jo96int 7 Posted November 5, 2015 I just got the sleeve 3weeks ago my highest weight was 441 when I had my surgery weighed in at 421 after 2 weeks post op I was 390. I have to admit its a little harder than I expected it to be the hardest thing for me is that I'm a big drinker of Water and only being able to take sips drives me nuts I don't get hungry but sometimes I wanna eat what I see other people around me eating but I do have control I just feel at times I'm really tired and don't feel like myself anymore .

magtart 603 Posted November 5, 2015 You are doing great! One day at a time with the Water...you'll be gulping it down before you know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 5, 2015 Hang in there. It gets easier and eventually you'll be able to take normal swallows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 6, 2015 As everyone else has stayed, just hang in there, it does get easier. Just remind yourself when you find yourself wanting something that isn't on your plan that it won't taste very good. You are doing great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

telltell624 34 Posted November 9, 2015 The unflavored works good for me mixed with a flavor pack like hi-c or lemonade. I try to stay away from adding milk, to keep my calories down. I also do yogurt which gives you about 8-15 grams depending on what kind. sugar free Protein Bars. There's quite a few foods and drinks that'll get you there. You always have the community here to help!☺ It gets easier once you can eat more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
