Mine has been rough and I've had some complications. I hope and pray you do better. I still can't keep hardly anything down, but I have lost 22.5 pounds. So far I'm still in the regret phase tho :/

I was sleeved 1/27 and I am doing pretty well, I think. No problem getting my Water in-- does not hurt to drink. I like my Protein Shakes and have no trouble with those. I also have some Isopure Zero fruit flavored Protein Drinks that I like a lot. I am starting pureed foods tomorrow... thinking eggs with a little ham and cheese for Breakfast. Excited to be moving to the next phase! I am walking some (although we got a foot of snow today so I did not get my walk in) and went back to work today (I am able to work from home and will be doing that until Thurs. when I am heading into the office!).

Try the shakes from GNC called Total Lean. They are not thick like others I have tried and they are not too sweet either. My shakes were giving me terrible gas and they were too thick. These are better. Good luck.

Lord will u will resolve soon. I'm not on Protein Shakes yet. I'm having Isopure juice type drink until my one week follow up. I will keep u in my prayers @Stephg keep us updated.

One week out today - down 14.4lbs. Had some issues with my body not agreeing with the sucralose that is in most Protein powders. Found some that is made with stevia and now I am finally hitting my daily protein goals. Go back and see my nutritionist on Monday, looking forward to the next phase of this diet. Being able to eat some actual food instead of strained Soups, shakes and Water sounds delightful. Hang in there for all those that are struggling, you are in my prayers. This will get easier. Much love - Heather

      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.
