JFlora117 3 Posted August 20, 2013 Hey! Nice to meet you. How are you feeling? Any recommendations on Protein drinks that are good? Having a hard time trying to find one. I'm actually feeling really well! A little pain in my left side sometimes but that's totally normal. Ill tell you when they say you feel full, there not kidding lol it's like where was this full feeling all along?! I actually drink Muscle Milk Light. You can get the powder or the all ready made. At first I got the powder and was using skim milk in it hoping to get extra Protein, it was just not sitting well with my body. I never got sick, but "TMI" it just went right through me. So i now use Water. The shakes themselves are pretty good though. chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and strawberry banana are all quite good. I tried peach mango and it was just not my thing. I also tried Core Protein Light which they have at a little mini mart down from my house and that was good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donkey booty 19 Posted October 13, 2013 Hey everyone New to the site and just wondering if they're are any sleevers from NJ like myself. Looking for some support and someone who understands what I'll be going through. My surgery is scheduled for October 21 (yay). My friends are supporting me through this but my family does not know yet. They can be extremely judgmental at times and not sure how to tell them yet. Thanks in advance! Hello! I'm from South Jersey and I'm 4 weeks post-op. I would love to chat with someone who understands and can exchange experiences. I have ton of support too but know one who can relate. All the best on your upcoming surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donkey booty 19 Posted October 16, 2013 Congrats on being sleeved!! How's it been so far? Thanks! The first 2 weeks was the hardest. But since I've been cleared for regular food last week I've felt so much better! Nothing seems to up set my stomach I eat well however the fluids are the hardest to get in struggling with that. 30 pounds so far but the scale has been stuck for 5 long days!! Anyway, How are you? Are you post-op, if so how long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
