I was sleeved two weeks ago.

This site is very NEW to me... Still trying to learn how this works! It's been difficulty getting my Protein in & I've been experiencing diarrhea since trying some diluted mashed potatoes. I'm hungry most of the time because the liquids are currently going through me. I think I am allergic to the whey in the iso-pure because it makes my throat itch. I'm going to give the iso-pure Protein liquid a try by putting it in some Water to dilute it. I feel weak a lot of the time. The biggest thing is to try to get down my liquids every day

Go to Costco's or Sam and get the premix Premier Protein. Drink apple juice/White grapes juice with a little water in it this will help you with the diarrhea. Hope this helps you and I hope you're feeling better.

Big thanks--- my diarrhea has subsided some! Now I'm just adjusting! This is week two (day 9)- I still have some pain that I'm dealing with. I'm also trying to figure out why I'm hungry often! I drink the Isopure Protein Drinks (fruit Punch & apple melon) it's not bad when I mix w/ water. I'm scared to weigh myself so I have opted not to do so until my 2 wk f/u this Friday! I'm grateful for this site b/c I'm able to read others experiences & get encouragement --- my emotions are all over the place. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Hey girly congrats I had ny surgery in June. I was in pain for about month. Make sure you use your pain medicine it literally works wonders. I didn't have diarrhea but its hard to get Protein in trust me. Don't lose hope it might just be how your body is adjusting.

      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.
