I haven't gotten near the Protein in that I need and it is obvious since I've stalled. I tried the Carnivor shot and it has 50 grams of protein for 4 ounces. It tasted to me like I was drinking a fruit punch flavored liquid cow (tail end included)!!! It was so tart that now I have killer indigestion! The trial and error part of a new sleeve sucks donkey tail!!!!!

Your description is funny, haven't had my sleeve yet. Surgery is on the 12th. Hope you find a way to get in your Protein.< /p>

Have you tried any of the unflavored protien powders? I cannot say they taste fantastic, but you can add them to any and everything, Soup, broth, you name it. I find this really helps me to stay on track with my Protein requirements. Also, how does your sleeve tolerate seafood? Seafood has one of the biggest 'bang' for your buck as far as protien to serving size ratio that I've found, and is one of the easiest (for me at least) to digest since it's not as dense as chicken or beef. Good luck!!

I have not tried the unflavored yet. I think that is my next choice. We went out to eat last night at Red Lobster and I was able to eat 1 crab leg, 1 shrimp and 1 tiny scallop and u was full, but it was the first real food I have been able to keep down. I told my husband that we needed to buy stock in Red Lobster if that Is the only thing I can tolerate. Be warned and watch the stock market for a sudden spike!!!

omg your description is so funny! LOL!!!!!!

I think this process will be mostly about trial & error and that maybe as time goes on tastes will change. Maybe eventually you will actually crave fruit punch flavored liquid cow. Ha!

No doubt having a sense of humor about it all will be very helpful :)

Best of luck to you!

      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.
