Power peanut butter very good for you..mix it up 1st then up it in your blender with your protein shanks every good later down the road you can use it as a spread .

Baby spoon and I set my Iphone timer it helps to slow me down But I just got my sleeve March 4th and I still use very little little cup's to drink and eat with ... and chew chew chew ..

Italy Ice S/F and popscicles try to get your water in and protein malt o meal very very thin cream soup's maybe sugar free hot chocolate and hot teas ..Be good to yourself !!!

If I eat to fast man o man the pain I use my timer on my Iphone for 10mins and I stop for 10mins then I can stop or take another bite it helps to slow me down all ways been a fast eater and chew chew chew hard to do!!

Hang in there everyone has a stall try to up your water and more protein not everyone is the same and start moving more I walk a lot more I had a stall also but I start to lose inches and they weight again I all so read this great book Weight Loss for Dummies it's been a life saver has a lot of answer good luck Don't eat fast food you will get very very stick !! I DO the same thing reading labels it takes for ever to shop.. It's a new way of Life!!

Please don't get discouraged...I felt the same about 4-5 days post-op I think it's coming off all the drugs they give you..major surgery is hard on the body and the brain you just had 80% of your stomach remove and depression and anxiety is part of it be good to your self it get's better day by day.I am 10 days post op and today was my best day a little cramps if I drink to fast but at 54 yrs old it's been slow going I not upset with my family the other day and I just went outside and enjoyed the sun and it helps...Good Luck!!

Eating to fast will make you feel that away my Dr said it takes about 4mos for the stomach to get back on track you had a surgery that remove 85% of your stomach out time will help but get all of your protein In I have to get 65g-70g a day Good Luck!! I also use my timer on my Iphone to help me to slow down..

You can make your own clear foods.Like chicken soup ect...as for protein I use Whey from Walmart Body Fortress it's good for protein powers. I have gone to YouTube a lot for help and great advice I got lots of sugar free jello,hot tea,soups I know this is going to be the hardest part to do the per-op.I went to the Baby food area at Walmart I got my little Baby cups,spoons,fork,and slippcups and some foods with no cals,fat,sugars free also got the book,Weight Loss surgery for Dummies great book for prepare for surgery and achieve the best results.Do a lot of walking in and out of the hospital it will help with the gas and weight loss good luck to you might take some lip balm with you to the hospital so Happy for you!!!
