Hi All,

Did anyone out there have the bariatric sleeve surgery done? I had mine on 3/27 & am doing well with losing. I am down about 36 pounds. Having troubles with getting enough protein in me. I often feel tired. Any suggestions?

    I am 9 weeks post-op. I have hit a plateau on losing and I'm not sure why. In order to get my protein in I replace one meal with a protein shake or bar to make sure that I get at least 30grams of protein in that one meal. I'm down 35 pounds.

    I just had the sleeve surgery on Monday 6/5! I find it hard getting ALL liquids in at this point. Premier Protein shakes sold by Costco have 30g of protein and are pretty tasty. My current favorite is the caramel. If you don't have a Costco membership you can get them from Amazon. I like the idea of protein water. I'm going to check that out. Happy to home from the hospital and part of this growing community

    Congratulations on your wt loss. Its advisable to consult with your doctor who is responsible for your post op care.

    Hi
    Had surgery June 9/17.
    Feeling good....no trouble with protein yet...but still on premier protein shake (2 per day) plus additional soup etc. Water is nott too bad...but still have to work on it.
    I hear it gets easier with time....fingers crossed!
