It has been a little over a week since I underwent the sleeve. Wondering what the heck I have done to myself. I can't find a Protein I can tolerate. All the dairy protein whey's make me want to puke. Which Is so weird because I was able to tolerate them presurgery. Now the simple smell makes me go BLAHHHH. I have tried the green tea Isopure and it tastes like dirty socks smells... I was so excited about a new start, a healthier me - but now I feel lethargic and uncertain that I made a wise decision. I can't seem to hold anything down in my stomach - except chicken broth. My sense of smell is like when I was pregnant and everything is intensified. I am down 26 lbs (that includes the 10 lbs pre surgery). I am a very optimistic person - yet I just don't know what to do... Yesterday I called my dietitian and she spoke with my surgeon who said even though it is early, I could try pureed chicken or tuna. So I tried tuna and my stomach felt like I had "quick sand in it." Between the cramping and reflex. It feels like so much longer than a week and a day. HELP. Feeling trapped in a body I'm unfamiliar with...

I couldn't do the Protein Drinks either. Try plain lowfat Greek yogurt; add fruit flavored Protein Powder (I like Jay Robb pina colada from GNC) to fruit Jello mix and prepare the normal way; add some vanilla or chocolate Protein powder to vanilla or chocolate pudding mix and prepare the normal way.

Protein powder is awful! I do the whey slammers because of the size (3.7oz). It tastes like crap but I can do it fast. Remember this is only temporary!

Going to be heading out to GNC in about an hour. Thank you for the ideas - at this point I'll try anything...

I can relate about the smells & tastes being too much! I had my surgery the second week of Srpt 2012 & I've lost 51 lbs. so far---slowly but surely. I eat pretty much what I want, just smaller amounts & losing 1-2 pounds/week. Hang in there! it gets better.

I was sleeved on the 26th of December and today was the first day I have felt normal! It will get better, the Protein shake I can only drink a little over 1/2 but a couple of days ago I was crying saying what have I done to my self. So I'm praying for you and your recovery!

I think everyone has that feeling in the beginning even if they won't admit it. I did. I gets better. I had to eat scrambled eggs a week after my surgery because everything else was horrible. Now I eat and drink anything I want. There's no going back so look to the future. This will all be a distant memory soon.....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
