Question For The Guru Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

At the beginning I drank one in the morning and one at night. I mixed 3 scoops of Protein powder, each had 10 grams of Protein, with 14 ounces of Water. When I was on soft foods I would add a scoop of the powder to pudding, or yogurt to get more protein during the day.

Now, 11 months out, I still drink one a day, in the morning, with 3 scoops of powder and 2 Tbs flax seed. I do this because my sleeve doesn't like food in the morning and it tolerates the drinks well and because I am one of the rare people that actually like my protein drink!

I'm one of the worst about Protein Shakes - I don't use them at all, but I was told by my Dr today that I'm not getting my Protein in so now I HAVE to have at least 1 a day, with milk since I don't do that either...

I drink one every morning. If I am working out intense like, I will have another one immediately following.

Premier Protein shakes from costco. They rock.

Right now I am drinking 3 Protein drinks a day preop I really like Spiru-Tein they have several flavors to choose from. I use milk in mine have not had the courage to try Water yet but I am on the liquid diet right now so I do not think the milk is going to hurt me.

I used one a day for the first 12 months, now once in a while when I need more Protein and less carbs. I also mix them into greek yogurt for a protein boost.

I drank two a day at first, then down to one a day, then just when I travelled and didn't get enough Protein in. Now when I travel I usually do get enough Protein. I haven't had one in more than a month. I keep the powder around for if I travel or if I get sick and don't feel like eating.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
