I'm almost 6 months out and never could drink the Protein shakes. They wouldn't stay down. However, if I made a homemade shake with pumpkin seed based Protein power, I could keep it down. It didn't taste good but I was getting protein.

I've struggled with Protein Shakes as well but recently found one that actually tastes good, if you like banana ha ha it's called muscle milk and I buy them at the fast gas here! They are 25g of Protein and 220 calories for 414 ml! I totally enjoy them ever morning now!

Hi jadyn!

Can I ask why you have to gain weight for plastics?

You have to have a certain amount of body fat for the procedure I want (Brazilian butt lift) I don't want bum implants lol. I need to gain back a bit of chub so that they can suck it out and make me a new arse ???? gaining weight after the sleeve has proved a pretty big challenge for me....pre op I thought about food and I'd get bigger. Now I just eat and eat and eat....and nothing.

Oh interesting! Lol yeah I'd still have enough chub, but your right it would be very hard to gain any amount back now! Can I ask where you are having your plastics done?

      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.
