My nut has me adding 1/3 cup powdered nonfat milk to all my Soups, yogurt, skim milk etc which adds 8 g Protein to everything I add it too. I also like carnation no sugar added instant Breakfast with 1 cup skim milk and 1/3 cup powdered milk. 21 grams protein and I like it better then Protein Shakes. I also get 12 grams of protein in yogurt and after adding the powdered milk its 20 grams protein. I can't tell the powdered milk is in anything unlike the Protein Powder which leaves a taste even when its unflavored. I hope this helps you.

Hi there:)

I had surgery on December 2. I think I'm doing ok so far. My SW was 244 my SW was 219 and now ( I just stepped on the scale this morning)

And I'm 200. I pretty much wanted to fall over. I have been 209+ for over 13 years.

This has been a true tool for my weight loss. I feel blessed that I've been given this gift of health and life.

I got sleeved December 11th. I've lost 28lbs postop and 67 total. Still having trouble getting all my Protein in but have no problem with Water. Just now beginning to eat, really. Usually one meal a day. About 2 oz of fish and then I try to get in two Protein shakes. I can already tell a huge difference in my appearance!

Went back to work two weeks ago and still struggling with tiredness and being lightheaded.

I'm still trying to wrap my had around this new lifestyle where eating is hard lol but it's what I signed up for. Overall things are good.

I was sleeved 12/30 and I just had 4 oz of delicious blended pea Soup. I worked out 1 hour yesterday and I'm in good spirits and energetic. I do not do those sweet shakes. I drink goats milk, buttermilk and kefir. That Protein is more digestible and absorbs at a higher rate. I'm into building strength and energy! I'm loosing 1-2 pounds a day.

I had my surgery on 12/18 and currently on mushy foods, and stalled in the weight loss - it actually looks like I gained two pounds and it's quite depressing. I'm tired and not getting much exercise other than some walking. :(

I've lost about 20 pounds total since I started the pre-op diet, and I'm having trouble eating enough - only managing about 800 calories a day, so I'm sure that's part of it, but it's so discouraging. I'm getting most of my Water in, and eating as well as I can, but it's still a struggle.

And I'm almost wanting to cry because I was really looking forward to homemade chili tonight, but my husband made it so spicy I can't eat it because it burns so bad.

I don't regret getting the surgery, but I can't believe how little I've lost and how poor my progress has been.

Sleeved 12/31, eating yogurt, pureed Beans, miso Soup, hot tea and canned fruit like peaches in lite Syrup blended with ice. Was also able to eat a scrambled egg with 2 tbsp of garlic hummus. I add a scoop of nectar isoprotein to everything to keep up on my Protein levels. I have my follow up tomorrow. Feeling tired, still very tender.

Sleeved 12-18 and went back to work on Monday. Doing really good, down 17lbs since surgery, kinda stalled since eating pureed foods...not sure why. Getting all my Protein in, about 50 oz fluids in, so need to work harder on that. Tonight, I had chili that I put in my bullet, but it was too spicy...so took a zantac and tums..probably will wait on that kind for a while. Love refried Beans and pureed vegis...joined the the gym, but it is 4 degrees out, just staying home w/exercise bike. Looking forward to this new year.

I was sleeved 12/16 and doing well. My incisions are healing nicely and I am able to be fairly active. I plan on getting back into the gym this coming week. My HW was 322, SW 300, and this morning I weighed in at 277. Overall loss of 45 lbs and 23 of that since surgery. I feel like my loss is slow, but I'm thrilled to be losing at all. So far, I've gone down a pant size and a full shoe size. I just packed up 2 bags of clothes that are already too big to be donated. ????

      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.
