I was mixing with water/juice till today and ll those little balls are a pain! Today I emptied it onto a spoon tht had some smoothie on it and it went down great! Dr. Suggested pudding and then applesauce later on.

I use Chike, which my drs office has. I actually purchased online through celebratevitamins.com, along with my multi vitamin and calcium.

Had a tough time on Tuesday and my bp went through the roof. I'm usually right around 115/65 and it was running 160/100. I also was having med withdrawl from my antidpressant. Very sleepy and lethargic that day as well, so I ended up staying an extra night. Once I got home, I was up 10lbs! Well, hullo! Holy Fluid, Batman! Lost that in the first day and my bp was back to normal. I haven't had any other issues. Was to move from clears to full liquids today, but ended up having a Protein shake last night and some pudding, with added Protein powder. I was light headed, my stomach was growling like nobody's business. I've "eaten" about every 3 hours today. Finished off the shake fom last night with about 1/4 container of yogurt for bfast, some more pudding and a fruit smoothie, with added protein, for lunch. Snack of the rest of the smoothie mid afternoon, and some puréed potato Soup for dinner. I was really craving something with good flavor, finally! Each meal was about 1/8 of a cup and I felt satisfied.

I take Cymbalta and it's a Capsule so I just open it up into pudding.

I as going to discontinue lortab and just take Tylenol. I was just wondering what dosage I could take of liquid or melts.

I'm having terrible headaches and I'm wondering if it's related o the Lortab. What Tylenol/dosage do you take? Was thinking of picking some up today.

I was sleeved on Monday as well. I ended up staying an extra day in the hospital bc I was experiencing high bp, in addition to Cymbalta withdrawal. Take the Wellbutrin. It will make all the difference. Today is better than yesterday, so tomorrow will be better than today I've had a pounding headache all day bc of caffeine. I've decided to make half caff tea to alleviate the headache, making sure to get plenty of other fluids.

Went to see the surgeon and nutritionist today. They were pleased with my weight loss and even told me to go have my fave meal for dinner tonight and that I could prolly eat a responsible meal each day till surgery, watching the carbs, and have shakes for the other two meals.

I'm June 25th! Wahooooo! I've plateaued the last 4 days as well.

Thanks! That article is really interesting! Makes sense. I've actually eaten a little today in hopes of busting the plateau.

I'm on day 8 of my presurgery diet. In the first 4 days I dropped 19 lbs. I've lost nothing the second 4. This is weird! Anyone have a similar experience? 4 shakes a day, veggies
