    Unhappy one month post sleeve no weight loss?

    I need help bad. It has been one month since my surgery and I haven't lost any more weight (since pre surgery diet)? I am always thirsty and am still throwing up water. I have tried every drink out there. I haven't been getting in much protein at all. I have diarrhea all the time now making me very weak. I do not have a colon (was removed 25 years ago, I have an internal J pouch). Is there any protein bars out there without the carbs? The protein drinks make me have diarrhea and I can barely leave the house. I have been to the doctor three times and I will take any suggestions.

    What you describe sounds like it could lead to a serious problem. I know you've been to the doctor three times but you need to make a fourth trip. They have to find a solution for you because you need to be able to keep fluids down and not lose them through diarrhea. Dehydration is nothing to play with. Considering the fact they knew about your current medical status prior to surgery a diet plan should have been laid out for you. I used the Nectar protein drinks, which you may have already tried. Drug Emporium and The Vitamin Shoppe carry them as well as Amazon. I know you're having a rough start now but get back to the doctor and I believe they will find a solution for you.

    Thank you I know you are right. I am always thirsty now. I have been able to keep down coke slurpees but they are pure sugar and give me the shakes. The most I have had is 32 oz of water a day. I am living on sugar free popsicles.

    Sorry your having so much trouble. .hope you feel better real soon. And yes see a doctor. .maybe second opinion even. As for diet coke ..it might be why your throwing up in addition to other issues. My husband unknowingly bought me what he thought was sugar free popsicles, the box said in big letters no sugar added. The next few days, I started throwing up..and since I was still on only liquids thought it was just me. One day I read the label. .seeing what was in them..and guess what..had like 8g of sugar. So now we are both very careful to check labels. My body just rejects sugar big time now . Best of luck

    I ditto what mellowjoy said.

    Coke slurpees ARE NOT the answer!!! (I'm sure you already know this.)

    I couldn't stomach the SMELL, let alone the TASTE of protein shakes at first. I ordered unflavored protein powder and sprinkled it into and on EVERYTHING. SF Popsicles and SF Jello were my biggest sources for fluid.

    Carafate (RX) was the ONLY thing that helped me stop retching/vomiting.

    Sending All Good Thoughts and Prayers!

    I haven't been able to drink any protein shakes at all. Even the non flavored Unjury is gross. I feel perfect except I am sooooo thirsty, and I am NOT loosing weight. Does anybody have any other option for protein (protein water or bars)? I just haven't been getting more than 10 gs of protein in a day.

    Have you checked your blood sugar lately? Just to make sure it's not high. That can make you thirsty.

    Sorry to hear you are going through this. Why isn't your Dr addressing your concerns. I would look to find a new one. You may become dehydrated.
