OK This is my first post-op challenge.... I am so new at being post op so I am just gonna throw a number out there and see what happens LOL SW...................CW.......................Labor Day Goal......................Pounds to Goal 239.................239...........................199................................................40................

My blender has a puree setting. I use the blend setting for the chicken tho

I can't have veg or fruit yet unless pureed, and protein comes first anyway. This seems to be working for me.

The info I found said 7 grams per once, so for the pack of chicken I got each breast is about 90 grams. Yesterday I blended up one of these and put it in a bowl and made it into about 6 or 7 servings. Protein shakes make me feel so bad, I cannot finish 1 without having to lay down for an hour or 2 after.

I have been struggling with protein drinks. All the ones I have taste ok, maybe even good, but they make me feel awful!!! Like after 30 minutes of drinking about 4oz of one I have to lie down and rest until my body recovers. Well anyway, I am on purees and am allowed blended chicken, and my large chicken breasts have about 90 grams of protein each. I am going to boil then blend one each morning, I have some bbq sauce and italian dressing and a few other ways to dress up my chicken. I will eat on each breast through out the day. I am a sahm so it's pretty easy for me to not have to eat on the run all the time. I have been eating a little chicken for the past couple days and it has went great so today I am going to do the whole breast throughout the day. Anyone else done this?

I have been hot! Cool or cold would be a welcome change this summer

Thanks guys! I am sure I knew all that but mind is going crazy! Its so hard to weigh once per week. Working on protein and water today.

I lost 12 pounds in those 7 days

Is it normal to stalll 1 week out? I am 10 days out and have been stalled since day 7. Getting in almost 60 ounces of water daily but need to step up the protein

Adri- I am 7 days post op and had lost 12 pounds but gained 2 today.

It takes me over an hour to drink a 8 ounce protein shake. This is normal right? I am so tired after drinking for over an hour!

I walked a mile tonight without getting nauseous! And I haven't had my nausea medicine since 11 am! Woo Hoo so excited!

I get kinda car sick too, my meds for nausea help though. I am walking 1/2 a mile 2x per day.

Just vomited again. Have only had one dose of nausea Med so far. I will take more in. 1.5 hours. Hope I am done with this phase soon! Haven't taken any pain med since I have home

I walked about half a mile yesterday without any problem but I took a small break half way. This morning I didn't take a break and had to vomit on the way back. There was nothing to come out so I just stood there heaving. I made it back home ok but it was bad for a minute.

I have not taken any pain meds since I have been home

I vomited old blood and slimy stuff. Yuck ! Doc said its ok and called in something for nausea for me to get tomorrow.

Nausea and a tiny bit of pain. How long does the nausea last?

I am home everything went great at the hospital. My doctor said it was his easiest sleeve surgery ever. I walked alot. Now I am home and resting.

WOOHOO!! My time has come!! I am leaving to go to the hospital. I am scheduled for 7 am!! Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and most of all experience!!! I have so much enjoyed reading from you all and I will post as soon as I can after I get home!!!!!!

My Dr doesn't use a bougie but what he uses is the same size as 34FR Surgery on Friday!!

I have T and A too!! I had to warn my hubby that they may go bye bye.... I think I will miss T the most and he will miss A

Thanks Kelly!! I was totally freaking out!!

Aunt Flo decided to drop in for an unannounced visit and I am having surgery on FRIDAY!!! Can I still have surgery while TOM is around?? What should I do????

Beautiful!! Absolutely Beautiful!!! I love it!!!!!!!!! I know the other one is just as beautiful!! Congrats!!!
