If I never see another Protein Drink again it will be too soon; although I still have a whole case that I plan to take back for refund and a couple in the fridge. I absolutely hate them and the ones I do like have too much sugar and my sleeve doesn't like that; or, some are made with milk and cause too much gas, cramping etc. Most take like sludge LOL. I'm also pretty sick of Soup too, of any type. I'm 4 weeks out and today, I decided to get my Protein in by eating soft foods that I will either chew until they are Water or, process them in the food processor if needed. Will see how it goes. Had some sushi today, not much but my sleeve has been able to tolerate it so far. Today, just feeling fatigue and my back in bothering me a little. I guess from being so inactive for the last month. I guess the feeling for me today is "I'm sick of being sick, I want to be normal again,"

I can relate to both of you! 16 days post op and sick of being sick and not being able to get in my Protein. I started feeling really strange due to lack of protein so I took a trip to the Vitamin Shoppe today and bought something called New Whey Protein..it has 42 grams of protein and is much smaller than the Isopure drinks so hopefully this will help until I can start having real food. Good luck to the both of you!

When was your surgery? Mine was 1/18. I had a premier Protein shake today. I got them at costco. They are only 11 oz. and 30g of protein. They also taste pretty good.

My surgery was 1/11. I think I'll try those once I'm out of my Protein Shots. I thought it would be a piece of cake to get in my 80 grams of daily protein but its sooo hard that I'm lucky if I can get in half.

      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.
