2 weeks out and tolerating everything...not getting particularly full either :(.

Maybe your Protein shake has too much sugar or carbs which don't agree with the sleeve? Which shake were you using?

I've used quite a few. Premier Protein chocolate and vanilla both make my stomach hurt. The other ones do that AND make me vomit. The GNC zero carb Protein powders make me vomit too, and so do the unjury protein powders. I've also tried whey protein and that makes my stomach burn also. I am pretty much out of options right now....ordered those Protein Shots (sunkist 46-48g protein)....waiting on those now. :(

I know you're completely right. Both of ya! I think it's just these Protein drinks and powders. I avoid them like the plague because of the vomiting fest afterwards....and the acid-burning stomach ache type pain in my lower abdomen (where you can feel a bowel movement coming on) almost immediately after drinking them. They simply are not working for me. And after I vomit even once I get this horrible empty/pulling feeling in my stomach for a day or two which feels a lot like hunger....minus the ravenous growls of death. I am staying on the diet...it was just those few lapses I mentioned above. I plan to stick to the diet strictly though' date=' no more tests and try outs etc. Sticking to full liquids for 3 more days. Than it's onto pureed foods. Meh, I'll blend me some chili when the time comes.

I guess it'll just be yogurt sweetened with xylitol now for me....3 more days. I'm NOT touching those Protein Drinks though...not in hell. I've got plenty of chicken Soup stored away....I'll make it up however I can. YUCK...hate that poison![/quote']

I hate the Protein shakes too!! Could NOT find one that I could tolerate. Before surgery I liked the Protein Bars and can have them in a couple of weeks. I hope I still like them.

I didn't feel full until I started dense Proteins and I have no issues of tolerance - with anything. I find I eat more fish as it sits better than most things

      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.
