Hey guys I have terrible overweight and finally saved to get my sleeve done. I thought I would be happy buy im on Protein Shake and just feeling miserable. Would love some advice. Also headaches are horrible.

Im trying to follow my instructions which have like scheduled drinks etc but it's hard im either too full or disgusted to drink the stuff they give me.

Help

If you're not liking the drinks you have, you need to find something you can handle. It's really important. If the shakes are too thick, try Protein waters. Walmart stocks a couple different varieties. I needed to dilute mine so that they weren't so sweet. They're like over-sweet Kool-Aid. Try Decaf tea/coffee, broth, anything to get the liquids in. That is your #1 priority right now. Protein is a distant 2nd.

The headaches are probably due to withdrawal from either caffeine or carbs. They will definitely get better in a few days. Try a cold pack on your forehead and some Tylenol.

Things will definitely start getting better, but honestly, the first 2 weeks are really rough for a lot of us.

You can and will do this! In a year, you'll look back and know it was all worth it.

I felt the same way. Nauseous and gagged at the slightest idea of drinking or eating a sugar free anything. I stopped taking the artificial sweeteners and started on the full liquids a day early and felt a million times better. Immediately I felt stronger, could consume a lot more Water and just perked up in general. My meals now consist of milk based Protein Shakes for Breakfast and dinner and bean or lentil Soup in between. My body needed the salt. I make sure the Soups are watered down and not over salted but that little bit of salt helped stabilize my body.

Surprisingly I had chicken broth today made from scratch and its made me happy. Gonna try some glucerna not sure if anyone has had any or if they can tell me if it helps. I feel happier with the Soup.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
