Hating my sleeve

Not sure how so many people lose and keep pff their weight with the sleeve, it does nothing for me.  I feel like it was $12,500 for nothing, except it did get my band out.

I worry about protein malabsorption with GB or DS, I find it hard to get enough protein now.

If my sleeve was smaller/tighter it might make a difference?  Unsure of what to think...

 
Protein shakes... saves the day.

I'm not a big meat person, I think most of it is gross.  I love beans and I have my fav protein shakes.

If you are going the route of malabsorption, please please consider DS over RNY.  I think you will be much happier with DS.

Was a BB - What are your fav protein shakes?  How do you eat beans? 

 
I like Matrix 5.0 by Syntrax, Whey Gourmet Choco/PB by ... I forget who makes it.  I'll think of it and post it.  And I like Atkins premixes.  The Matrix has a whey aftertaste so I add DaVinci s/f syrups to kill the whey aftertaste.  I love Choco with Cherry s/f syrup.

Beans... I make my own refried beans with no lard and EVOO instead.  I also like Black Bean Salad, you can either add chicken or pineapple but I'm here to tell you, both are not good.  I put everything in there, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, olive oil, chili powder, fresh garlic, everything.  I have the recipe somewhere.  I also love lentil soup.  Lentils, unlike most beans, contain a full protein chain.  I make lentil veggie soup.

BSN makes a Syntha-6 chocolate peanutbutter. BSN has some good products!

Love the Davinci SF stuff!!!

Now what is EVOO???

 
EVOO... extra virgin olive oil.  Wayyyyy better than lard. (blechhhhh)

So, do you know how different RNY and DS are in regards to protein requirements?

Yes, I believe I would choose DS first, in fact it's what I wanted when I got my sleeve, but couldn't find surgeon in TX that would do it, and Maybe didn't know about Dr Ungson.  If sleeve was smaller I might be happier with it.  And also, I understand that some people have longer stomachs that will hold more es a sleeve.

The ONLY protein drink I can stand is Myoplex 42 gm protein ready made.  The low carb ones make me feel hypoglycemic.  The 42 gm one can be drunk in 2 separate meals for 150 cals each.

Thanks!!
