I am 7 weeks post op and down 34 pounds ( but that also included the 9 pounds I lost on opti fast pre op) I started at 20/22 size and now I have bought some shirts that are 14! I feel amazing and best decision I ever made - only regret, not doing it sooner ! My fav protein is Premier - best bang for your buck I also love Quest and GNC has Lean 25. I also take the vanilla shakes and add Maxwell House iced coffe )like those crystal light liquid ) to that in morning ! Yummy I just got a Ninja blender with the cup and make some great shakes. Also fav find is PB2 - yummy and unflavored (injury brand) protein powder Best wishes!

Love Quest Bars My favs are Coconut cashew, apple pie, cinnamon bun - plus they have great protein powder for shakes - peanut butter is great and they also have Protien baking mix powder GNC sells it

Full liquids you can do cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup strained - trader joes (sorry I know there isn't one down there) has some yummy broths and soups

Oh yeah - I did that too- guess i had never heard it called that ????

What is the "liver reduction" part ? I have never heard of this ....

I have a Fitbit so I have been trying to work up to 10,000 steps (I'm 3 weeks post ) I'm averaging @7000-8500 so not there yet !

Hi NewMe- I'm feeling pretty good! Glad that I am past the liquid stages and am on puréed / but I am not doing baby food - still lots of protein shakes and i do refried beans w a little cheese and taco sauce. Went back to work today
