Panda Express!! Kids meal with mixed veggies and string bean chicken. Chicken has 170 caslories and 15g protein for a regular serving! I know the sodium isnt good, but a good choice any how!

Ate one 3.5 oz sugar free lime jello for dinner and sipped 3 oz of my protein shake during the day plus a couple of sips of warm chamomille tea. Yay Progress! :-)

Day 6 post op and I still have gas pains and coughing up phlegm. I wighed on the scale yesterday and I gained 1.5 lbs!! I'm bummed. I think it is due to all the iv fluids they gave me in the hospital as I was dehydrated. I'm able to drink 1 protein shake a day which is what is recommended by my NUT. I walked a little yesterday but noticed I got tired quickly. Also, I had a cup of organic chicken broth and sugar free pudding last night. I felt SO bloated afterwards. Big mistake...

Is anyone one post op 2 weeks and having problems keeping up with the 73 grams of protein a day! and still have to drink liquids? when do I eat?

O my why me... My hair is starting to fall out, really this has to happen too. It is hard getting protein in, water, etc. etc. I need to work harder.

Been sipping protein/liquids all day. I know we are suppose to but is this ok? I feel like its a lot. Still not at protein goal though, just feel like I am always drinking something.

Happy Valentines my sweetheart sleevers!!!! I think I am gonna celebrate with an Atkins Chocolate Protein Shake lol <3

Had surgery yesterday 2/8. Discharged today. Tons of gas pain, uncomfortable and trying to down clears/ protein.

I made a really yummy protein shake tonight for dinner. Chocolate protein powder, sugar free chocolate/vanilla pudding, a small banana, and almond milk. I hope it counts as just a shake, cuz by the time I got it out of the blender it was all liquid...hmm..well I am counting it as a full liquid & not as a cheat. LOL A girl has gotta have some flavor!

I am FAILING! I am hungry a lot and secondly I want to eat all the time and I am craving sweets and eating them. I can almost eat the 2 cups of serving size anything. I have gained 5-8 pounds back and I want to stop. My goal is to lose 10 lbs but I want to eat all the time. I drink my water, protein & eat my veggies & protein. I have a support group through Kaiser that meets once a month. I can not afford to go to Weight Watchers meetings and the last Overeaters Anno. was depressi...

I hate these protein shakes! My surgery is April 5th Im excited just struggling to drink these shakes and to think after surgery more shakes for weeks. Overwhelmed.

My first day back at work. Drank 2 protein shakes, had sugar free jello and yogurt, decaf coffee and walter

Crab sushi and summer roll for supper. Life is good! (and full of protein!)

Starving on my pre-op...PROTEIN!!!!!!

Just had some soup and a protein drink, and I feel so sick! I ate too much.....Wish I could throw up...

Morning coffee mixed with my ready to drink protein shake = hot mocha! Yummy...

5 days post-op feeling jet-lagged some... Getting plenty of fluids & protein. A little incisional-type pain but glad i had sleeve done instead of lap-band...

I don't think my body got the memo...I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST LOL!!!! I need to send it a message. For the next week, back to basic: Five protein shakes and a lean meal + 1 1/2 hour exercise. Time to get things rolling again!

Feeling positive today. The scale hasn't moved in a few weeks but I know what I need to do. I am upping my protein and seeing how that affects it. Going out tonight and actually looking forward to socializing. It's a whole new me.

Spoke at Options tonight ...I was happy to see that most of the class is going with sleevie yayyyy!

Today, I feel good. Getting up & down seemed to be the worst esp.with our mattress,boxspring on the floor. I feel good esp with the gas leaving.That was the pain I had. I'm having a good milkshake with protein now(yummy).

Hi my fellow sleevers, 3 weeks post on Monday... Today@ work, I noticed when I had a few sips of my protein shake, it made me feel kinda puky, so I decided to not push it. And this afternoon, I had some Isopure, it did the same thing:( Does anybody know why that is?

I am so struggling with eating! I thought the mushies would help but everything tastes yuk! I'm sick of protein drinks. They either give me the runs or make my stomach turn. The mushies almost immediately give me the runs. I long for some "normal" food. Nothing fancy, but just "real." Anyone go through this?!

My doctor wants me to go on all clears until next week- clears??? OH GOD. And he just called in a stronger nausea medication for me... How am I gonna get in my protein? Will I be ok????
