Congrats !!!! That's amazing !!!! It's totally fine . I work with a bariatric surgeon and by 6 months you should have lost 50-60 ish pound your doing fine

That's normal! It stinks but it's normal! Your body is playing catch up, did you take measurement? If not do that. A lot of times the measurement will go down even if the scale isn't! Don't be Discouraged it happens to everyone!

You can dilute it with milk or Water. Then just blend and strain it so there are no chunks. I diluted, strained and added unflavored Protein Powder to cream of everything....asparagus, chicken, shrimp, mushroom, celery, potato, spinach, potato leek Soup, butternut squash soup, Tomato Soup, lobster bisque, etc. Did the same with strained wonton, hot and sour, tortilla and French onion Soups. I never got bored with my options in my liquid food stage.

I was encouraged to have drinkable yogurt starting day 4 to help replace normal flora. Nut didn't care if it was FF, you can't possibly take in enough calories at this point for that to matter. But not all yogurts are the same...read ingredients. Siggy's was the best option I found, with Kefir coming in second. The rest were way too sweet for me and more geared towards making parents "think" they are giving their kids a healthy snack when it's actually loaded with sugar.
As for the frozen Protein drink idea, that's all I ever did. Never once had a store-bought SF Popsicle. And I make Protein "ice cream" all the time with Protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt and Torani syrups. Just finished a batch of banana with chopped peanuts and started a batch of red velvet cake with Carmel Syrup and chopped walnuts. I think I'll do mint chocolate next.

Did you get materials to reference from your NUT? Every program is different it seems, but my guess would be yes, but you'd be better off to freeze some of your Protein Shakes. Would be much better for you.

I had it done this morning. Everything was cleared for surgery!

And do they put the tube in after you get into the OR? Sorry for so many questions. I'm already an over analyzer, have anxiety and now I'm just scared lol!

Ok when you go in the OR you will have probably already been given a little versed. It helps you relax. You will move onto the OR table and they will put monitors on you. They will give you oxygen through a mask. Then they will put propofol into your iv you will be sleep in a matter of seconds. After you are sleep they will put an ET tube into your throat. You will barely remember going in the room. Thats the way the meds work. Good luck

I've not had my WLS yet, but I have had more than my share of surgeries, and you are not awake when they insert the tube down your throat. That would be aweful! Just relax, and enjoy the nap.
