Hi all--I was just sleeved on march 21st. Surgery went well and I am home recouping. I am supposed to be on Clear Liquids until the 28th and see my surgeon on the 29th.

I can't tolerate the Protein Powder. I've tried two different kinds in my drinks and all it does is run right through me and give me gas and diarrhea. Sorry for tmi...

Isopure drinks make me want to vomit.

I would call my surgeon and ask but it might take forever for a call back. I feel very tired and weak.

Does any one have any other suggestions? I did pour about four oz of fairlife milk--the one with less carbs and more Protein and have yet to have about two oz of it. So far have tolerated it okay. I know it's not clears, but does any one else know what I can try?

Thank you!!

I haven't had surgery yet but are you just drinking 1 ounce at a time? My doc's office recommends Premier Protein . I have been having that for a couple months now prior to surgery and I like it but who knows if I can tolerate it after surgery. They said to try to have one of those throughout the day starting on day three after the surgery. I hope things get better for you soon! I am sure someone with some experience will respond to this post with some good info for you.

Call your doctor now. You'll never get a call back if you don't place the call. I couldn't tolerate any powder, but I do fine with the ready made Premier Protein shakes. I was sleeved on 3/1 and have been drinking 2 a day with no problem since 3/2.

I am 14 day post op.
I have been drinking six star chocolate
Isolate whey Protein Powder.
I mix with Water or almond milk.
I am lactose intolerance.
It did give me gas the 1st week.i would take GAS X the start of day and walk around and that help me.
NOW i have no problem with gas when drinking it or mixing with Yogurt.
Maybe because the gas issue is gone from surgery.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
