I haven't tried them, but from what I've read people either love it or hate it. I've tried some of the 'unflavored' stuff. Unflavored my ass! I'll have to try the isopure, do you get it at GNC?

I live in fl, at GNC it's 89.99 if you have a Vitamin shoppe near you go there, 49.99. I like the unflavored isopure. I put it in my cream of chicken Soups etc. :) 5 days post op

I'm not talking about the powder. There's ready made drinks like Powerade or Gatorade. They retail for about $6 and is do worth it in my opinion. You get 40g of Protein in along with 20oz of liquid.< /p>

To chime in on the hungry vs full thing, I'm not sure I've felt actual hunger yet. And because I have yet to eat any real food, I'm not sure we will get a full feeling yet either.

Schavez I feel the same as u. I got sleeved March 12th so I am post op day 2. Lots of gas and bubbling. Can't tell when I am full or not. Don't know if it is cause of the gas. Had a Protein Shake, broth and some Water today. A little pudding too.

I actually had lasgna last night and after a few bites, I was full. I could definitely feel it. Had some spaghetti today and once again, knew when I was full. Tonight I had some blackened catfish. It only takes a few bites, but then I get the sensation that I'm full and I stop. Feeling great!

No. Day 1 - surgery day was Water only, day 2 - Clear Liquids, then stage 3 which is semi solids which is to last until 2 week post op, but no problems so my food is all moist and small bites. I'm not eating a lot of anything. I guess I have moved beyond semi-solids more than it recommended, but no problems.

I was sleeved on 3-8 too. It's not been a lot of fun trying to get Protein and enough liquids. I'm tired all the time but figure this will wear off when I get good at getting in the required amounts. I had my stitches out today which was awesome. Sometimes I think I'm hungry but am then unable to drink much or have more than a couple tiny bites of yogurt.

It really is a learning process. I'm very happy to have found some other March 8 sleevers:)

      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.
