I'm two-months out and just got the go ahead from my nutritionist to make my own green smoothies last week.
A green smoothie with Protein or hemp oil is good. -- I experienced some serious dumping when I tried an almond milk or Peanut Butter addition.

I didn't really experiment in the soft phase. I lived off of Greek yogurt, babybel light cheese, mashed Beans, Protein Shakes and yogurt.

Since @@BigTink2LilTink upped the ante for Beefcake in this thread, I had to rise to the challenge and take a new picture myself:

Yaaay! Good for you. I started off pretty similar, wanted to do lap band for a long time but when I met with my surgeon he thought the sleeve would be the best for me and I agree! I'll be 6 weeks out on Friday and I've never felt better.
@@marl1313 my surgery was good, how was yours?

I cosign everything @@feedyoureye said.
Get your Protein in, and everything else will follow. ????

Just wanted to share an update... Had my sleeve January 15th and now I'm officially 36lbs down!!! Yay!

Congratulations lady! You look amazing!

I have been dealing with this before surgery 5/2015 and since WLS it seems to have gotten worse. I was up at 11;56 last night - never went back to sleep.< /p>

I'm just about a year out and am going thru the same at the moment...
Unfortunately, I've no advice...
I just thought I'd let you know that you're certainly not alone...

I made this just for you. The left is me at 402 pounds, and the right is me at 277 pounds, taken 2 days ago.
I'd really like to see yours!

A couple recent pics. I don't consider them AFTER pics but simply DURING pics. I've got a long way to go to reach AFTER status. Having fun along the way getting there, though.
My BEFORE pics required wide lenses to shoot.
Tripping out at the Under Armour theme shirts now.
I'm wearing one of their snug fitting 3XL shirts on my way out to the gym:

Here's a funny "after" pic. This is after being conned into going out with some friends.......getting home way late.....or early the next morning, depending on how you look at it. Long night.......too old for those shenanigans....but had a blast.

The more you walk the easier the gas will get.
Glad your surgeries went well!

I was a vegan for about 2 years and vegetarian for a year after that, all leading up to my WLS. (Btw-- I am not a moral veg-eater. I used to eat meat, then got sick, and couldn't eat it anymore.)
In getting my sleeve done, my nutritionist and I devised a plan on how I'd be able to get my Protein in / keep the carbs low. I stuck vegetarian. I get my Protein from Protein shakes , meatless ground beef (I swear this actually tastes pretty good), Beans, eggs, cheese and Greek yogurt (which I had to build up a tolerance to). I'm getting about 70-80g of protein in daily right now. My nutritionist also has me taking B12 and Vitamin D every other day (so I'm not missing nutrients with my intake).
Oddly enough I was willing to attempt red meat / whatever to get my protein in, because I want to be very successful post-op, but when I tried it still made me really sick. ????

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out, and my nutritionist said the first few months normal intake will range from 500-800 calories. As long as you're following your doctor's guidelines, getting your Protein, seems like you're doing good to me!
