive scar tissue damage which in turn cause 24 hour pain. I also have a bad heart and this is why I had the sleeve to get all the weight off me and get healthy but if you can't walk it's hard! I thought losing 50 pounds would help my knees but NO lol that didn't happen, but I;m more concerned about the muscle mass lose from not have the protein I just can't drink it !!!!!!!
