Day 3 of my 12 day diet. Optifast shake x5 for 10 days and clears for 2. I want to chew on my own arm.

I have not been sleeved until next week, but I did have an open cholecystectomy with 3 drains. I fainted when they pulled out the JP drain. It didn't hurt, but something about the sensation triggered a vasovagal reaction (swooning). How embarrassing! They called 911 (i was in the doctors office) Just Do It!!!

You are right. The gummies I got were not calcium citrate, and my Nut says calcium phosphates or calcium gluconates are not absorbed by sleeves, so I bought calcium citrate chews at the local Tommy K Vitamins Just Do It!!!

Drooling....lobstah bisk ya. My favorite! Just Do It!!!

Time for a trip to the doctor. Just Do It!!!

My husband is a boxing instructor and fitness trainer for NY Sports Club. (his hobby)I don't go to his classes because of 4 little ones at home, but I know a lot of his students that absolutely love it. At home it is fun, but the in the gym, It is a BIG workout. Just Do It!!!

I hear you. I will be working, on the road, it just seems convenient. I actually had baby food before way back when I was in my 20s to stay under 130 lbs. didn't seem so bad then. I figure that I (meaning me, myself and I and not making presumptions for others) I can do it for one week. I may try to puree the meat I cook for the family (protein first) at dinner, but anything pureed is maybe not so yummy, in my taste. Let me know of any yummy pureed recipes. Just Do It!!!

I am entitled to an opinion about baby food, having raised 9 of them. Nothing inappropriate about that. Really? Just Do It!!!

Fairfield Bariatrics on the CT gold coast, Dr Craig Floch. It is stage 3 week 3, pureed diet. Puree everything, but baby meats for protein are a good alternative and high in protein. A 2 1/2 oz jar of chicken, turkey or beef has between 8 and 10 grams of protein. i don't see what the big deal is, on the go. It's not like forever. Just Do It!!!

Pure Protein Shakes are ok 35 g in 12 oz can, 170 calories Just Do It!!!

GROSS!!! Just Do It!!!

I had my pre-op visit last week. The nirse told me post op week 2 any Protein Shake EXCEPT Atlins okr Slimfast...too many calories for the Protein buck. Just Do It!!!

Wow, good for you. Glad you had a great time. I refuse to wear closed toe shoes until halloween, LOL Just Do It!!!

CT here too. What part? I am in North Stamford' date=' originally lived in Madison

Well' date=' every surgeon is different. Mine has me on mushies on week 3. Week 1 is clears week 2 is full liquids, 3 mushies, 4 soft, 5 re introduce solid foods

PB2 has 45 calories and 5 grams of Protein, so once a day should be great. I bought some torani sugar free syrups made with sucralose (not as healthy as PB2, but zero calories) i tried Peanut Butter and salty caramel in my Optifast, and it definitely yummed it up. I have vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon, white chocolate, and gingerbread flavors for oatmeal during my soft phase and for Breakfast afterwards. I had to buy a case of the assorted flavors on amazon, but it was only 35 for 6 bottles.

Mushies is a week. Can only eat about 3 oz of protein per meal anyway. Add some condiments and baby meats arent that bad...honestly, it's just a week

You letting us know, brought a tear to my ear. So glad she has a great hubby by her side.

Many ins companies will ask for a two year weight history from your pcp for a bmi of 40. For bmi lass than 40 to 35 you may need one or two comorbidities as well

Many surgeons require a pre op diet because it shrinks the liver making. Isualization with a laperscope easier
