Boston George

Had my 2 week post op yesterday. Im down 22 lbs since surgery. And I can eat regular food. So excited!!

God didnt intend us to do the following: sit at a desk 40 hours a week have fast food restaurants with drive thrus have addictive , chemically engineered food with transfat, salt, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup have cars that drive us door to door everywhere were we go have us watch tv 20 hours a week have the animals we eat injected with growth hormones, antibiotics, and steroids. Causing our food to be higher in calories and fat. We could go on and on. If God didnt intend us to have WLS, than he wouldn't have let things become the way they are. We are the fattest country on earth.

If it was me, I would call my dr. Don't want to mess around with that

Anybody try tomato soup? Is that acceptable you think?

I've been eating the trader joes brand. Greek plain. Went down pretty easy

How did you know I was from Boston :-) I actually live in Arlington, very close to Watertown. My NUT allows yogurt in stage 3. So that has been a big help. They actually brought me yogurt the 2nd morning in the hospital. It really helps to change things up. If your allowed yogurt I would try it.

*surgery, dam I phone! You already know you are going to do great :-) You have done s much research. The waiting is honestly the hardest part.

Good luck and prayers to everybody getting sleeved today. The waiting is the hardest part. It will be over before you know it.

wow that's coming up so soon! that's hysterical about the anesthesia;-) You have done all your homework so I know you'll do great! Where are you having your survey?

Thank you so much :-) it's been challenging on all liquids. When's your big day?! Im always here to talk as well

I bought the unjury chocolate splendor. They are smooth and easy on the stomach. What I did was buy a variety pack of isopure ready to drink. They have all juice flavors. They are good, but a tad sweet. I dilute them with water a bit. What helps to is if you buy vanilla protein powder, then add a teaspoon of sugar free Hershey chocolate or strawberry syrup. it really helps to have variety.

It's my pleasure to help. Im doing better. My biggest challenge has been meeting my Protein and liquid goals. It takes so long to finish a protein shake! I would have never thought this would be the biggest challenge :-) Im just trying do the right things :-). I'm down almost 20lbs

Yes, I felt the exact same. To be honest, I've yet to fully hit my water or Protein goal. I just do the best I can. I'll have some fluids as soon as I wake up. then 45 mins later I try to have a Protein Shake. I try to repeat that process as often as my stomach lets me. Just do your best, gets as much of it as you can. Even if you have to spend an hour and take tint, annoying sips :-) It gets easier each day. I promise. Get as much in as you can. Take your time. We're all having trouble meeting those goals of liquids and proteins

Me too ! I don't know if I can do it tonight, takes so long and the taste is getting to me. Oh well, It was my choice. Are you allowed yogurt yet?

Im not doing a good job getting full amount of fluids and proteins in. Not that I cannot tolerate them, I stay so full after a small shake. I got really lightheaded tonight. that happen to anybody else?

Who else is sick of protein shakes ?! I feel like it's coming out of my ears!
