I was sleeved August 15th. Ive lost about 40 pounds but heres my issues. 1)my desire to eat is non exsistant. I get hungry bit the thought of eating makes my stomach turn. Has this happened to anyone? I thought it would get better but it hasnt. Im living off of Atkins Protein Bars & 1 Protein Shake a day. And 2) since I started losing weight my joints are KILLING me. My hips, knees, & shoulder have.never hurt so dang much. Im 34 & feel like im trapped in an 80 year olds body. Is this normal?

My hips hurt and sometimes still do. You really have to get more Protein in than your doing. Even if you don't want to eat you have to. The amount of protein you get can also effect the amount of hair you can lose according to some. Even if it is another Protein Drink you have to get it in. There are many days that I don't want to eat and I am just over 4 months post op so I make sure I get another protein drink inso that I get at least 70g in for the day. Hang in there you are doing great with the weight loss!

Wow 70 grams! Thats incredible. Yes im trying hard. Unfortunately meats & fish do not sit well so I rely on lentils, & Beans for some Protein. Its more difficult than I anticipated but I have good days & bad days. Friday was a great day. I was able to have some cheese, a peice of fish & a 30 gram Protein Shake. Today...not so good.

Have you tried Premiere Protein Drinks? They are very very good and you get 30g of Protein with each one. You can buy them at Sam's, costco, and BJ's. give them a try!
