Hi all,
I've been reading for a while, but decided it was time to break down and make my own account... I was sleeved on 3-7. Overall, things are going well. I have had very little pain or gas, and I have been able to advance my diet better than I expected. The biggest issues for me have been two fold: 1- sweet food tastes terrible! I hate the protein shakes, sugar free products, pudding, jello - all of it! It all tastes too sweet and like chemicals. I force myself to gag down a protein shake in the morning but that is really all I can do. I have been getting the rest of my protein from pureed eggs, chicken, cottage cheese and tuna. Thank goodness those have gone down well. I met my protein goal for the first time yesterday, which is okay with my surgeon, who wants the first weeks' focus to be liquids. 2- I am so tired! I have read lots of posts and know that is normal, but it is killing me. I just want some stamina back!
