I was sleeved April 25. I was never an apple juice drinker, but i love it now. I drink the lite apple juice. sugar free.

I drink a lot of crystal light,& zero Vitamin waters.

I just gained an appetite Friday, along with the appetite I am thirstier as well.

I'm only able to drink 1 high Protein ensure a day and that is only 25 grams of Protein.

I've been eating about 1/2 can Of 98% free cream of Ckn Soup a day.

Any other suggestions on Soups? I feel like the crm of Ckn Soup has a ton of sodium,& I wnt something different.

Hello everyone, After writing a few days ago that I am tolerating liquids well, now I am experiencing feelings of flushing (for lack of a better word) and slight nasuea. It figures. I actually wrote a separate post to see if others experienced this. My surgeons office said this happens and is normal. Thanks to MGM for the advice about the Protein packets. I am definitely going to check that out. I can't imagine ever taking in anough protein at this point in my journey. Hopefully it keeps getting better. But I must only be taking in about 100 to 200 calories a day. Surprised I am still walking around. I guess you can live off your fat. LOL
