I have lost 55lbs. I feel great. Today is my birthday and we're going out to dinner tonight. I was thinking of having grilled salmon with garlic mashed potatoes. I don't want a vegetable because they don't fully cook them. Does this sound good for 2 months post-op?

Thank you cupcake and joy59. My dinner was delicious! I had the salmon cut the size of a deck of cards and about a 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and I was full.

Thank you esskay77!

Thank you Nairobi

An you stretch your pouch by drinking a lot of cold water? I'm constantly sipping a lot of water all day. I remember One day I sipped water when I was full because my mouth is always dry.

I Bought all my vitamins from Bariatric Advantage. I got the Calcium citrate chewy bite I'm suppose to take 3times a day...I can't even take 1,they make me nauseous. My protein shake don't taste good I've tried a few Different ones. My multivitamin is not to bad of a taste. Now even water taste bad. Such I get over the counter Vitamins? Maybe they will taste better? Today I'm 3weeks out and next week I can start soft foods I'm hoping They taste better. Is anyone else having this problem?

Today I was able to have soft foods and I was so happy to eat instead drinking constantly. Protein drinks Still does not taste good at all. I always put milk in the shake tomorrow I will try it with water. I finally Found something other than water I like...Isopure drinks they come in a glass bottle. They come in Delicious flavors.

You look awesome!

Update: I'm not having any protein drinks because they all taste horrible. Does any one know if there is a calcium citrate gum mike vitamin? I can't take my calcium chewable bite ...yucky. I barely take my multivitamin and I love my probiotic vitamin. I'm only drinking water and juicy juice and I'm not hungry. I will call my doctor tomorrow

Pik I feel the same way.

Ginger snap that's great on your weight loss.

GB on 7-30 16lbs feeling so much bettet

Im 7 days out I had GB. And right now I'm on liquids and ice pops and clear broth. I have to dissolve my B12and multivitamin in some broth yuck it taste horrible....I tried using Gatorade yucky!

Arnold, MD - My GBP surgery was Wednesday 7/30 The surgery was 4 hrs and my recovery was 2 1/2 hrs. I do not remember being wheeled to surgery and I have no memory of recovery at all. I just remember sitting up in bed in my room. I had no pain just feeling sore and bruised my pain meds work great. I came home Friday I feel very tired. I have been walking around the house to relieve the gas. Tomorrow I will take a walk in the morning. I have my first post-op appt Wednesday 8/7 my dr is wonderful and so was the hospital. I would highly recommend him. So far this journey has been great. I love reading all the forums and learning new things on this site.
