Yes, this is perfectly normal. You just had major surgery. There is nothing wrong with testing. Just focus on your Protein and fluids, and keep taking your vitamins as instructed. It gets better. Ok thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App *testing should be *resting...Lol... yes! I am learning to adjust and that it's ok to rest... thanks a bunch!

I literally just posted the same thing!! I'm pooped and it's only 2:30 in the afternoon where I live! Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I hope every surgeon has the goal of making sure you heal and don't have any complications post-op. A balanced diet is a great goal down the road, but right after surgery protein and fluids are critical --- even if it is hard, or you don't have an appetite, or don't like the taste, etc. One 11 oz protein shake spread out over three days and less than 8 oz of Fluid a day is not enough for anyone post-op. I can't imagine any surgeon advocating that diet as a good strategy for anyone. SMH But if I dare to try to drink 2 shakes, and enough protien to reach 70 or 80g I feel sick like I wana puke! I just can't do it... not right now at least. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I'm having a horrible craving for salsa and sour cream! What do I do? Eat tomato Soup and call it a day? I'm only 11 days post op, and I can only tolerate a few bites of anything, but is salsa a bad idea? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

@@LipstickLady my reply was for you. ..lol. it states... Thank you for that, I was beginning to get nervous! Lol. I am 11 days post op and I'm nowhere near 80g of Protein daily! I try really hard, but just cant... most of my choices are high protien and still can't seem to get there... but I will continue to strive! ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I agree/disagree. I am three years out and I still can't always meet my protein/water requirements. I couldn't even come close for the first year + and my surgeon only advised 64-80gr of protein. I did the best I could, healed like a champ and reached goal with a 110+ pound weight loss in 9 months. I do agree that you should do protein first and that protein is key in healing and loss, but I am not sure that you have to reach such high numbers to succeed/heal. Whew, thank u for this, I was beginning to get nervous! Lol... I'm like 11 days post op and I'm nowhere near 80g of protein daily... I mean I try, and all my choices seem to be protien! But still can't reach that goal! Lol.... so, I'm headed in the right direction! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Yea I just had a craving for salsa? Its not something I would normally "sit and think about" (i dont do that btw) Like pizza or a burger... lol (I know better) just a little salsa... however I haven't tried it yet, so we'll see how it goes? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Yesss! Yummy! Perfect... I'll try that! Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I started my soft diet 2 days ago. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

What phase are you on? At 7 days I was on full liquids. I didn't have salsa until I was on soft foods. Maybe try some V8 in the meantime. My Dr told me after my visit the other day that I can move to the soft diet if I could tolerate it... so far so good... however all I've had is scrambled eggs, and tuna... I've done well w both. But I was just kinda scared of salsa? Lol... maybe I will just drink a little v8 and maybe the craving will subside. ... thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Yes! So I'm 9 days post op and my Dr said I too can do soft solids, and I was afraid to do it? I really want too tho, but is too soon? But I did try a lil tuna today... it went well... but like I really want scrambled eggs. ... do u think its ok? Or should I still be doing liquid?
