So I caved a little and been drinking some juices not too bad tho like a cup a day the last three days. I'm going to go get some poweraid and vitamin water since I like them a bunch before surgery! Keep the suggestions coming please. I tried the crystal light iced tea it's about the closest I got to no after taste and it being pretty good.

Does this have after taste to it?

I have lost about 70-80 pounds in 11 weeks. Had my surgery on the 21st of nov. I have yet to cheat I stay under 20 carbs a day/eat three good meals a day two almost always protein shakes but lately I can't stand water! Is there any good drinks below 20 carbs or have a little more that actually taste good and don't have that nasty after taste most diet drinks do!? I would appreciate the help its getting tough drinking 64oz of something you don't like!

Thinks i enjoy Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, Tea, Gatorade is ok, and especially water. Broth is very good if you like things warm.

I am almost six weeks in {Dec 26th} Anyways i was wondering if anyone has tried ketosis in the past and if you think it would be a good idea to try it while having the sleeve. Right now I'm pretty much on any solid i have yet to try carbs and have been limiting at the very most 50 a day but normally i get 15-20. My meals consist of Meat and cheese mostly then water i was wondering if i should be doing anything different. I'm 370 now after starting at 414.5. I plan on starting protein shakes every morning once they come in i ordered them a couple days ago.

I am now 376 so I got my goal weight a couple days earlier

Not a whole cup of course but 1/4 of one.

Had About a cup of ground beef plus shredded cheddar cheese made 2 meals, a little bit of yesterdays chili barely anything tho and a protein shake. Lots of water in between. All together about 800 cals 29 carbs 48 fat 90 protein. I'm 16 days post-op.

Hope everything goes well and good luck.

I woke up around 12 pm took all my pills/vitamins as soon as i woke up. At about 2 ate a hot dog with shredded cheese [cut it up into small bites and chewed really well] Everything went down good no problems. Drank a lot of water in between then at about 8 pm felt a little hungry so went out and got my self a small wendys chili. Still haven't finished it, No problems going down. Feel really proud simply because i really starting to learn when enough is enough and stop i also am stopping from being so scared of food. I can't stay on protein shakes forever i just can't handle the taste sorry. I started this journey at 414.5 i weighed my self today i am now 379. Just wondering if today was good or bad.

This is the first time i am hearing of the week three stall, I hit week three tomorrow. Oh no.

I confess, even tho I'm 14 days post op I'm craving a lot of Italian food. I confess, that I'm scared I'm going to become some scumbag a*****e if i get skinny. I'm already cute and cocky, No bueno. I confess, That it sucks being so young, I'm 18 and having such serious stresses like pre diabetes, high blood pressure, possible heart fallure to deal with. I confess, I'm very alone with the whole process outside of VST, I skipped this next year my first year in college for this surgery and I'm hoping it's all worth it. I confess, that even when i walk around with a smile on my face most of the time being nice and what not I'm truly not. I stress a lot and over think my self into depression. One more, I confess that WHEN i am skinny I WILL NOT let myself get back to anywhere near the weight i am now. f**k that, I'll be sexy forever.

Was sleeve on Nov 21st Weighed about 414.5 and Now I'm sitting at about 382. Really depressed about seeing so much food and not really being able to eat even tho my mind says i am hungry other then that doing really well. Hope you get over the stall.

That's defiantly going to help a lot, I need to start drinking at least two Protein shakes right now my day looks like One Protein shake when i wake up, Water all day, An Egg with string cheese. That's it.

I'm doing pretty good, started my pre op diet at 414.5 now i am around 385. Anyone got some suggestions on what i should start eating this week before i try solids next week. I have done eggs, string cheese, juices, protein shakes, Broths, and water. I bought sugar free pops, pudding, and unsweetened apple sauce help me out on some other things.
