Hey, Thanks! I have one of those. I am going to give it a try when I reach the 30 day mark. ☺
My local Whole Foods carries it. You could buy 1 pack and see if you like it before investing in a larger shipment onlineJust saw the link to the online site. I will have to wait until I am ready to order several things so the shipping charges will be waved. Wish I could find locally.

I am eating this Explore Asian Protein Pasta made from Beans as well. It is awesome. The garbonzo bean spaghetti tastes exactly like ... Wait for it...spaghetti. I can also testify that the fiber is for real. You will not be constipated if you eat this with some bolognese (meat) sauce. I use both the zucchini noodles and the explore Asian pasta with my meat sauce - it's protein veg and eating real food like a normal person all rolled into one. I have to admit that it tastes so good I am still a little skeptical but I can tell you that the fiber is for real.
Where can you get this?

My surgery was 9/30. I also had very lose stool in the beginning. Probably will for a while - liquid in, liquid out.
I focused on liquids until day 5 because I couldn't tolerate the thick Protein shakes. I did enjoy syntax unflavored protein in a warm cup of chicken or beef bullion cubes. The salty taste just sat better on my stomach than the sweet. I started protein shakes after day 5.

Congratulations!
I hadn't thought of that! I have some rings I can shrink back into! That's is something else to look forward too!

Don't give up friend. Press on. I experienced a good bit of nausea my first few days and did not meet the recommended goals either. I couldn't tolerate Protein until day 5 or later.
What worked for me was an ounce shot glass that I sipped from. In the beginning it took 5 sips to get one down per hour. The next day I went for two oz per hour., and increased from there. For me, once I could tolerate the liquid goal, I could tolerate the protein.
My NUT and Dr were more concerned with liquids early on than protein.

You look amazing! Thanks for sharing you victory!

I use the Bariatric Advantage lemon flavor Calcium / D3 chews and love them. I got my mom the caramel and she says they are great too. I am 10 days post op.

Same here. Could only tolerate pre made during pre-op liquid and they turn my stomach post op. Powder for me now.LOL now see I can't stand the premade (tastes like plastic to me) and can only tolerate the powder!
I do find adding icemakes them even more enjoyable.

@@SleevePerry You look amazing!
Running is a goal for me. I have started walking (9 days post op today), but I dream of being able to run a mile. How / when did you get started?
Congratulations on your success.

I have a desk job and I am currently 9 days post op. I will be going back to work on Monday which will be 11 days post op. I have been running errands, shopping and light walking. I feel that I could have gone back at 7 days post op.
I agree that it is very individualized, and you will be able to tell around 5 days post op. I took off 2 weeks, but will go back on Monday.

I think you are right on track. I am day 5 as well and attempted the grocery store and was really beat after 45 minutes of just pointing. Don't be discouraged, you will get better each day.

@@bibleajosc I still have not pushed Protein yet. I could only get down 2 Oz and it got so thick I just couldn't tolerate any more. I plan to try again tomorrow which will be day 5.
Did your Dr give you a PPI? I hope the heartburn eases up soon.

I am 3 days post op and I had the yuck mouth as well. It was the worst. I am only drinking Water trying to get my fluids and this morning it is already much better. I am not taking any meds so I assume it was either them or anesthesia.
I will try some Protein on day 4 or 5 as I get nauseous really easy.
Good luck to you all!

Great news ANewMe9/21! Hope it goes very well! I am down a total of 22 pounds. 14 pre op and 8 since surgery. I gained 14 pounds from 3 days of iv, so that took about 4 days to lose.
Congrats on your loss! I lost 8 lbs on my liquid pre-op diet and gained them back with the IV as well.

@ and ANewMe9/21 Thanks for the feedback. I am going for 3 Oz of Clear Liquids an hour today. I just can tolerate the Protein yet, and assume if nothing else I need to get the fluids down. Glad you both are well.

Way to go on your weight loss ladies!
I went back to work this week and I am doing well. I am getting in iver 60 oz of Water and 60-80 g of Protein every day at this point. I go for my follow up with my surgeon 10/15 and can't wait to move on to pureed foods. He actually suggest that we chew the food to the puree. Any who, I am excited to move on.
I have already incorporated low fat cottage cheese into my diet this week. I chew it really well and think it is s healthier option for me calorie and protein wise over yogurt. I can't find yogurt that I like without all the extras that I don't need and I love the cottage cheese plain.
What's on your plates? ( or cups?)
