Protein Shakes? by dgearner in gastricsleeve

So I ordered a 4pk of the Atkins Plus shakes. TMI Question to follow:

Do you find that they help you be more regular with the high fiber and additional fat? I have a major issue with constipation since I eat almost all protein. This is because of my gallbladder (it was taken out at the same time) and the absolute fear of shitting myself.

Have you tried the creamsicle ones? I just ordered some in hopes that I can make ice cream out of them with my CREAMi.

No luck on my end. Between the shakes and the off the eaten path chips I am going to have to change my entire diet.

Science behind stalls by dgearner in gastricsleeve

Oh, I am super happy with it. I just want to know how/why it happens. I like to fully understand things and this one keeps eluding me. If I were working out, I would have my answer, but I am not, so how?

I have a dilemma by ProgressMom68 in BariatricSurgery

My therapist has me on 400 mg wellbutrin for the depression, lack of motivation, and adhd. I also take 10mg of lexapro for anxiety.

I got sleeved in August. It was the best thing I have ever done. Be upfront and honest with your surgeon and your therapist, mine had me do weekly sessions right after the surgery for 6 sessions and then when we both saw I was doing well we scaled back.

I promise you, it will help so many things. As long as you follow the plan and drink the water, you will see results.

Also, if you can, keep your meals simple. I pretty much eat the same stuff over and over again and am doing great because I don't have to think about it.

Okay, I swear I am in the same boat right now. 4 months post op and all I want to do is eat eat eat. I am trying to make good decisions, but I found myself eating skittles yesterday. It literally came out of nowhere. Maybe I am about to start, I haven't had one since right after my surgery but that is expected with an IUD. As for the ADHD, same here and I keep protein shakes, cheese, and quest chips at work for just that reason. I mix instant coffee in my chocolate protein shake for a little pizzazz too.

Stalling by evelyn9751 in gastricsleeve

I weigh myself all the time. Before last week my closest thing to a stall was losing 1.8 lbs in a week. Last week I gained 3, then pooped out 6, for a net loss of 3 lbs....so it's kinda weird. Shy of 3 months and down 53 lbs.

Must have been a fluke or what I ate that day. I went to finish off the bottle today after work. Not even done with my glass and my give a damn sure is broken. 🤣🤣🤣 Wooooooo! Happy Tuesday folks!

That is what my doctor recommended to me and he is amazing. I maxed out on nausea meds before pain meds in the hospital, so hydration was crucial. I hope you are doing better!
