I use the Premier Protein ready to drink shakes from Sams and costco. They are my favorite. At first I just made sure I got two shakes down a day and sips throughout day. I didn't get my daily requirements but just took baby steps And made sure I didn't get dehydrated. I am 5 months out and still have to do a shake to get my Protein in. I tried getting it with food but it was hard. I finally felt normal at probably 3 months. When u can ad solids just be sure to take small bites and chew really well or u will be uncomfortable and have to bring it back up( slimmys) . It was hard to sit down and eat meal cause I ate to fast. So I would take bites here and there. It helped a lot. My friend was mashed potatoes. I know You probably feel like your hungry cause ur stomach will not hush and I craved the taste of food. So I would take a few bites of what I cooked for family and chew it and get the flavor and spit back out. First few months were all about just surviving and getting used to my sleeve.

Hello everyone, First post op appt today so far since surgery I lost 21 pounds. Im still kinda weak. But doing good

[Beachbum2017 108]

Great job, Chanvita! I'm so glad that you are doing better. I still have days of feeling kinda weak but I guess that goes with the little bit of nourishment that our bodies are getting.

[Chanvita 22]

Yes I hope by starting Vitamins will help

[Blessedfun 89]

The Vitamins will help! Blessings!

Stalls are normal at 3 weeks. They say Water weight, starvation and your body adjusting. Keep doing good. It will start again. Blessings!

SC Southern Sleevers how are you? Where are you on your journey? I had surgery in May. Down over 64. Doing well. Hope you are encouraged. Give us an update!!!

[Beachbum2017 108]

Doing pretty well. Still get extremely tired on occasion. Still losing okay. Have lost about 25 lbs since surgery - about 63 since starting this journey - though I haven't weighed this week yet. i try to only weigh once a week so I don't freak out if the scale doesn't move for a day or two! Looking forward to 2 more weeks when I can expand my food options a bit. Getting pretty tired of eating the same old thing all the time....

Keep going BeachBum! You are doing great!!!
