How Are All The May Sleevies Holding Up?



Recommended Posts

So far my favorite Protein Shake has been the Premier Protein (30g) and only 1g of sugar! They taste much like a Yahoo (when my kids were much younger). Sams carries the chocolate but I understand that costco carries the vanilla as well. (strawberry is available on line). I did bring this in to my Dr and he said it was a great one. Since it does not carry enough of the Vitamins I just need to search for a good chewable Multivitamin. Plan to stick with this one, my kids have even started grabbing them on their rushed mornings to get their Protein in.

My NUT hates premier. She says that if you go ingredient by ingredient and calculate the amino acids you only get 8 grams of Protein per shake. Many NUTs have written to the company repeatedly to tell them that they have false advertising but they will not change. Not sure if it true but I stay away from them. She says to add half a scoop of unflavored protein to it to beef t up and then you are good.

I am doing great so far. Just having trouble getting in all my liquids. Had a dizzy spell this morning, almost fainted, so Dr is thinking it is that I am a bit dehydrated & need to up my fluids.

My poor little tummy is full though!

Would anyone like to make or join a May 2012 Sleevers group on Facebook? Then we could all chat with each other on there, live chat if we wanted etc.?

I saw there is the option to make it a secret group too, so others could not see the group or who is in it. As I know not all of us have told all our facebook friends yet & may want to keep that under wraps.

Let me know & if there is enough interest I can set one up, or someone else can do that if they want.

You can find me on facebook too, if you want to add me as a friend... Sharon Ivanauskas.

Sounds really great. Yes, I have told everyone who is important to me but I'm FB friends with so many high school friends and even a couple of ex boyfriends that I would rather keep it secret.

Okay, I think to add you to the Facebook group, I would need to be your friends. Unless anyone else knows how to do it another way?!

So maybe people can friend me on facebook & also send me a message saying that you want to join the May 2012 sleevers group. That way I will remember who is my sleeve friends! I will go set it up now!

As the group is secret you can't search for it, or you could, but it won't come up!

      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.
