Anything like split pea soup, bean with bacon soup with less water, refried beans etc. all are very satisfying even pureed. Just keep them thick enough to not be runny and they are very satisfying IMO. A little difficult to get out of the blender though LOL

The Sugar Free Tropical flavors rule the world. That is all.

I mix Vanilla Torte flavored Syntax Nectar with 1% milk. Milk is a protein bomb so consider that. Just drinking milk I could probably get my 60 oz. of daily protein in....

I haven't been constipated for a couple weeks now.

19 DAYS OUT. Lost 20 lbs. in the first 2 weeks, but currently experiencing the 3 week stall (at 2 weeks apparently.) My blood sugar is between 115-125 consistently-down from over 300 consistently. Did my diabetes go away?

I had my surgery in my hometown of Boise, ID, by Dr. Jim Valentine. I have 4 small (3/8") incisions and one larger (1-1/2"). I don'tt have any pain from the gas but just a lot of annoying gurgling and boinging around. I still haven't pooped.

My first post! Had VSG on Wednesday, everything went well. My first question is this: After reading a lot of peoples experiences in the first week or two post op, it sounds like most people aren't having serious pain from their large incision site after a few days. I am. The kind that Diluadins don't help. Is my pain relatively normal? It's the transitions that are killing me, getting up, sitting down, etc. Even walking causes pain from the incision, so I'm limited mobilly at this point and I'd like to be able to walk more. Question 2 is I'm extremely gassy internally but can't seem to get anything to come out, and it's driving me bananas. I've taken 2 Gas X pills in the afternoon, and I can get a little to come out, but not much. The stomach muscles I use to try to fart are the ones that are in so much pain right now.
