Yes it was!! Hard to look at a shake again. Lived a lot on the Isopure drinks. Ordered at Amazon and 40gr of protein, different flavors. It really helped me.

Hey SusieQ, How are you doing? I kinda got lost with the new look of this site and went back to work last week playing catch up. You OK?

How do we do a private message? You can use my email too if you like. roboniko@cox.net It is funny how the doctors do things differently. I didn't have a pre op diet, just basically a modified atkins diet with limited amounts and that was only 9 days out. There seems to be no consistency.

It will take me about an hour to drink one. Usually in the morning and the evening and I just keep sipping on it, especially while watching TV or a movie I just keep it in my hand. I notice if I set it down I will stop drinking. Tomorrow is my first days back to work in full time so I am going to have to plan and REMEMBER to bring stuff with me. Usually I forget to bring it and then it is a pain.

Feeling OK for th emost part. In the liquids stage till Wed, then pureed of whatever after that. Although I did cheat a little on the soups part. Went to Randols tonight and had a bowl of crawfish bisque, well half a bowl anyways. No rice and chewedthe heck out of the crawfish. It was good and most importantly I was satisfied both physically and mentally. I had time to think about if I was full or not and when to stop. So my bariatric team would probably condemn me for this I was actually happy and felt accomplished because for the first time I feel like I really had control over my eating a not the other way around. It felt good to be in control for a change. I have also had the cheddar and broccoli soup fro McAllister's. I blend the broccoli and I get 2 meals out of a bowl. VERY TASTY!

Averaging about a pound a day right now. I been drinking the Isopure w/40g of protein, 2 a day.

Who did your sleeve? Are you in Lafayette?

Hey SusieQ, how have you been? I am doing OK. Got the drain out Wed. and feel much better. ANother 4 days of liquid then pureed. Been under a lot of stress this week with work and my Dad. He has been in the hospital since the beginning of the month and I have been trying to take of his affairs and all. Glad it is the weekend though. Still losing weight so that is the positive in my days.

Went full liquids day after getting home. You doing oK? Are you back to regular foods yet? If so, how does that transition work?

Hanging in there but Saints lost so really jonesn for some comfort food NOW! Guess I will just have to put some hot sauce in the broth tonight! The time will pass once I can get back to work and I am already starting some pureed recipes to hit right away.

Hi Dave: No post op issues so far. I am in full liquids stage and hungry, I think. Tired of liquids. Think I just need something with some kind of substance other than broth and protein drinks. It is getting tough. Any ideas?

Hang in there. Are you still on liquids or puree? The liquid thing is killing me right now. I am wanting some broccoli and cheese soup but not to sure I can have it. Thinking of trying it anyway and blending the broccoli down.

On another note, How many cc's of drain fluid were you going thru and when did it stop? I am changing mine twice a day and averaging about 35. Just wondering if that was normal, they are supposed to remove on Weds. next week.

How was yours? You OK?

Yes everything went well. Was going to come home on wednesday but had a slight fever and threw up a little once so he kept me overnight. Got home yesterday about 5pm. Glad to be home!!

Have you had yours yet? Scheduled? I am going in next Tuesday.
