APURNELL

hey kinda late..but my surgery was aug 4th. sooooo excited. I'm already seeing changes. the only thing that is a bit frustrating are these Protein shakes and/or liquid only.. how long has your doctor recommended you be on stage 1 diet?

LOL. LOVE THIS POST. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. TODAY IS EXACTLY ONE WEEK POST OP AND IVE ALREADY SUCKED AND MASHED UP SOME FRENCH FRIES AND CHEWED ON MY MOMS BBQ WING AND SPIT IT OUT. (CONFESSION OF THE DAY) UGHH IM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF.HONESTLY ITS THIS LIQUID/PROTEIN SHAKE ONLY DIET..I CANT STAND IT!! LOL WELP TOMORROW I MEET WITH MY DR, HOPEFULLY I CAN START PUREED SOONER THAN I THINK. ALREADY MADE A MENTAL MENU OF THINGS: MASHED POTATOES(w/ i can't believe its not butter,skim milk, bit of salt and pepper), FARINA(w/skim milk,some splenda and a pinch of cinnamon) SOOOO READY!!! thanks for letting me vent. good luck to ya'll

lol yes, im so looking forward to that!

aww thanks so much. congrats to you!!!! One day at a time is right. God has brought me this far.,,i guess i just need a healthy balance..and stop over analyzing and over whelming myself. good luck.

oh i see..but thats the thing. my doctor calls it stage 1 clear liquid diet,but i need to have my protein supplement as well. my follow up appt is this upcoming thursday, so i'll ask in detail then. its just difficult trying to cram all that protein in along with my regular liquids.i dont want to stuff myself

hey everyone,hope all is well. I'll make it quick. I had my sleeve done this past monday the 4th, and although i know i am required to stick to this post clear liquid diet, it has been quite hard so far. although this was my first full day home,and i shouldnt be too hard on myself, i cant help but think im not intaking enough protein..honestly i'm stuffed!!! ANY IDEAS?
