4.5 months out, 81lbs gone!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I am beyond thrilled with my progress thus far! I had the sleeve on June 3, 2014 and I am down 81lbs as of last week!! I feel like a different person. My biggest issue is that I am having a very hard time drinking my Protein shakes every day. I only need to drink one in order to get in an ideal amount of Protein (my stomach doesn't hold much room and it is nearly impossible to meet this goal with food alone). I am so tired of sweet drinks so I was wondering if anyone knew of a very low volume, high protein whey isolate protein source that is easy to get down without making you feel nauseated? I work out 3-4 days per week for 1 hr 15 minutes each session (weights/cardio) and I don't want to lose muscle as a result of inadequate protein intake. I would appreciate any guidance offered!

Thank you!

There are unflavored Protein powders you can get to add to food to increase your intake. You can also buy Protein enriched Soups and other foods online. Google it, or look on the Bariatric Choice website. They have lots of things to choose from.

I eat greek yogurt, turkey lunch meat, string cheese, nuts, and things like that to get my protein in, along with a Protein shake every day.

Syntrax nectar comes in fruit flavour. I use it twice a day 1/2 a scoop with a cup of Water. I like the fuzzy navel ( Orange/peach )
