yeah. I'm having NO problem sucking down large amounts of liquids. And I am now "liquids out" to prove it. Immodium is my new best friend.

Guess I am still bloaty and stuff because I am only down like 2 lbs from my pre surgery weight. Annoying, but I know weight loss is not really the main focus right now.

Am now having trouble getting Protein in because my tastes have changed and Isopure is no longer tolerable. And the New Whey Protein bullets ....ACK. That stuff is like syrup!!!! I gagged. I don't know what else to try. I had a sample packet of unjury chicken broth. I didn't think I had the Water too warm, but it turned into a solid and had to go down the disposal. URK.

I am out of protein options. I'll have to go to the GNC tomorrow to see if they have anything else I can try.

Any suggestions?

I've been using the Body Fortress Super whey Protein shots from Walmart. They are a little thick, but only 2.9oz and the 2.9oz are worth not feeling like I did on Thursday and almost passing out in the shower.

They aren't super sweet, so that is why I can tolorate them. I wouldn't call them Syrup, more like melted Jello to me.

I'm MAKING myself do one for Breakfast, lunch and dinner for a total of 78g of Protein. It really hasn't been THAT bad, it just isn't as pleasant as other things I would prefer.....but I can do anything for 2.9oz.

What if you mixed yoru protein shot with some crystal light or something similar? It would help with the thickness.

I can't wait to start full liquids!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
