my routine has been shake (premier protein) in the morning, chicken/salmon/scallops for lunch (one of those), teriyaki turkey jerky snack, and then whatever protein I make for dinner. I don't eat any sides right now, as getting water and protein are most important. For treats I have fudgecicles or SF popcicles. May sound boring to some, but I am thrilled with the results!

Good luck Belle!!! Just remember after surgery you need to be patient with your body...I am 3 weeks out and I am still on very soft foods and sometimes my new stomach tells me its not ready to have it. It takes a long time to adjust. I am very glad I did it, but it has been difficult too....

I love your positivity! Know that I am here for you the first few days out of surgery!

@belle40 I had 2 weeks of pre op diet protein shakes and veggies and then one week post op...for 22 pound loss. This week, 2nd week post op, I am down 6 more pounds!

I just want to crunch into something...like an apple or granola...just to feel it in my teeth. not craving food at all.

congrats on the 10 loss!! whoot whoot

Im getting about 25g protein in...about half of what Im supposed to. I can eat a bit of yogurt, and love chicken broth (salty heaven!) but that has no protein! so this week I need to up the protein shakes. I also was told I can start exercising moderately. (not just walking)

went back to teaching today. I have all summer to try and train my bladder!

Thanks! How are you doing?
