I was told to ONLY look at the fat (less than 5g), carbs (less than 10g) and Protein (at least 15g) for the liquid/foods I'm eating. What are some other things I should look for? I feel like I should look at more than just fat, carbs and protein. What about sugar, sodium and others? What kind of guidelines do you use? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was the 27th too. I'm also getting in like 80-100 calories per day. Everything were allowed to have are 0 cal! I'm having a premier shake, Crystal light lemon, and Water. I'm going to start the purées tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Me too! I have my shake and I make crystal light lemonade. I feel like I sip all day from my 40oz bottle and it doesn't go down! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What does your schedule of food stages look like after surgery? This is mine. While in hospital - Clear liquids 7-10 days - full liquid 2-4 weeks purée Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How are you feeling now?? I'm 4 days post op. I'm also in Illinois! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

can you have the mushy veggies and chicken already?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What is the best tasting pre made broth you've found? Also, any recipes for homemade? They had an AMAZING broth at the hospital and they said it's an institutional brand. I got the Rachael Ray one because I figured if anyone will have a yummy broth it'd be Rachael Ray but it tastes like it NEEDS to be used for cooking instead of for eating solo. I'm debating making chicken noodle soup and just eating the broth part. I'm 5 days post op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not what you're going to miss, I was hoping this thread would lean towards foods you CAN have, but don't like them anymore Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What do you all mix your Protein powder with? I'm slightly lactose intolerant so I mixed my Cookies and cream Quest powder with vanilla almond milk and it was pretty good, but very thick. Any ideas? What does it with Water taste like? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry remember why we did this! End result. End result! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What foods/flavors did you love pre-op that you hate now post-op? I now don't like Water... Like I feel like it all tastes nasty. Tried different brands to make sure it wasn't just bad water. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I has surgery on Monday, it's Wednesday at 2:30am and they came to take vitals so I'm awake. I also just got more pain meds. I unexpectedly needed a drain which will come out tomorrow. Does it hurt?? That's the biggest pain and anxiety at this point. When does the pain go away? I'm supposed to be going home today and I have no clue how that will happen at my current pain level and needing help to get in and out of bed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
