August sleevers progress



Recommended Posts

Surgery date 8/12

Highest weight at beginning of process 300

Weight at pre op w/surgeon 285

Weight on surgery day 268

Weight at two week follow up 255

Today's weight 250

My biggest hurdle was discovering I'm allergic to the Protein drinks... Which is so not awesome! Leave it to me to be allergic to (and have a crazy allergic reaction to) the one thing a Barriatric patient needs for getting in Protein ...

I am 10 days post op and I can't get my Protein in at all.....I'm still on clears so I have to do the shakes and I've tried 5 different kinds/flavors with different ways and they make me sooooo sick..

Have you tried the Isopure clear? It's like Gatorade but not quite as yummy. 40g of Protein per bottle.

I'm in the same boat. I had my wls on 8/27 and haven't gotten any Protein Drinks down. They are all so gross, even the flavorless ones. I've been living on sf popsicles. Don't know what to do...

Where do the sale it?

You can get the Isopure clear at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. They have many different flavors. I like the apple melon the best. Another thing I just tried are called: New whey liquid Protein. They are sold at Walmart in the fitness/diet area (near the pharmacy). They are in oversized white test tube looking things - 42 grams of Protein - its only 3.8 oz, but its kinda thick, so I dilute it in a bottle of Water. Again, more like a weird Gatorade type drink. I just couldn't drink anymore choc shakes and these 2 things have really helped.

I was sleeved August 12. Sooo sick of Protein shakes, like everyone else. I am getting the Protein in every day, though. Being able to eat food really helps so I only have to choke down one Protein Drink a day. Just tried Isopure grape and I think I can get this down. As others have said, like a weird Gatorade BUT it's not a gross imitation of a chocolate milkshake LOL. Tried sashimi for dinner and it was great! Could only get down about 2 oz., but having real food is so nice now, even if it is a tiny amount. My son says I eat like an ant. Teehee. I eat mostly cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Beans, cheese, and a cup of nonfat milk every couple of days. Gonna try hemp seed protein next. Not doing so well with exercise but hopefully now that I'm feeling better I can get that going.

      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.
