You remember way more than I do, but I'm ok with that. I probably don't need to know if I treated them all to my favorite rendition of some FloRida song!

This is your friend... Happy hunting! There are TONS of posts on this subject. Congrats on your successful surgery and losses to date.

I am 2 weeks out and every time I get on the scale the number is lower. Once or twice it's been the same, but never HIGHER! When has that ever happened in my life? Nearly never! What a wonderful Christmas miracle that has been made available to all of us so we can get started on a losing journey! I already barely remember the pain and discomfort and am now just looking forward to being cleared to work out. I never could have done this on my own and I'm just so grateful!!!!!!!!!!!

Smooth move tea works— REAALLLLY WELL haha so be close to home for a few hours!! 😂 Also be careful with the fruit- a lot of sugar so don’t eat it after surgery until cleared. Good luck - it’ll be here before you know it!

Bihhh, Eat everything. Joking joking. Take a bite. Toss it. Move to the next treat. If you like but... Join the ❤ January 2019 Challenge ❤ 😁😁😁😁😁😁

I'm still in liquid phase, just starting soft foods phase 18 days post-op. I'm drinking GNC Lean Shakes (chocolate), eating cottage cheese, and have eaten a couple of scrambled eggs. Sam's Club offers a fruit-punch flavored clear protein drink by Premiere Protein. Thinned Oatmeal is okay in liquid phase and has some protein

I bought them all in chewable form at GNC but they weren't cheap

I'm required to take a multi with iron. @paulamelton If your surgeon has recommended one with iron, I would follow his or her recommendation.

My wife stayed with me until about 5 pm and came back the next day around 9 am. It wasn't bad at all. The staff were great, but just keep in mind that it's a hospital and the 'squeaky wheel gets the grease' when you need something. They're busy and you won't exactly be a high priority (at least that's the way it seemed). Bring things to keep you occupied; iPad (don't forget the charger), books, music, etc. Or just enjoy the narcotic haze every 4-6 hours. 😵

If you ore make your shake and jet it set in the fridge the foam / bubbles go away in about 15 minutes. When you mix it up just gently tip the container a few times.
