I'm preop..but based on my mothers experience and other posters yes..especially with the bread. Bread tends to paste up or swell in your stomach and fill u fast. Most ppl avoid bread, tortillas ect for quite some time after surgery. Many have problems with it long term.

Feel better soon!! Walk and walk some more : )

Hope you are doing well. Walk, walk!! : )

Congrats on your date. Im March 28. Kelly

I filed thru Turbo tax last Saturday. My federal was just deposited today. If that makes anyone feel a little better. That was quick.

Hope u are doing well. Wishing a speedy recovery.

You're in my thoughts! May all go smoothly. You know I'm counting on your detailed review!! ; )

Lol I don't know..but in perm ink I'm writing across my stomach "VSG here"..just in case.

Thanks for posting..it helps to slowly get pieces of the puzzle. I just HAD to pick the surgeon w/ drama..lol. sigh.

Sara, thanks. I'm sure it'll be fine. I certainly won't starve in 10 days..I have a few reserve tanks : ). I was just surprised as so many are on protein drinks just a couple days post. My mom went home same day on "whatever was tolerable, no restrictions" gasp!!

Wow! Best wishes to you for Saturday! Let us know how it goes. I'm excited for you! Yes, it does mention beginning the Protein early if lethargic. I will be returning to work day 10 and don't wanna be a slug. Lol

Way to go! Great story and awesome inspiration.

Oh WOW! Congrats to you both! Handsome, beautiful and both looking so much younger! Great inspiration guys!!!

I tried isopure..icky. lol but my instructions say NO protein for 10 days. Even Nectars. UNLESS I begin to feel lethargic. Which is probable after a few days. Lol

Wow. Dr. Kellys office just sent my diet info. Pre- not so bad. 3 days liquid..a fine puree once a day. (Lower bmi) Post- whew whee..I can see the challenge here. 1 week clears and juice. 2 more weeks of liquids Not even any protein shake or yogurt for 10 days?? Then..purees til week 5. Ok there. But 10 days with no protein. Wow...I'll suck it up. Lol (no pun intended) but I think I'm gonna be HUNGRY with nothing to provide a full feeling. (Groan)

I second the better than bullion. You can adjust the flavor intensity as you like. Homemade of course is always awesome. Another thing is to use a boxed veggie broth or a chicken broth and add unjury chicken protein to the broth. Flavorful and more filling.

Welcome to you both. And Congrats! I hope you find alot of support and helpful info here. Both of your surgeries are right around the corner! Wow. Mine isn't until March, but it's been scheduled since Sept..so now I'm getting nervous and excited too. Best of luck!

Awesome job! And no doubt, keep rockin that sleeve and u can meet your bday goal!

Congrats! And Happy Birthday!!
