Adding the protein to the veggies kills two birds with one stone. When I had the lap band they were a waste of space today I love them. Protein and veggies!!!

Each nutritionist is different as well, they want you to get your protein in first then veggies and starch after that in that order. Eating a salad with protein kills two birds with one stone. Veggies also keep you fuller during the day. When I had the lap band, to me the salad was a waste of space now I love them with tuna and deli meat. Some can tolerate it, some can't.

Great job!

Definately ask your doc or nurse. I started cardio a week after and progresses from there. I got the ok yesterday to use weights yeah!!!

I'm 4 weeks today and was told I am good to go with anything just to go slow with abs. Can't wait to do weights!

The dietician said that the dumping was caused by the heavy cream. No more ice cream from the ice cream places maybe from the supermarket where I can see/read the ingredients.

Just met with my dietician and let her know that I do get in my 64 oz of fluid but it's hard without the straw. She said it was ok for me to use one but just beware of how quick you suck the fluids down. Each person is different. So I'm gonna try it.

I've got an appointment with the nurse and dietician today do I'll find out

It was very disappointing. But sweets us my weakness do guess it's good

I dumped last night on no sugar added ice cream. Worse feeling in the world. Felt neausous light headed chills sweaty. Lasted about 45 min. I don't think I'll try that again.

No issues as of now. Had it on a salad and just by itself.

It's funny how each surgeon is different. I'm supposed to have 1-2 oz of soft protein along with my protein shake. Sadly the 2 oz don't make me full. However well see how tuna works for me.

Congrats D! They gave me the ok for soft protein foods. I had the best scrambled egg with fat free cheese so far so good but I don't feel full. Let's see how tomorrow goes. Off to the gym.

Great advice and so very true!!

Try to get your protein in at every stage. I had a problem to but switched to syntax nectar and just added crystal light flavorings to make them go down.

Found it. There are a few but look for the logo

D you're on purée now? Man I'm jealous I'm hoping Wednesday for me. I started walking at the gym it feels great!!

I almost licked the juice from some baked beans but was afraid. I see the doc on Wednesday and hoping I get the green light for puréed. My husband promised me his famous chili but he's using turkey instead of beef.

It gets better. I'll be one week post op tomorrow the first day home I had a meltdown but doing alot better. Good luck!!

Thank you Music. I really needed that!

I can't wait either these protein shakes are killing me.

You'll be happy to be home. Relax, walk and drink your fluids. Good luck!!

My bed is much more comfy than the hospital one. The pain isn't too bad but I did take the roxicet and something else to help me sleep. How long are you out from work? So far I'm going back on the 6 th.

I am home. Trying to get in my 64 oz and some protein. The shower feels great didnt it lol. Hope to sleep iny own bed tonight. Keep me posted on how u are doing. Are u on Facebook?

I'm two days out and waiting for the pain everyone is having. I have no gas pains, no sin from surgery ANC I can keep my liquids down. I also got my period but it's not to bad. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
