I’m having a terrible time getting all my protein in. Where do you get the body armor light drinks? What kind of isopure do you put in. I got two bags of isopure, vanilla and plain I mix with water & I can’t take it. Ugh.. I’m afraid my low protein levels are gonna hurt the whole purpose of getting the sleeve. Please help! 77 g is awesome.

Green Tea is right as far as I see on here. The first time I came on here & 1st thing I read, somebody was shaming people for gaining weight during Covid lockdown. Green tea- you sure did stick up for every pound people gained all over the world due to Covid. You are just the best lawyer ever ! the way you stood up to that poster. They couldn’t even keep up your questioning because they knew they were so wrong. I admire you! I’m so hiring you if I ever need a lawyer! I noticed they took that post down. I’ve only seen a few others shaming but it’s usually the same poster. I’m pretty new here but otherwise I find real support from real people who care very much in supporting others. Please Don’t give up. P.S. I am having trouble filling profile after pushing to do later. Should I reregister with a different user name so I can put my info?

I so agree. Because of Co-vid My husband dropped me off and picked me up late the next day. I was so doped up and sleepy, I don’t think I would have wanted anyone there. The nurses were wonderful walking me up and down the hall & the bariatric Coordinator came in and went over stuff & gave me info & then the nutritionist. I mostly slept & got used to sipping water.

Thank you so much. I am having issues filling profile bc I pushed “do later” so I may have to use other email & start over. Yes, as soon as that Persian cat somebody abandoned & was hiding in my basement was taken by my neighbor & she vacuumed everything my throat & eyes stopped swelling shut & opened pretty quick just very week. I find that the only way I can get the protein right now is Premier protein I just found it. & I can get more than 2 tablespoons but I can do more than 2 tablespoons of water & my booklet says not more so I hope that doesn’t stretch my stomach . I had sleeve Sep 8. My main thing now is I need to get moving immediately. power walking & swimming a half hour is good but I’m too weak to go to Zumba or elliptical. So I just need to add 15 minutes to the 30 & so on. & put weights on my wrists. It’s a shame it will be too cold to swim soon. Oh & the crystal light is helping. Thank you so much & will work on profile!

Sorry, I’m new here and thought I was thought of as controlling but was trying to show 1% scary things happen so it’s not worth it is all. I ate a slice of turkey lunch meat and chewed forever. Sorry thought I came off as scaring people but the u-tube I put can scare people so I shouldn’t have. Television personality was fine after . I don’t think she was ready but wanted tv show so she probably learned her lesson. Doubt she’ll eat Taco Bell or pizza again. I’m just having trouble getting protein and water in bc was down for 2 weeks so sick. Can only get half an ounce of fluids so I’ll call surgeon tomorrow bc had sep 9 th. He knows I was I’ll tho. I know, I can hardly get an ounce of water down & protein makes me ill. Tomorrow’s a new day.

I’m sorry, I actual am on full liquids & didn’t mean to control anyone. It’s just kind of dangerous. My surgeon put me back from soft foods back to full liquids & I thought it might help people to try to see if it’s head hunger. Didn’t mean to seem like a know it all or controlling at all because I cheated. I won’t post anything or answer again. Sorry again.

I’m glad I read this because I wasn’t told the hunger glands came back! I was set back 2 weeks because I’m deathly allergic to cats & my eyes & throat almost completely swelled shut so I didn’t exercise for 1st 2 1/2 weeks. I only lost 19 lbs including pre op shakes but I started walking and swimming yesterday. I hope I make it past honeymoon stage because my surgeon said I should have lost minimum 35 pounds in 4 1/2 weeks. I’m still having trouble with water & shakes bc until the abandoned cat hiding in house was removed, I was pretty out of it. So I’m really just starting. So the lack of hunger only lasts 2 months? Ugh . I’m just glad I finally had the sleeve surgery so I have it in my head to really start serious again. It’s weird I didn’t lose laying in bed not taking much in because swollen throat. Second that Persian cat was removed to neighbors I was better fast. Thanks for everyone’s questions and advice on here.

Sorry I meant to quote KrissyNY. My food booklet is confusing also. My profile won’t let me finish & I’m not sure how to start a new question either just push on someone else’s to quote if anyone can tell me how. I’m missing something. Thanks

I’m so glad you’re okay but 6 days seems pretty soon. I don’t judge because 2 weeks out I ate a slice of turkey lunch meat. Chewed forever. I was on full liquids & Surgeon made me stay on it for 4 more days. Each of our WLS are like fingerprints, each person is different. What scared me into doing better is a TV show I like “Hot Mess House” & U-tube personality who does Clutterbug, & writes goals & day-timers Cassandra Aarssen almost died. Her liver started shutting down & she had to have her gallbladder out. She says towards the end it was because she ate Taco Bell and pizza. I know at one time or another we have all had something that’s not on surgeons list or had one bite too many, and almost everyone comes out okay but 1% may not. So we have to try to find something to stop the craving. I love the food before & after posts. Lots of good ideas on there. And thanks for y’all who are still on here to help us new WLS folks who are scared or need answers. Plus, It’s super nice of everyone who answers.

These ideas are not really hot but might help room temp. I Had sleeve sep 8. Had 2 week setback bc abandoned Persian snuck in & hid. Was so ill my eyes swelled shut. Saw surgeon Tues. He said it’s important to get lots of plain H2O each day. If you like idea In pics U Can get disposable shot glasses at liquor store/amazon. Its motivating knowing I can do in 2 sips. I add Lots of H2O to crystal light, SF hot cocoa watered down w/skim milk, SF jello. it’s runny but not near as sweet, low salt broth helps. But my saving grace is popsicles. U could put in blender with ice. I take H2O when I go out. Hope this is Helpful. He said Water also helps loose skin. Great motivation! Glad u have no pain. Sorry for typos & no caps Am Exhausted dealing with flood damage from TS Beta.

So I don’t deluge your post, If you’d like the rest of helpful info from my Bariatric Coordinator & Nutritionist just message me & I can send you pictures.

Here is the paperwork & fluid tray from my above post.

Hi Missy & All! Am new here too. Had surgery Sep 8 . Hospital gave me 64 pill containers. I fill a tray & keep close bc it is overwhelming! I even fill w/sugar free jello & yogurt. Sugar free popsicles are my saving grace! I keep a water pitcher close to refill because I can get really lazy. ( Only put that in case the mean, snarky guy on here replies hahaha!) U can Call Nurse or get plastic shot glasses at liquor store/Amazon or ketchup containers at fast food. No, bad trigger! DON’T do that! Amazon is better! (That will really get snarky guy going.omg! That character is funny if u haven’t experienced his dagger replies.) I gotta have humor bc cars are literally floating in street from Hurricane Beta. Haven’t seen or heard rain pelt down & flood like this since Harvey. Prayers for Texas please!! So glad I found this wonderful encouraging place!

Lisa, I can’t get fitness pal to let me put 500-600 calories. It keeps going back to 1,200 calls. Any clue how I change it?
