Deeda I had the Protein Shots, threw them away. They made me gag they were so horrible! Since its not all whey Protein, its a mix of collagen whey and casein, your body isn't going to absorb it very well. But, its better than nothing in the first few days if that's all you have and if you can stomach them!

Those Protein Shots were horrible! I liked blue Isopure with Water and pomegranate mio.

Today is day 3 for me (unless we count surgery day...?) and is even better than yesterday. I only used two half doses of pain meds yesterday. I was exhausted after a few hours of being up and moving around, but short naps help.

I even somehow slept on my stomach last night without realizing it!

Hi all, just checking in. I was sleeved march 18th. I had my first egg today, yum. I ate about half and felt really full. But that went away in 15 mins or so. Only down 5 pounds, but feeling good and I'm sure the weight will come off in time. 13 pounds counting pre OP loss. I have really good energy level. Went to an amusement park with the kids yesterday non stop from 10-5. Happy to be able to function normally! Prayers for everybody getting done today!

Well my Nut told me today that I wasn't getting enough Protein in. She doesn't want to advance me to any food until I get my protein in. Stopped at The Vitamin Shoppe today on the way back from my Dr. appointment and sampled the Isopure. It wasn't that bad on its own so I bought a few flavors and will try it with some crystal light. Wish me luck cause I really want to advace to some soft foods. :wacko:

How much Protein does she want you to be getting? I'm doing this on my own so I don't know what is the right amount

      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.
