Eventer826 35 Posted March 15, 2018 There are several different types. It’s flavored water infused with Protein. I know that premier has premier clear, there’s protein2o and this is the one that I like the best. It has 20 grams of protein in 16 ounces.

Cjackson82 39 Posted March 15, 2018 I do use MyFitnessPal currently but I’m looking for something with a timer to remind me about Vitamins etc Baritastic is a very good app. Journal, track Water, Protein or meals, timer tracking weight and measurements etc 1 1 BrandiLynn and PeacockConnie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandiLynn 45 Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks for the reminding me about the Baritastic app, I remember hearing about it in the support group I attended at the Center for Obesity. I am definitely gonna try it, because I am doing a terrible job of tracking my Fluid intake. I think I am getting enough but I am never finishing anything and I've got Water bottles, Protein water bottles, and Protein Shakes that I intend to finish at varying levels of fullness leftover in the fridge. 1 Cjackson82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandiejo 16 Posted March 15, 2018 I check in at 5:30am on Monday! I’ve been on my pre-op diet plan and have stuck to it. Lost 9 lbs in the 7days I’ve been on it! I can already see a huge difference in my face! 4 Schwarz64, domi, Apple203 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never been good at tracking but i feel it is absolutely necessary for success. I’m doing my best to track everything. I find this app very helpful. 1 Mattymatt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleJava 21 Posted March 15, 2018 Whether it’s shake, broth or Soup, I keep portion at 3-4oz max. Also have to include as a snack. If not, I won’t meet goals. HW=315; SW=268 (3/7/18); CW=258; GW#1=210; GW#2=170 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WyomingGal 1 Posted March 16, 2018 Hi all, I've been reading for a while, but decided it was time to break down and make my own account... I was sleeved on 3-7. Overall, things are going well. I have had very little pain or gas, and I have been able to advance my diet better than I expected. The biggest issues for me have been two fold: 1- sweet food tastes terrible! I hate the Protein Shakes, sugar free products, pudding, Jello - all of it! It all tastes too sweet and like chemicals. I force myself to gag down a Protein Shake in the morning but that is really all I can do. I have been getting the rest of my Protein from pureed eggs, chicken, cottage cheese and tuna. Thank goodness those have gone down well. I met my protein goal for the first time yesterday, which is okay with my surgeon, who wants the first weeks' focus to be liquids. 2- I am so tired! I have read lots of posts and know that is normal, but it is killing me. I just want some stamina back! 1 Eventer826 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been great being able to read everyone's post and hearing how things have been going for those that have recently had surgery. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My anxiety sometimes gets to rule my nerves right now Thank you to everyone who has been able to take the time with updating how things are going, it definitely helps those who have surgery dates coming up.

js 0 Posted March 16, 2018 I'm getting my surgery on the 22 of March. I'm so excited after having to fight with my insurance company for 3 weeks & I thought it wasn't going to happen. I'm actually getting the sleeve after having the band for a few years & it was removed this past summer. The band didn't work at all for me. I'm nervous about the sleeve working, but I'm very excited to finally get it done. I'm struggling with the liquid diet. I'm hungry & I can't keep drinking these shakes! There's got to be something else I can have! Good luck with your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
