Well the rest of the week went better since I could get some whey Protein shakes in and Im drinking ensure and creamy soups. Today Im two weeks post-op and have lost 20 pounds!! Next week will be easier. I actually chose to go back at a week - just didnt want to use up all of my sick leave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my first couple of days back to work were rough and I tired very easily. Of course I was still on clear liquid. Tomorrow I will move to phase two and am hoping I wont be as tired at work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So after a week out of work and the fact that I have a desk job Im hoping to go back to work next week. I want to be prepared for my week and since I will be able to start having runny veg Soups and Protein shakes etc this is what I have done: I boiled different veggies and pureed them and portioned them off and froze them. I intend to take one with me to work everyday and just heat some Water with maggi and dissolve the veg puree in it to make a Soup. I bought the Naturals whey Protein powder from Dr Nutrition. So I got the vanilla and chocolate so I could have two scoops. I put half of both powders in sandwich bags and one scoop plus a litre of nonfat milk, small bottle of manuka honey. I will also bring some fruits and veggies for the shakes to try diff. Mixtures. I will buy a small toy blender I saw at the toy store that runs on batteries to take to work with me so I can blend my shakes. Thats all I have thought of so far. Any help is appreciated.

It could be from all the fluids they pumped in as well as the gas. I would do some walking. I would think it would come off rather quickly. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow!! You look amazing. Keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks I will look up the Isopure now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk But so is it still a powder? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasnt told that I need Protein for the first ten days so I will call in to my surgeon in the morning and see if thats okay. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I have lost ten pounds and this is day six after being sleeved. That is exciting. I can do this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its not listed as something that I can have plus I read its so easy to get dehydrated if you drink coffee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk But I loooooove coffee and miss it soooo! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Im supposed be ten days clear liquids including fat free milk - so no shakes till after the ten days are up and no yogurt either. I have had clear chicken broth but not too satisfied. I dont know if Im allowed decaf coffee or tea. I will check on that. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im on day five and by far my hardest day as far as incision pain. It feels like a pulled muscle. I hope you start feeling better soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh man, more to look forward to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I want to be a runner. Im already walking as much as I can. Can't wait to try to run as I get lighter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aaah thanks you are right that was on the list - I should get some. I guess also today I cooked my favorite food for the kids which they love and I suffered watching them eat it. I know why I did this and I know I can do it I guess though it gets hard sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
