What do you eat on the 3rd week after surgery ?
I'm still on full liquids. Cottage cheese, cream soups, applesauce, I am so tired of it all. I hate yogurt and Protein shakes so I don't do them.

9 weeks post-op and I dislike eating
How many calories should I be eating right now? I'm 2 weeks out and haven't been above 400 calories a day! I'm at around 50ish grams of protein a day. I was never told to watch calories. Thanks

Getting rid of clothes?
I'm working on deep cleaning my bedroom and am wondering when to get rid of clothes? Like my summer clothing, I won't wear any of it for at least 6 months, I live in Ohio and it will be cold until April. Will I really be that much smaller by then? I'm a size 20/22 right now. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and am down 20ish pounds. It is all so abstract to me right now, I can't imagine actually being thin. What did you do?

Anyone feel like me?
I am 2 weeks out and am also just kind of sad. I want chicken breast and broccoli, not even crap food, I'm just tired of Soup. I'm so sick of cottage cheese I could barf. I'm so tired of soup I could cry. Popsicles make my teeth hurt. When I'm on purées I know I'll feel better, right now it just really sucks.

Vitamin Patches.
I ordered mine off of EBay and they were way cheaper. I do b-12, calcium and multi.
-
Spicing up broth.
I do chicken broth with taco seasoning. It makes it a bit like white chicken chili.

Clothes
I am in the middle of a room reno and I keep looking at all my summer stuff. Will I really be that much smaller by then?

Y'all see why I am struggling. I am so sick of cottage cheese, I just don't want to eat it. I had cream of potato Soup today with Protein powder and it was ok. I need some variety.

Full liquid diet ideas?
I am on full liquids, my problem is I dislike anything milky so I can't do Protein shakes or yogurt without vomiting. Looking for new ideas or suggestions I may not have thought of. I'm allowed cottage cheese, pudding, applesauce and cream of Soups. These were the nutritionist suggestions. Thanks!

Update on OCt sleevers.....
I have been swallowing pills since day 2, nothing bigger than a plain M&M. They go down fine. I am using Vitamin Patches and I hope they are working! What are you guys eating if you are on full clears? I am dying for a change.

Update on OCt sleevers.....
I was sleeved on 10/27, I still hurt but am ok. I have to set timers all day to know what I need to be doing. ex... 8-8:30am drink/eat nothing 8:30-9am eat 9-9:30am drink/eat nothing 9:30-10:30 drink I repeat that all day long to get in my 6 meals. I am down 22 pounds in 11 days and am happy with that. I am so nervous it won't work or I will do something wrong and mess it up.

Do you miss food?
Right now, yes I do. I am 11 days out and living off of liquids. I hate dairy and thick stuff so I can't even stomach Protein shakes. I want healthy stuff, meats, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. No crap, just actual food!
