Hi all! I'm 23 and got my sleeve 1 week ago (on 12/7). I've been keeping up with my vitamins and trying my best to meet my fluid intake (I drink water, electrolyte water and eat SF popsicles for meals), but I'm having trouble with protein supplements. When I was pre-op, I bought Isopure protein drinks (premade) and they tasted pretty good, but now post-op I can't stand the taste or after taste of them (same flavors as pre-op). This is causing me to not meet my protein goals at all, which is terrible and my body is definitely reacting to it (lots of aches and pains). I'm trying to stay away from the milky shakes since my stomach doesn't handle lactose well in high quantities, but if there's one that doesn't taste terrible or have a bad aftertaste then I'm willing to try it. Any advice to get to my goals? I was already a picky eater before the sleeve and now it's gonna be my downfall if I don't find something I like soon 🥲 Sent from my SM-G975U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh good, I'm glad! I haven't been able to meet my fluids or protein goals since I can't drink/ingest much in a short period (I feel gas bubbles in my chest, almost feels like heartburn). If I sip too much, it hurts a bit but I've started burping more so hopefully that goes away. I get the feeling 10x worse when I try to eat my SF popsicles, which sucks since it's the only thing getting me through the full liquids phase right now Sent from my SM-G975U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks so much everyone for your insights, this has all been really helpful! I'll try some the Unjury powder for now, maybe that'll help until I reach soft foods! Sent from my SM-G975U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
