Are you having bypass? Probably recommend that since you get sick eating sugar.

Oops. I hate auto correct. My NUT not my but. I hope everyone got a good laugh out of that one.

My but and nurse told me that fluid is the main goal for the first 2 weeks. Its ok not to meet your protein goal in that time. I would not jump the diet though. Your tummy is still healing and super swolen. I was on liquids for 2 weeks. I was aloud to have soups thinned out. I bought Unjury protein chicken soup and protidiet soups. I did 2 shakes a day and soup.

I slept in a recliner for 5 weeks post op. I did the same when I had a hysterectomy 6vweeks prior to vsg. It was so much easier

The main goal is to get fluids down so if ice chips work go for it.

Before surgery I took ibuprofen alot! Obviously I quit about 3 months before surgery. Tylenol before surgery did not cut it for me but surprisingly enough it works great on me now

Inner surfer girl, thanks for the suggestion on pickles. I crave crunchy and salty. This sounds great

I could give up sweets but salty is what I crave. I would be scared to eat those because I may like them too much and binge.

Syntrax nectar fuzzy navel was the only shake I could tolerate mixed with water. It was and still is a life saver. The only other one I like is my click coffee protein mixed with milk. I have also mixed half milk and half water and it's still good. I like it because it's not too sweet

Marcemonstor, it seems like you and I are always stalled at the same time. Lol. Keep your head up. We will get through it!

Rogofulm, I am going to laminate this and keep this. I am going into my 8th week on Monday so all the advice is awesome

That is awesome. That is my ultimate goal.

I ate alot of greek yogurt and protein soups

My plan afterc8cweeks allows wheatctoast and wheat bread products like tortillas. In moderation. I think that's healthy. Protein should be the main food but you need carbs especially if you work out. Right now I only eat 50 to 70 grams of carbs per day and don't eat bread but eventually I don't think a little wheat toast will kill you. I am not fat because I ate wheat bread and quinoa. I am fat because ate white flour and sugar.

Omg. Back when I had no idea, I ordered a salad at chili's and it was 1100 calories. I should have ordered a burger with fries and saved some calories. Lol

Today...breakfast was a click protein shake with milk. Lunch was an in and out cheeseburger protein style wrapped in lettuce. Dinner was a strong cheese and boiled egg

I am in a rut too. Lol. I love my click coffee protein shake with milk every morning. I eat string cheese, boiled eggs, tuna salad and my favorite....boca veggie chicken patty with a slice of cheese on top. Those are my favorite go to foods. Today though...I had a in and out cheeseburger protein style wrapped in lettuce and it was so good. Obviously I would never do this on a regular basis but I needed a change. I also found a good meat at Applebee. They have a grilled lemon chicken with quinoa. Its under 540 calories. I just ate the chicken though so it was less. Its nice every once in a while to do something different

I am 7 weeks out and I eat around 800 calories a day. I have 16 ounces of milk with 2 scoops of protein shake in the morning. I will have a strong cheese or boiled egg for snack. Lunch is usually deli meat or chicken. Dinner I have tuna salad or a boca chicken party with 1 slice of cheese on top. Of I am hungry later I have cherries or another seasonal fruit

I like yoplait 100 calorie greek yogurts

I am looking forward to activities!! Swimming and wearing a bathing suit. Shopping in any store I choose.

If your Dr recommends bypass I would go for that. I know that some get a recommendation for one surgery over the other for health and safety reasons. I know for me the sleeve wasn't originally on the table until they saw that I had a hiatal hernia. Knowing that they could fix that I was cleared for sleeve. I chose sleeve due to vitamin deficiency issues. I also wanted the freedom to live my life without fear of having to cut out sugar entirely. I also wanted to be able to take Excedrin down the road.

Considering what you have been through of think you are doing great. Just try to do something for yourself each week that doesn't include food. I have a pretty stressful hub so I get a massage once a week.

I took the entire 8 weeks off. My surgeon recommended at least 4 to 6 weeks. So many things happen and some people get nauseous, can't keep water down etc.

I have a friend that uses them and loves it

I am the opposite the only vitamin I can tolerate well is my caramel chewy from bariatric advantage. The one that makes me sick is my chewy chocolate raspberry one. I have tried the lemon line and it's pretty good
