I was 2 weeks, but went back light duty, which meant sitting a lot! I probably should have been off 3 weeks! I had no energy, I wasn't drinking enough water!! Once I pushed the Water I felt much better!! Good luck

I'm from Ontario, and we aren't suppose to have any protein shakes!! I'm 12 days post op and I'm onto full liquids, so my protein comes from yogurt, milk, carnation inst breakfast (sf) I also put powdered milk in my soups!! Very hard to get protein until I move onto food

It's wired I notice all over my body, especially when I lay on my back, my stomach is getting flat, not a skinny flat lol but flat, no rolls!! Lol I'm 2 weeks post op on Thursday!! HW 314. SW 295 CW 278

I'm the same with Greek yogurt, so I have "source yogurt" no sugar added, lemon flavor with 1part Greek for extra protein. Taste good then lol

Have you tried Lipton chicken noodle Soup, I make it at about 250ml, then I strain it into another cup with a fine strainer, then once again back to my cup. So much better then just plain broth!! Actually tasted like my hospital "chicken broth" lol

I go tomorrow at 2!! Getting nervous/excited!! Best of luck to you and a smooth recovery!!!!

London, having surgery in Guelph on Thursday!!

Hi there I'm new, but my surgery date is July11th in Ontario Canada!! It's been 2 years to get this date, we have a very slow process!! But it's finally here!! I've been on Optifast for 1 week and 1 more to go!! I found the first 4 days very hard, now I'm ok, drinking a lot of water to keep full!! Love reading all the post
