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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
