Well, I take 2 oz of canned chicken but it in a microwaveable bowl, add some hot sauce and stir, then add a laughing cow cheese and 1/4 cup of low fat shredded cheddar, mix it all together, place in microwave and cover with paper towel, and cook on high for 2 minutes, stir. Now it can be eaten with a spoon as is or placed back in the microwave for another 2 minutes and it comes out as a crisp which is really good.

I'm four weeks post-op and I still do not drink any iced drinks. I like room temp or Hot Drinks. I found in the hospital that cold causes me cramps I'm my new tummy, so I'm just taking my time with cold. The first week is hard but you'll get through it and I promise it does get better. The time passes quick and you will get to feeling better.

Thanks for all the ideas for getting more liquids in! I downloaded an interval timer on my phone and have had it on at work today. I've done much better today!
I also like the idea of the Water holster! Please tell us where you got it.

Sleeved December 18th 2013. .5'5 starting weight 260..stepped on the scale this morning and showed 225 yeyyy...wow..super excited started working out Monday and I feel better

I had a stall about 3-4 weeks out. Starting going to the gym and walking the treadmill for 30 minutes than doing the "sit-down" elliptical (not sure the correct name for it), and the leg press, hoping it would jump start me again.
I think it might be due to our increase of food during this time? Hormonal changes as well? I have heard it passes..I am 6 week post-op as of today and down a few more pounds. My clothes are getting really loose YAY!

I am on soft foods also and I eat lots of white flaky fish, tuna that I make with greek yogurt mixed with a dry ranch dressing. Also make chicken salad and egg salad with the homemade ranch. Hard boiled eggs, lunch meat and Wendy's Chili!!
I still have a Protein Shake, greek yogurt, pudding, cream Soups and Popsicles too.

Dec 2nd here!

Hi
May I be added to the December thread,
Dec 17 Th
Thx

I just realized I hadn't recalculated my BMI. Went from 54.9 to now 49.6!!!! Out of the 50's!

Hello...sleeved December 18th 5'5 starting weight 260..down 25lbs I have the green light to start working out..no weights for another 3 weeks..I can wait to get to onederland

So today I am 4 weeks out. I am down 32 pounds however that also includes the 2 week preop. I am just a tiny bit disappointed but I know it will come off and 32 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. I've gone from a BMI of 52.2 to a BMI of 47.5 and have lost 19% of my weight. I was going to check my measurements but decided it would be easier to do it on the 13 of each month rather than every 4 weeks.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks for those that replayed on my post. I am feeling much better today. I haven't commented a lot in here. But here is my story.... At age of 34 I have had 2 heart attacks and I am diabetic. I have a little girl who is 4 and I decided that this surgery would help change my life. She is reason enough to take that step in the right direction. I was 274 pre op and I am now 243. I enjoy reading the post on here as it makes me feel not alone. I am doing ok on my Water amounts but struggling to get in my protien. I really need to find something that works for me. Thank you to everyone that post stuff on here. I am sure that I am not the only quite one out there that has felt much support from this group even without commenting.

I switched to a skinny cinnamon dolce steamer- like a cinnamon roll in a cup and totally on my nut's plan. Yum!

Hello All. Today was a pretty good day thus far. I slept well last night:) my doc wants me to drink a liter and a half of liq, which he says includes at least 1 1/2 Protein Shakes and broth. I can tolerate all temps, I drink Atkins choc, which I better tolerate than the boost vanilla they tried givn me, vanilla really upset my stomach. I can do the hello very well too. I feel like I'm drinkn all the time but its out of the 1 oz med cups they gave me. He wants me to get in at least 4 oz an hr. It's doable and somtms I've done more. He gave me liq colace which literally burned the heck out of my throat, any1 else exp that? I will NOT take it again, that was my only issue today, still Buns a little:( I'll start m.o.m. instead. No incision pains at all and Praise God no spasms unless I swallow too much at once. Well I pray that u all are feeling a day closer to gr8 and I'll b checkn in on you. Njoy ur day, and chat soon:))))

Your a tough cookie and you made it through all those days with nothing to drink. I'm proud of you. I think I might have cracked. Now to get use to your new tummy and start this new year right.
