    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with protein. I had a similar situation in the very beginning, however I stuck with what I had to do. I use Unjury as my protein and I stick with Whey Isolate as it is absorbed better. I personally use Isopure liquid drinks and add them to my water, I figured if I have to sip sip sip all day I might as well have protein in my water. I had my sleeve the same day as you and struggled in the beginning at getting all my water and protein in. Currently I will get about 50 to 60g protein daily, and about 40 oz of water...so as you can see I still struggle with that, however, each day gets better than the day before.

    I would recommend trying different types of protein, there are so many on the market. I found a brand at Trader Joes that has 35g protein, it's called Eat Good. Look Great pure Protein shake. I put it in the fridge and its good, not great but doable.

    Good luck and just keep sipping sipping sipping..
  2. Does anybody have any suggestions for protein....I am having severe diarrhea and every time I drink a protein shake it makes me go straight to the potty....I know that getting the liquids and protein is important, but I am not doing so great at it.

    Most days I am lucky to even get 30 grams of protein and 40 oz of fluid....Need suggestions..

    Oh, and NO Isopure...that stuff makes me gag to even smell it....

    Thanks

I am five weeks out today. Since my surgery I have really tried to stay up beat and positive, even with the milk protein allergy that was just awful. I am loosing good, don't feel that bad, actually physically I feel pretty normal..BUT mentally the past few days I just want to cry all the time...I have been sad..I think I am literally mourning the loss of food. Sounds just crazy I know, but its like the new and shiny of the surgery is gone, and I am just over it...Would just like to freakin eat...When

Egg White Protien....My new best friend!!!

If you have read any of my previous post you already know that I have found out that I am allergic to Whey.....I struggled BIG TIME the first 2 1/2 weeks not knowing that was the problem.

My Doctor told me to stop the whey products all together and try egg white protein, and I have got to tell you, I feel SOOOOO much better. And I even like the taste better. It is amazing how much better I feel just getting the right amount of protein in.

I am still holding at 30lbs
