Where the May sleevers i just got my date!

[sunkiss713 6]

So what do you do for it?

Pretty much get 90 grams of Protein in and 64 oz of fluid!!! I saw Dr Cirangle today and he was really mad at me cuz Ive only been getting 40 gr of protein in and 33 of fluid! But really your body just compensates for the lack of sugar!

I use nectar unflavored in a bunch of stuff.

I use nectar unflavored in a bunch of stuff.

How do you use it? I need the extra Protein - how are you mixing it? What proportion? Is there an after taste! Any advice is much appreciated.

I put it in some homemade Soup I made...just have to be careful it's not too hot or it gets clumpy and gross. I mix it in chicken stock especially the first few weeks. It has no flavor at all. Comes with a scoop, but smaller than the other nectar scoops. One scoop is 1/2 the normal nectar scoop. When I make smoothies with fruit I use half unflavored and half flavored nectar because I want to taste the fruit.

You could add it to Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce, almond or soy milk or regular (I seem to be having lactose issues.)

I use the unflavored to give me the needed protein when I'm eating "regular" food.< /p>

It is lumpy sometimes, but no flavor at all.

It's been a bit since someone posted so here goes. I was sleeved on June 28. So I'm out about 12 days. My first day was very very bad. I'm allergic to a lot of medications some of those are the ones they give you for vomiting. I vomited most all of the first day but slowly it got better. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I started walking in the hospital and have not stopped. I try to walk 1/2 to 1 mile every day. No matter what. I have not found a Protein Drink that i tolerate. I have tried a lot. I do my best to get Protein in with other foods. For the most part i do well with fluids. It is most definitely a change. I'm very happy that i had the surgery. When it got close to my surgery date I got very nervous but I'm glad i went ahead. I can see my future. A much more healthy and active future. As of now i have lost about 26 lbs. I hope everyone is doing well. Here is to the new and healthier us.

I am three weeks out from surgery, and I've already reached a stall and gained a couple pounds. I don't see how this is since I'm eating so much less. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting frustrated!!!

Don't be frustrated! I had the same thing happen to me. I lost 20, then gained 10, now I lost the 10 plus more. I forget what it is called, but it happens around the 3 week mark because of some sort of cell. I think they are Water cells that weight roughly 3-5lbs and the body puts them back on. There's a thread in here somewhere about it. But you will quickly break the stall and see the scale drop. Also, be sure to take measurements. While I was not losing pounds, and had gained some, I was still dropping inches. I have not updated my ticker or put my inches up cause I've been busy, but I have lost around 20 inches.

Thank you so much for the advice. I don't want to get frustrated, but it's been difficult. It's been about a week. Your advice really helped. I'll take my measurements tonight and keep track of those. I know I'm probably losing inches even though I've gained some weight. Thanks again!! I feel much better now knowing I'm not alone.

I drop 17 pounds after surgery but since Friday it seemed to stop.. the scale is the same and I'm kind of gaining too... =( glad to hear that is normal.. I'm so looking forward to see that scale dropping!!

My surgery was on May 21st, and I lost 13 lbs by June 1st. Since then, I haven't lost a pound and have fluctuated up and down, its been very discouraging because my calories are so low, I haven't weighed today yet, hoping for better results. Still having trouble getting all my fluids in.

I'm feeling the same way. I'm having a lot of problems getting my fluids and Protein. I'm trying not to get frustrated, but it's very difficult. I'm going to take some of the other's advice and keep faith and try to get my fluids in. Good luck to you too!!! Keep me posted!

Finally passed my stall and 3 more pounds down. Thanks everyone for the support!!!
