The taste after surgery I just can't do. Something about artificial sweeteners now I get grossed out by. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I started getting the large cups from sonic of ice water. They are 30 ounces. That ice they have really helps me. I know I don't get enough protein, at least that they say you should get, but I seriously don't think I'll ever drink another protein shake. Gross. Can't stand the after surgery.

I had gastric bypass on 4/20! I'm down 33 pounds but most of that was within the first 2 weeks. This last 10 days I've been stalled! I hate it! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

One of my favorite things I've had so far: A grill pack made if squash, zucchini, and onion. Grilled in foil until soft. SO GOOD! -Tilapia.. skillet cooked in cooking wine with blackening seasoning. -Sloppy Joe with ground turkey or high grade ground beef. -baked potato with shredded chicken breast.. shredded low fat cheese. -Baked sweet potato -Egg white omelette with mushrooms, onion, ham, and cheese. -beef sticks or Jerky. -Tuna salad -Salmon patties ....just some of the things I've made and handled well. ....oh... and sugar free vanilla pudding with bananas .. top with no sugar added cool whip!

Try vanilla whey Protein from Walmart. With ice a coffee added. It makes like an iced Cappuccino. That's what saved me. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Ice and* coffee Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Don't let the few negatives outweigh the lifetime of positives it will give you. Yes, there are hard times involved... but they go away. Then we all have a new body and life and spirit to obtain. Best of luck. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

WHAT!?!?!? No way.. I'm sorry.. I couldn't have done it. That is an insane amount of time for that. I had to do it 24 hours! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

That would be awful. I'm at day 26. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Day 4.. I was a wreck. Could hardly drink, everything wore me out... I'd cry if someone asked how I was... I didn't even speak to my family, just silence. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I thought people were "just saying that" to make me feel better, when they would say "hang in there it gets better." No, seriously, it does. I went from what the hell...did I just do... to around day 12.. feeling noticeably better. 15, felt great. Still feeling great. I notice at work I start feeling tired around 5 pm. Other than that.. and being on about 10 days of stall... things are good. So, really, hang in there... it honestly does get better. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Do you have a before picture? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

My 11 year old was all a out it. He feels bad for me because I sit at the table eating a half a cup of food. He knows it is to help me. He was scared for me to have operation but he has a sense of pride in saying g "you're getting smaller, mom." Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Gosh, I'm 15 days post-op and have been stuck at 24 pounds for about 4 days. I know they say not to weigh often but that's so hard! How do you get past this? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Just when I finally saw the scale move... bam.. the next morning it said two more pounds. Ugh Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Come to think of it.. my nut never told us a calorie content, just Protein. I've struggled severely with Protein drinks. I just can't seem to get them down. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I couldn't handle the broths, and unjury Soups... I got to where the thought of them made me want to hurl. Once I finally tried Greek yogurt, even though it was early... it was so tastefully satisfying that I got over the complete he'll I was going through.

It's supposed to be 80. I feel like I'm eating too much as it is. I'm scared to eat more to get the Protein in. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Do you have a picture of you before weightloss? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I went through the the same thing. I had mine done on April 20th. I ended up to the point that a shower was enough to make me want to pass out. I got some pedialite, that helped. I also would get crushed ice. Like from sonic or wherever you have local. That helped me more than anything. At about 5 or 7 days I had Greek yogurt.. I watered it down with almond milk. That was a HUGE boost. Mentally and physically. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Probably 50g is a safe number to say without over shooting. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
