I was sleeved on 1/17/12 and I cant seem to get my Protein Shakes down... I can drink liquids fine and I have have tried everything under the sun... I started with a choc shake from muscle max, then Isopure from GNC (gross), then the vanilla shakes from costco (was ok at first)... How the heck can can I get Protein in??? I was thinking about trying an unflovered powder and geek yogurt with some fruit and make a smoothie...

try the EAS; they are not thick at all and they are the only ones I like now...

The EAS is very good, they are my go to when I don't feel like drinking a Protein Shake.< /p>

My NUT and Dr. scared me yesterday by saying If I dont get to eating and getting my nutrition in my body is going to go into starvation mode and then my metabolism will get more screwed up than it already is from all the previous yo-yo dieting I've done. I really didn't need 1 more thing to worry about :(. Has anyone else discussed the whole starvation thing with your dr?

I did this yesterday.

I also took 1/2 of a strawberry Protein Shake and added greek yogurt and blended for a smoothie and that came all right. It brought the sweetness of the shake down and the mellowed the tartness of the yogurt. I split it into two 'meals'. :)

Walmart has them and so does Shoprite. They are about $4.74 for a 4 pack. You can also get $1.00 off coupons at Thecouponclippers.com.

Sunday's paper, 1/22, had a $1.00 off coupon on any EAS product.

My doctor recommends the EAS AdvantEdge because they are only 100 calories, 3 carbs and 17gm of Protein. And...YUMMY.

Good Morning Sleevers! I can not believe that I was sleeved 6 days ago, I am a little lethargic at times but I contribute that to trying to do to much and only being on liquids..

I also have not found a Protein Drink that stays with me if you get my drift and I don't mean upchucking.. I have tried Chike, Isopure, Click... I have a bunch of Isopure I liked it in the beginning.. I am going to go back through them and systematically eliminate them, just in case it was a pre-op thing.. LOL though Chike is definitely out, I can't stand cold coffee therefore coffee flavors don't work for me.

Today is my last day on Full liquids then I get to have a pureed Diet, mashed potatoes never sounded so FANTASTIC.. LOL

haha, close ;)

I'm here! Just still trying to get a handle on everything. I was sleeved the 24th and I pretty much feel 100% fine now.

Eating is weird.. I have no idea how to tell if I'm full or not. (or what that even means now.)

I get gas, and burps a few times a day... but other than that, I'm good to go!

Wow! Your post-op goes fast compared to mine! Have you tried Premiere Protein? I don't know what i would have done preop without it! The Max Protein from SEI Nutrition is amazingly tasty too - neither is chalky or have an aftertaste. I'm still on Clear Liquids till tomorrow, then full liquids for a week, then mushies/purees for a week, then introduce soft, moist foods, then full foods at 5 weeks.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
