Go get Nectar chocolate truffle and and a product called PB2. One scoop of nectar and two tablespoons of pb2 powder in a shaker bottle. Tastes like a liquid Reese peanut butter cup a little thicker and no "protein shake after taste" whatsoevr

New Guy - Surgery Nov. 17
I am a week ahead of ya all. Big dude I share many of your sentiments. I lost quite a bit (before surgery, very strict diet) and started participating in triathlons. Then had a set back with an injury and an automotive accident and rapidly put the weight back on. However, I truly understand your thoughts. Just a little funny something to make ya laugh for today.... My Triathlon Strategy Don't Drown Don't Crash Don't Quit

Al Roker/Nate Newton Nightmare
Woke up this morning in a state of panic that I had lost a TON of weight and I looked like a dang bobblehead doll like Al Roker and Nate Newton. At least I woke up laughing

A little scared this has been pretty easy for me.
I have hada a really easy time and feel the same way. I am 6 days post op. I haven't had much pain, nausea, or anything and added milk based cheese Soup with no chunks tonight and for first night I feel like I had "reel" food. Outside Protein shakes (thank the Lord!) Protein shakes were getting very old!!!! Just trying to figure out the next thing to add into the mix

Corn anyone?
Is it the digestion of the corn itself or chemical make up. Reason I ask is I found some Campbells corn Soup that is pure liquid. I was thinking about adding it to my diet next week.

Would a ring size change after surgery?
I am 6 days post and my class ring is almost free to the point I might be able to flick it off if tried real hard!

New tasties!
I was contemplating how that might work in a Protein shake! That might really add another layer of flavor into a bland Protein shake

5 days post op. Want real food!
Ready2b I would kill for a scrambled egg and retried Beans. As a matter of fact I am almost 100% certain I have never craved retried beans until today. Haha I really have not been nauseas, in pain, or feel like things have been restrictive other than picking up heavier objects. Had to have my mom and wife unload to five gallon buckets today. I am taking next week off of work and plan on working on a car I am restoring. No heavy lifting just light wrenching My follow up is Wednesday and I am going to try and push things just a little after the doc gives me the thumbs up
