Prsunshine_8 6 Posted January 21, 2018 I’m doing good I just had sleeve on 1/11/18 I lost 15lbs my first week. My problem is getting the Water in. I’m on stage 2, I’m doing well holding food down and I try not to read negative reports. I make sure I walk everyday. I do notice I go to sleep earlier and wake up early. I pray we all stick to positive thinking and don’t beat up ourselves and just remember this is a tool for a life time and don’t have regrets it’s the best decision we have made for our lives. I just wish I would of made my sooner. Take care and have a Beautfiful day. 2 Seahawks Fan and MsTipps reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fulamuso 32 Posted January 21, 2018 Btw, someone mentioned wanting savory vs the sweet Protein Shakes. I found Organic Bone Broth at Wal-Mart of all places! The chicken is delish, fat free and 7g Protein per cup! Goes down well even early on. It's under three bucks too! Score!Sent from my KFDOWI using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to connect with other post-op January patients. I am having trouble swallowing my crushed meds because they taste so awful (bitter). Anyone have any ideas on what to mix them with to help the taste? Sounds like you are doing good! On the pill thing, I have my surgery on the 30th but been trying to have everything I could possibly need lol but I’ve wondered about the pill thing too,,, are you where you can have Protein Drinks yet? I wondered if mixing them with a little Protein Drink would help.....??? I’m allergic the dairy (the protein) so have tried many non dairy Protein Powder but keep going back to one I’ve used the last 25 yrs.. let us know what you end up using.. good luck and glad you are doing well!

And the Orgain is very good and they both come in different flavors I use one scoop of each to make a shake and it’s 30 g of Protein it’s delicious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
