I was sleeved on Oct 4th so 5 days out. I am making my own shakes using The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes (Volume 1) for all the recipes. Because I am not on vitamins yet, I do add a packet of Carnation Instant Breakast No sugar added OR a slim fast dry packet to my shake for added nutrition. Am using Fairlife milk (much more nutrients) for the milk. The recipe book is wonderful and the shakes are delicious. I then divide the amount up into 3 cups and sip throughout the day.
