Morning PP is Dr chris Andrews your surgeon? He was mine and he is very good. Maybe I,ll see you at one of our peer group meetings for Victoria General group. My surgery was May 31 and I am down to 218 lbs, I haven't been this light since the late 80's, I feel great and I am getting use to the fact that food tastes different to me and is not as dissireable as before.

I know exactly what your dealing with. PC protein shake made me sick like dumping syndrome. Use boost diabetic, is only one that didn't make me sick, good Luck young man best of luck

I love cottage cheese but for you add salt and pepper, yummy. Now for greek yogurt add jam and splenda this is tasty. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't over extend yourself, your going to have a lot less energy and the last week energy levels are really low. The good news is, it gets much better I,m at post week 3 out of surgery and have no pain and things are progressing well. Good luck and hang in there, thing's get much better.

Im better now had my pureed soup going to be careful now. Pretzels went on the borbidden list wont try them ever again. Well thanks for the support. Gas pain is a real mofo it really kets you know your not bullitt proof

I was doing great my pouch has been heeling at a very rapid rate. I had already been able to try some solid foods with no trouble, right up till i tried some pretzels. I just went through the most painful experience in a long time. I didn't vomit but god i wish i had to relieve the pressure. Do yourself a favour do not try pretzels very bad combo for pouch. Going back to fluids to give tummy a rest. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I finished at 20 lbs for two weeks, the surgeons were quite happy with how much my liver had shrunk. I'm 3 days post op and seem to be making a speedy recovery. Stick to the pre op shakes it will help with post surgery recovery. Good luck everyone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 1 day post op just got home from hospital A few hours ago. I was pain free when I left hospital and now I'm feeling some soarness in my tummy. I have a little bit of a headache. Here's the kicker, I was 249 lbs at surgery and I weighed myself as soon as I got home and I weighed 260 lbs What gives? Do I.v's put that much weight on me cause I have litterly been drinking little ounces of water and juice. My our issue is my flat bed can't find a good angle for sleeping without soarness, I guess I'll pop another T3

I just had to drink boost diabetic for 2 weeks 5 a day. Dropped a lot of weight in 2 weeks my surgery is in two days, glad I didn't have to take that stuff but my energy stores are low and any movement gets me tired. Man I'd sure love a big juicy cheese burger lol

Not sure what that is but hot sauce makes everything better ????

Don't do it! Too much sugar in that part of a chocolate horse Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Wow good for you pedro and thanks, i set 220 as my goal as this was my competition weight as an amatuer wrestler. But lower is good,as long as I remain healthy is fine. Had back surgery for two herniated discs anti inflammatories is how i cope with the pain and spasm flare ups. Worried about this as i am no longer going to be able to use them and the pain can literally floor me. Reading your response makes me hooeful this to (pain) will be a thing of the past. Thanks and i will keep you posted. The only drawback to the boost diabetic diet for shrinking my liver is i'm so hungery i could eat the fart from a dead chicken! [emoji12]

Question for anyone out there experienced with this. As canna butter uses butter as the base, will this cause dumping syndrome?

The same thing happened to me, got my surgery date and fear and apprehension kicked in but i think i have started to compartmentalize it and i'm feeling pretty calm now. Knowing that long term health wise I'm doing the right thing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Pedro, you and I sound like twins, I have yo yo'd for years too, my BMI is currently around 33 and my surgery is in 12 days. by then at the rate I am losing weight on this boost diet, I may be a 31-32, I to have diabetes, joint pain high blood pressure and the hope is this will stop all this, I'm not asking for a miracle but would like to be a grand father someday and not a grave stone that the grandkids are brought to. thanks for listening

what if you add a little hot sauce to it for some flavouring, I find Hot Sauce makes everything taste better.

I hope your right, I am ready to eat the fart from a chicken I'm so hungry. five shakes =950 Kcal day, what If I just had one extra shake?

Hi all, well I'm finishing up day 4 of my pre op boost diet and boy do the short ribs and perogies I made for my wife and daughter for supper, ever look good. I,m so hungry, I could eat a chickens fart. 4 days and I have lost another five lbs, total weight loss preparing for surgery is 55 lbs. what if I had one coffee tomorrow with 1 tblsp of coffee cream, those who have been where I am how did you cope?
