Any 12/21/15 sleevers: How are you doing?



Recommended Posts

100 of Protein is a lot. My goal for week one was only 40, although I was able to get at least 60 in with two premier shakes. My ultimate goal is 70-90, I think

I replied to you but trying figure out how to reply within the same post box

I think just being a few days out from surgery I didn't realize how much you don't get prepared for ahEads of time ...it truly is a learning process

My dietician told us not to stock up on stuff, so I didn't have much. I did purchase a kit with Vitamins and such, but the shakes are getting old. Thinking about some good chicken broth with plain Protein powder.< /div>

Is there a good brand of unflavored Protein powder?

My goal unis to drink 2 Premier shakes a day at least but I haven't quite gotten there yet because the more I drink the more pressure I get from bloating. The shakes taste great.

Sometimes it takes all day to get those two shakes in, doesn't it? I usually try for half and then go back for the other half later.

All of the unjury products seem to get really good reviews. I can't get it locally that I can find as of yet.

I can get Isopure at GNC, so I might try that with some chicken broth.

I do three shakes a day, so I start first thing in the morning and drink 2 ounces (Todd use for the shot glasses I can't use anymore) and then set the timer on my phone for 30 minutes. Take my shot and then repeat 30 minutes later. Probably gonna switch to 20 minutes tomorrow, so I can get my Water intake up.

I'm going crazy tonight and gonna have a sugar free Popsicle....

I tried some sugar-free orange Jello with some fat free half and half to cut down on strong flavor ...wasn't bad ...put it in freezer to set it and had to stir it a couple of times to keep it mixed together. ..then put on fridge

Have you easily added the unflavored Protein Powder into stuff like broth or low fat cream based Soup?

My sleeve surgery was 12/22/15. Today has been the first day I've managed to drink even 1 Protein shake. I've had very little abdominal pain, but severe shoulder pain. I've been walking at least 15 minutes a day as the surgeon said it will help release the gas trapped in my upper back.

Try a heating pad for your upper back. I fell asleep in the recliner my first night home with it on and had very little issue with that since. The nurse recommended it at the hospital.

      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.
