Your transformation is amazing! You look absolutely wonderful! Congrats!!!

Congrats!!! That is a great accomplishment!

I ordered my samples from bjs bariatric.com its a pack of 11, and you pick the flavors that you want. I believe it was around $13.

I am with you!!! I have struggled with this, and I know it will be easier once we can have food that has protein in it. For now, it's a battle. I ordered some samples of unjury unflavored and mixed HALF of a packet in 24oz of fruit punch crystal light, and it tasted like pure vitamins. It was horrible!!! I also had ordered samples of Syntrax Nectors (assorted flavors), I made a blended shake with the double cookie crunch today and I have to say, it's pretty damn good! I have a hard time with the consistency of milk, so products that are "milky" have always been difficult for me to drink. If I had a straw, I would be able to get it down much easier....

Hello! Feeling great! I'm seven days out now (well, I guess right days since its almost midnight) . Had horrible nausea and gas pains for the first couple of days... Not I feel absolutely "normal". My abdominal muscles are still sore, but nothing horrid. Feels like I've been working out my abs hardcore. Having difficulty getting in all of my fluids, but I keep pushing along. I did have a pretty big breakdown last night from all of the emotional ups and downs. I have been preparing all meals for my family since surgery and its been a bittersweet duty. I love being able to smell the food and to cook, but as soon as I'm done and they are eating (and I'm not), the reality sets in. I KNOW it's temporary, but never the less, it's hard to deal with. Other than that, life has been good. Very grateful that I was able to have this surgery done! Tomorrow morning I start on introducing yogurts, sf pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and sf apple sauce. It will be nice to have a bit of substance to my diet now. Thanks for checking on me.

Ha!!! Well, look at it as calories out! make sure you don't get dehydrated from it though. I'm the complete opposite (and a bit concerned now), I'm seven days post op and haven't had any movement at all!!! Just gas, no urge to go.

I just ordered samples packets to give it a try (unflavored only). I also ordered an assortment pack (11 packets) of Syntrax Nectors. The syntrax has some fruit flavors and some "shake" flavors. I figured being new at this, I need to find a couple protein flavors/mixes that I can tolerate. I was a HUGE fan of Premier Protein shakes pre surgery. I would drink them on a daily basis to get use to drinking them after surgery. Unfortunately, they make me gag now. I thought it was the consistency, so I added some Water, I tried drinking it on ice, tried blending it... Nope still couldn't take it down. I'm looking forward to trying these new ones out.

I AM SOOOOOO READY FOR THIS RICOTTA BAKE!!! I have been staring at the pic of it since I got home from surgery! I cannot wait to have it Wednesday night!!!

LMAO!!!!! Not pizza!!!! Are you mad crazy!?!? LOOOL!
