Any March 2018 Sleevers?

[dgirl1229 36]

Okay guys. I need HELP!! I am nearly 2 weeks post op (Tuesday) and I am having the WORST time getting Protein in. I'm supposed to be aiming for 48 grams and I'm lucky to get 10. Any of my Protein Shakes, unflavored Proteins, warm Soups just make me nauseous- INSTANTLY. I have found frozen yogurt Proyo that has Protein and is cold, but I can't live on that [emoji30]. I'm exhausted, weak and CRAVING chicken salad-the goupy stuff. I'm ready for the next level, but I'm not cleared yet. What are some things yall are doing to meet your Protein goals?

I had a hard time getting in the protein and 64 oz of fluids. My dr told me the Premier Protein counts as liquid and protein. So if I drink 2 of those a day it 60oz protein and 22oz "water" then all I have to worry about is another 53 oz of Water. That took me all day to get in the first few days. If that's tolerable anything extra eaten is a bonus. Yesterday I had some fat free refried Beans mashed up with some salsa. I've tried a little bit of low fat ricotta cheese. Little by little you will get there

Thank you for your encouragement! I wish I could drink Premier Protein shakes. I can't have anything with sucralose, as I'm allergic, but I am sipping on a vanilla shake with milk. If I can finish it, it will be 27 grams of protein!! I like your other options too, mouthwatering!!

Hit the losers bench on 3/15. Had to stay an extra night in the hospital and was sent home with my drain still in. Can't wait to be rid of the little appendage! Hope to get it out next Wednesday. If I hold still I am not in any pain but if my tummy muscles are engages...still pretty ouchie! I am having no trouble with Water but all food seems pretty gross right now. We will see what tomorrow brings!

Congrats!! I didn't have a drain. Wowsers!!! Some foods are still yucky to me, but I am really doing well with super cold stuff! Maybe I'm Iron deficient??

So who's up for surgery this week? Are you ready/excited/scared?

I'm scheduled Wednesday... however, I am on East Coast and not sure what this storm is going to do. DC is showing to be right in its path...

[Deb Guadalupe 1]

I am scheduled for 03/21. I'm excited for change! Good luck to you all.

Well --a bright thought is: you may not have to use Uber or Lyft to get to the hospital, the wind might just blow you there!! Hasn't this been a crazy late winter on the East Coast? Might blow the Cherry Blossoms right off the trees and I had been hoping Spring would finally come, and come in softly Good luck to you, Purple Sleeve..[emoji14]

Day 7 Clear Liquids: soooo ready for a Protein shake!! Soooo sick of "sweet". But I've busted through the last of the surgery Water weight gain and I'm officially a loser now, so there is that!

My abdominal tenderness improves every day, but the incisions itch like crazy. I'm drinking 2 ounces of Clear Liquids at a time now, every 24 minutes over 12 hours -- its an all-day job!

Best wishes for safe, uneventful surgeries this week, peeps!
