Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?
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.

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!

How the hell do I get through this?
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

4 Days Post-Op Blues
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

4 Days Post-Op Blues
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

4 Days Post-Op Blues
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

4 Days Post-Op Blues
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
