Ok...
So wow this has been such a transformation for me so far very happy with results so far and are seeing numbers on the scale I have NEVER seen that's great AWESOME actually never experienced such a thing before feels great but my BIGGEST upset is this nauseous feeling I get every morning... I take my acid blockers at night that helps with the burning but I feel empty like no food in my tummy at all I hate eating at this hour very early 5am/6am because all I want to do is go back to sleep and enjoy my morning easing into my Breakfast, it's like I have to eat something to feel better and if I pick the wrong (soft food) to consume like sweets (Protein drink, apple sauce, yogurt I get so nauseous and tummy starts going crazy wanting to vomit. So yes I am trying to stay away from the sweets as a coat for my tummy but choose more warm foods but wow I have to actually cook the food (not a fan of microwave food, would rather bake it taste better/boil/sear) and the microwave food I can handle cant eat right now at this stage. So Im like really now I have to have bfast when I don't even want to cook/eat ahhhhh just wanna sleep pls help thx.

@@Veronica Page.... I was only on Clear Liquids 2 days before surgery to help shrink my liver and in hospital when I was able to be discharged from the hospital then I was able to be on full liquids that's anything liquid and not clear. So yes food as long as no lumps/clumps(through the strainer) and able to run easy off a spoon. Example: Thinned applesauce but no pudding or yogurt. You can thin out anything though with juice Water or milk lol. And @ReadyForMe PLEASE SHARE ALL SOFT FOOD IDEAS I CANT WAIT FOR TEXTURE EITHER!

1 week post op down 15lbs since surgery. I noticed that becoming creative with your Protein Drinks really help a lot. Start with a good Protein mix (whey) whether its amp max premier lean body jay robs Isopure find your match this is important. Next Google protein recipes your interested in you must shop for all ingredients and follow the recipe to the T. Make sure your measuring right and for the liquid part try and use real milk (non fat 1% 2%etc) because that's what has the most protein in it. I use lactaid free with Calcium (yellow top blue container)(has 10g of protein in 1 serving that's a lot and that's just to liquify your shake. Another key important rule I have learned is GREEK YOGURT! CHOBANI IS 20G PROTEIN for a cup! That's 30g protein without p. powder already. Next have fun in the frozen fruit in fresh fruit aisle also spice n flavor booster aisles... Buy SF Carmel, sf vanilla, pumpkin spice, chai,decaf instant coffee add some to a dark choc recipe and bam your very own mocha FRAP. Or pumpkin/chair frap, also key lime pie protein drinks you only need, lime lemon juice and non fat cool whip for this recipe (I also bought 50%reduced fat graham cracker pie crust) to add to it to give it a more pie like flavor. You have to make the best out of this liquid stage. Even if it's a little higher in sugar than recommended. The key importance is getting fluids and protein in. You can always make good sugar choices though for example I use stevia in the raw to add sweetness and plain Greek chobani yogurt vs. Vanilla flavored. You can also get SF Torani syrups and Starbucks syrups online. For Soups get creative. I like going to restaurants every day for what I feel is a treat getting anywhere from a lobster bisque, clam chowder to even chili from Wendy's go home heat it up then blend the hell out of it so there's no lumps or bumps. My NUTRITIONIST SAID... AS long as it runs off your spoon with ease its considered a liquid! Even if its potato buds in a box thinned out with milk/water or buttery cream of wheat thinned out with Water. When you master the art of liquefying you'll be so much happier n satisfied. I promise hope this helps cause it's helped me. Also Popsicles with the cream on the inside is a good treat and lactaid free low sugar ice cream with a splash of milk in the blender is so satisfying. We have already been deprived of no texture food until about month two/3 so let's make the best of it. Also I hear the Bariatric Advantage chews(chewies)not gummies for a multi Vitamin option are the best they come in choc. Peanut Butter n orange flavor. Good luck

@@Pac-woman I'm glad you know what works for you. I sure as Hell don't, lol. Frankly I think ibuprofen is the best at killing my pain. I must be a light weight. Percocet makes me crazy. Like body sleepy and mind racing. So discombobulating to me. I don't think I can take any opiates anymore since I had a bad reaction to a morphine shot. My whole body cramped up. It was super painful. They had to give me 2 benadryl shots before it settled down.

Hi to us who've made it!! Officially post op and feeling great!
