I had my sleeve 1 day before yours and I was in getting my drain out today too. Feeling pretty good now, but not sure I could have driven myself, especially since I have a hour drive to his office :). I am having trouble getting my protein in because all the sweet stuff is making me sick. How are you getting so much protein in each day?

woohoo! yay us!!! i wasn't thrilled about driving but felt bad about making hubby sit in the car for an hr with the 4 kids while i was in my appt... i am doing 2 shakes /day.... i wanted to try for 3 but i think it will make me too sick of them and that will be worse in the end! i too am sick of the sweets... my morning shake is skim milk, choc prot poder and a tbsp of pb2... tastes like a resseces cup :-) ... I have unflavored powder that I add into broth sometimes (i only did a half scoop since it wasnt a ton of broth, but every little bit counts) my afternoon shake is a syntrax... i do water them down because they're supersweet... so i do 16-20 oz of water and squirt a little mio in to cover the flavor... this also helps meet my fluid goal tho... I did the broth to get a little salty flavor and 2 nights ago i had had the runs a few times and wanted some cheese so bad to fix it... so i put a little cheese with milk and made cheese soup... lol... that was decent protein and a nice change (not exactly "on the list" but it seemed comparable to me)... just keep trying to gradually add stuff in... last night I had sugar free pudding with a 1/2 scoop of choc prot powder and a tbsp of pb2 and thinned it a little with some milk... it was pretty good...gotta get a little creative :-)
