Hello. I was sleeved 2/10. I lost 12 lbs at first but now I am not loosing any. On week 3. Eating purée and can't get enough Protein.< /p>

I was sleeved 2/2/2015. I stalled for week 3 and week 4. Totally normal. Frustrating but normal. During that time I lost lots of inches. Week 5 I have lost 3 pounds.

I still get at least half my protein from one Protein Shake a day.

During the puree stage I added unflavored Protein Powder to the Soup, chicken salad and egg salad. I used a mixture of light mayo and fat free greek yogurt in the chicken/egg salad plus salt, pepper and a touch of Gulden's mustard to the egg. I couldn't even taste the protein powder in the salad. I could taste it a little in the soup and you need to be careful to not overheat the soup.

Super frustrated. I was sleeved on Feb 2nd and have been stalled for almost 3 weeks now. I lost 21 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I need to break this stall.

I was sleeved February 26 and I feel really good right now. It is hard to get the Water in and I am slowly increasing my Protein. I have one week and then I can start on solid protein. Can't wait. I would love to join the Facebook page and I will pm my information. Good luck to everyone.

2/11 sleeve date. Been feeling great. Only challenge is getting enough fluids and Protein. I am amazingly down 32#s. Cottage cheese and pulverized chicken salad, and cream Soups are the soft foods I can tolerate. Been stalled for a few days but not worried yet. I would like to join Facebook page also, even though from this forum I may be the only guy! Email is scperry18@hotmail.com. Thanks!

@@VGB I am having the same problem. I was told that Isopure would be a great drink and it comes in many flavors. Tried it and hated it with a passion. I am having a horrible time with the Protein. I cannot stand to drink any of them so far but maybe Isopure drinks will work for you.

Are you using Protein powders? I can't stand them, but am able to tolerate liquid shakes like Premier Protein (30 g/11 oz) and Atkins (15 g/11 oz). There are lots of other brands -- I just happen to like these two brands.

For Isopure, I recommend using half a bottle, with 10oz of Crystal Light, G2, or some other juicey type beverage. It will mask the flavor, and you still get 20g Protein. I do this daily, it takes me all day to get it down, I just keep adding ice. I get about 30oz of Fluid, and 20g protein :)

If you haven't tried the black tea lemon, I suggest trying it. It's not nearly as bad as the grape.

I got sleeved on 2/27. Gained about 8lbs post op (fluids). Have now lost that plus 11 more for total of 19. Surprised every few days seeing the numbers come down. ???? Started feeling hungry a few.days ago. Have been reading about taking antacids. Will def look into that today. Had just finished a shake and felt "full" and 10 mins later felt like I could take down a steer and eat him all by myself lol.

Had my sleeve done Feb 11,2015. Doing pretty good so far. Was very painful in the beginning but I made it thru. My kids and hubby are very supportive. I've lost about 23 pounds so far. I'm hoping to lose 150 more.

      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.
