How is everyone doing today? Yesterday i got 43g of Protein and 60 oz of Water. Took pain meds 5 Times and took a 15 minute walk. Last night was my best night of sleep, took pain meds before bed but didn't need any in the middle of the night. So far today I've taken one dose of pain meds and already got in 20g of protein. It only took me an hour to drink a slim fast. My goals for today are getting my 60g of protein, 60oz of fluids and go for a walk. I also want to get down to 3 doses of pain meds. Thinking about making some Jello to get used to things with a little more thickness.

I'm surprised your doctor lets you have Slim Fast. Mine said it was a no no because of the sugar. Glad to hear you are doing better!!

I'm April 22 also. I can't drink Slimfast either. Sugar too high! But, you do what you were told and keep up the good work!!

I'm drinking the low carb high Protein slim fast it has only 2g net carbs. It's a good thing I can tolerate them because i got the sample pack of the Syntrax cause i heard some people can't tolerate milk based stuff afterward and i haven't had one i like yet.

Hello! This is my first post, so I hope I'm replying correctly! I too was sleeved April 22nd, and I am not taking in anywhere near the Protein or Water you mentioned. I try to add Protein Powder to the Soup I eat, but I'm unable to take in more 5 or 6 tablespoons of soup/liquid at a time. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I keep a jug of Water with me everywhere I go even if it's just from the couch to the bed. I'm sipping constantly. I also had a cup of strained cream of chicken Soup tonight. I've only hit 46g of Protein but I've gotten my fluids in. I'm done for the night with food! I think I'll save the Jello for tomorrow! Gonna take pain meds and go to bed soon!

I haven't been good with the Protein. My doctor isn't concerned about it for the first 2 weeks. The main goal is to get liquid in

They told me try to follow the rule of 60:60. 60g of Protein 60oz of fluids. They told me it could take a couple weeks to get to that but that is the goal. I am on full liquids for 1-2 weeks depending on how i tolerate them. I also don't start my Vitamins and actigall until my post op check on Tuesday. I am taking my pepcid cause it's a small pill and B12 because it is sublingual.< /p>

I've read that getting the Protein in is so important because it keeps your energy up. GNC brand has 35mg each. I mix the vanilla with the chocolate and strawberry to cut the taste a little. So, I get 2 down and I feel good with that.

Question...

Does anyone feel colder than usual??

      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.
