December sleevers! hows your progress coming along?

Sleeved December 13. I am with everyone who says the Protein Drinks are terrible. I've tried several, and just keep choking them down in order to keep my Protein up. I have tried adding different things to vanilla, and some of them seem to help. It is just so sickly sweet that I can't stand it. However, a 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa (cooking, unsweetened) takes the edge off, as does about the same amount of Decaf instant coffee. Makes it a little bit easier to take. Good luck all. I will say that it gets easier. I'm still having trouble with getting all my liquid and protein in, but less trouble the farther out I get from surgery.

i was sleeved on the 20th of December and am 2 weeks post op! It is a real struggle getting all my liquids and Protein in. I'm barely getting all my liquids and maybe a fraction of my protein. I have found a shake that seems to go down a bit easier: Premier Protein shakes. They are at costco and are literally saving my life lol. I also struggled with Constipation. Today is the first I've had a BM since surgery. Getting better though. 21 pounds down in 2 weeks. I won't compain!!!

I was sleeved on December 12th and have also struggled with Protein. Am now getting in 1 costco Premier (30 g) and a half bottle of Isopure (20g) in addition to the small amounts in broth. Wasn't losing much post op but have hit 1 pound a day x 3 in a row now. Thanks to all who encouraged me between week 2 and 3. Tracking my intake on "myfitnesspal" is definitely helping me. It is so easy and has the nutritional info for Protein Shakes and even exercise info from my Wii fit. Down 13 post op now. Not as much most but I know it will keep coming off!
