So exited about finally having a food I can chew for the first time in 5 weeks!!!! Best scrambled egg of my life lol

I eat it pretty often but I am 2 years out. I wouldn't eat it the first month, or 6 months post-op. It is a waste of calories for the protein at that point.

My friend eats it out the carton and I am like what? How? Why? I put my bowl on the scale, tare it out, add my halo top, and put the rest back in the freezer. I get 4 to 5 servings per container. When I first started eating it I was getting 8 servings per container because I just used it to add a little flavor and moisture to my protein brownies/cakes. If someone is just eating it out the carton, sigh...

I had a headache, too. About a week out. I think it was because calories were too low - 300 about.

Good luck on your recovery. I hope it is swift and painless and with very few bumps along the way.

Day 5 of high protein liquid diet. 9 days to go, then surgery. I miss solid food. Even a salad. A bit of fish. Anything! Very much trying to focus on the fact that this is temporary. I will chew again some day. Sent from my Nexus 5X using BariatricPal mobile app

I was the same. But I met with my doctor and she encouraged me to really listen to my body. I was trying to eat at certain common meal times...and wasn't losing weight and having major hiccups. She basically said I was overeating even though I was eating less than 800 calories. I did what she asked because I wasn't hungry it was just my habit to have lunch at 12. And, I always stopped immediately when the hiccups came and didn't try to finish it in an hour like I was doing before. Plus, I stopped trying to eat breakfast. I am always nauseous in the morning. So, I stick to coffee and have a shake mid-morning. I didn't see how a body could survive on so little calories. But that is the glory of the surgery...for a short time we can and we can capitalize on those "non-hungry" months. Happy to say since making those changes I have dropped 10 pounds. Keep the faith and listen to your body. Best of luck friend.

I am almost five weeks post surgery. Today I worked out for an hour. I have been able to do that in years. I love weight lifting and being fit and I can finally do it again. I have rheumatoioid arthritis and diabetes. Before the surgery I was constantly sick, I had cellulitis 3 times last year. I have worked out 4 days so far this week and I'm sleeping less. I have my life back. I feel like I was in prison before and I have now been released. This is the real me. I may not get down to my goal weight as I love lifting heavy weights. But I have already gotten out of this surgery what I wanted, improved health and energy.

You won't need much of anything. The recovery house has a lot- even shampoo!! I didn't wear night gowns- wore my garmet the whole time. Bring comfy underwear. Something that will go over your garmet for the trip home or to the doctors office. Bring a book to read maybe or something to do for boredom but mostly you will just sleep.
