  1. So I've tried a few Protein drinks, EAS Myoplex, EAS lean, Premier, Muscle Milk, and I hate them, all of them, they taste incredibly bad to me, any suggestions would be amazing! I'm almost a month out and need to get the protein in. So frustrated because the nutrition places around me don't really like to give out samples just shakers and t-shirts when you spend a gazillion dollars in their store HELP!

    Coke / Pepsi

    More power too you. Have a sip for me.WHAT!?!?!?! You trying to stretch my sleeve or kill me!??!?! Your sleeve can absolutely stretch but not from soda, soda can cause discomfort but I hear of sleevers using a sip or two of coke for gas relief but they say not to use Pepsi, just coke, and if you can to get it from a fountain or a 2 liter so it's not too carbonated. I'm about a month out and miss soda a lot but right now I miss foods I never even used to eat lol still got loads of head hunger happening.

    Drinking

    It's been 9 days since surgery (12/17), and I'm so thirsty! But drinking is still very uncomfortable. Does anyone else have this problem? I eat a lot of Popsicles but it doesn't help me with the hunger. My lips are now chapped :-(

    Drinking

    I only sip, no gulping or anything like that. I eat Popsicles which count as liquid intake along with jello but even sips hurt :-/
  5. I'm sure you're fine. Check out bariatriceating.com they have a 48 hour reset for those who have truly stretched their sleeve. They also have tons of recipes and samples. I was frustrated cause 2 days home I hadn't lost much but when you first come home from the hospital you have a lot of water weight from all the fluids. Don't weigh yourself again until your doctor visit. Keep up the great work!
  6. Sounds like you're doing great. I don't drink any plain water because it hurts but at my post op visit my surgeon said that was normal and no worries as long as I'm drinking something (decaf tea, crystal light, any zero calorie non-carbonated drink really). I had my surgery 12/17 I was 302 day of surgery I'm now 278 as of yesterday. I drink a lot of broth and live off of Popsicles as drinking is still a bit difficult. I can scramble an egg and eat about 3 bites. You shouldn't eat more than 1-2 oz. even if you can tolerate it because you will stretch your sleeve. Sleeves take 8-12 weeks to heal that's why the diet is so important. Keep up the great work and no worries! Love the name by the way!
