September Sleevers!

Question....have any of you had problems with nausea from the Protein powders, but not with the ready made Protein Shakes? ??

[Sirmikael 59]

Not me, but I drank them prior to surgery, so I was accustomed to them. Is it the taste or something else?

What brand are you using? I would suggest ones from PEscience.com , and if you use the code HANA you get 20% off. They are amazing and even have a new cafe line if you like coffee. I would recommend the chocolate cupcake or Cookies and cream. I'm using the Peanut Butter cup now and it tastes like a Reese's.

Another tip is to put them in the freezer after mixing for like 15-30 minutes. I don't know why but it changes the flavor and texture somewhat. I had to do that with a brand I did not like.

I'm 3 weeks out and never hungry. My nut said to be sure to eat something every 4 hours.

My sleeve was done 9/13/16. I've been doing well aside from getting a cold 2 weeks after surgery. That's finally over! I hate hate hate that I get constipated from not eating a balanced diet. Can't wait for fruit and vegetables to be added!

I've realized today that I'm starting to feel anger towards all sorts of things and people for no reason. Must be the loss of food coming out in anger.

I'm tired often, break out in a cold sweat once or twice a day, and I'm cold often. I'm glad I did it and I. I'm making progress.

I'm able to drink way more than I was expecting to. So a majority of my intake is Protein Shakes, milk, etc. That alone should help. Are you not able to get in liquids either?

No liquids are fine. Protein shakes are just gross, and I can only do about 1/day

[Sirmikael 59]

Maybe try some of the ready to drink kinds, a low sugar variety, which may be more palatable.

I like the vanilla, I add cinnamon and a drop of vanilla extract and serve over ice. Hmmm....almost like a milk shake, blended with fresh berries is great too!.

Had my 2 week yesterday and I am officially cleared for purees! Woohoo! Officially down 36# since pre-op diet and 22# since sleeve date 09/29. I too, am able to drink a lot of liquids but Doc told me not to worry about it, that I was doing fine.

Had my first lunch out with the boys, and ordered a black bean burger, no bun, with a side of avocado and sliced Tomato. Mushed it all up with a cilantro lime sauce and it was freakin' heaven. Ate slowly and only finished about half of it. Its not that I was full, but didn't want to push it and I felt satisfied. I wish I would have taken home the other half because with the 2 mile total walk there and back from the bar, I was ready to finish it by the time I got back to the office.

So far I'm not really missing food, I am missing beer though . Maybe one day.

All if all I feel great!

A really good mushy recipe for me was Shelly's pot roast with mashed potatoes - it makes a TON but your family can eat it. I added mushrooms. Tossed in the blender, a few tbsp of potatoes and a few tbsp of meat. Best mushy recipe for me!

Yup, I see what you mean, the next thing I am lookign forward to is being able to sample my BBQ. I am a big smoker of meats. Everyday, I feel a little more and more normal, just smaller and I eat a whole lot less.
