How Do You Plan Your Meals?
I voted that I sit down on weekends and plan the week. That's what I've always done and what I will continue to do. However, I'm only 6 weeks out and not everything tastes "right" so my menu planning is on hold for now for myself (but I plan for others in household). I do buy a variety of Protein and eat what sounds good or what I can tolerate.

Pain in left lower stomach
Are you sure it isn't coming from an area close to an incision? Internal stitches can pull when you bend or lay down and get up.

2 things that worried me the most.
I, too, was sooooo worried about the gas. I HAD NONE! Before surgery, I ordered lots of samples of Protein so that after surgery, I would have several to pick from. As long as you are taking your Vitamins and getting protein in, you shouldn't have malnutrition issues. I don't eat a lot but I do make sure I get my protein in, both with real food and protein powders.

Any February 2014 Sleevers?
I've been drinking Syntrax Nectar Lemon Tea with Crystal light peach mango tea mixed with it. It's very good. I mix both in 20 oz of water. So i get protein AND water in that way. Just a suggestion!
