Yes! Brushing helps but tounge is still gross. I feel it needs to be scraped... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Anyone else get build up of tounge gunk from so many Protein shakes? If so what did you do? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Sounds like we had similar plans....I see the surgeons assistant Friday. Don't know if I'm gonna make it. I had a tiny amount of cheese today. Seems fine. I'm trying....it's so hard. Hungry and I hate shakes......although my HW was 338. Surgery weight was about 325. Current weight is about 310. Surgery was 5/24/16..... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm a week and day too. What eating stage are you at? How far post op did you start eating?

Why do a lot of people go to Mexico for their surgery? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Do you not eat them anymore? One of the things I'm looking forward to when I'm back on regular food Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

My wife is making burgers for her and my son right now....not helping at all. Lol Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I guess that makes sense. I did eat a tiny amount of cheese and chewed very well. Seemed fine Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

24th for me. Feeling hungry and hate the shakes...also having a lil depression which is very out of character for me. Have been tired too. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

My post op is 2 weeks liquid. shakes and Clear liquids...I am 1 week 1 day post op and can't take it anymore. Did anyone try soft foods early? Like really soft foods? Cottage cheese, or other soft cheese, scrambled eggs? I mean if I chew it to puree how is that different than a thick gross shake? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Atontor, amazing loss...do you have loose skin issues? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I didn't speak to anyone more than a few words at a time for nearly a week after surgery! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App That's what I'm like...dr. Said it would pass Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Can definitely see weight loss congrats. How is week 4? What foods are you on? I'm 1 week out still on shakes. It sucks. Seeing NUT tomorrow and dr. Friday. Hoping for soft foods then. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Wow. What a difference Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Holy shit. Amazing. Any loose skin issues? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the support everyone. I feel like I may snap out of it. Can't come soon enough. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yes I have one..your right I shouldn't even ask... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

How long after surgery until you got on soft foods? I'm 5 or 6 days post op and want soft foods bad. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone felt depressed aftwr surgery? I touched on this in another thread but would like to hear others with this issue and how you dealt. I haven't laughed since surgery on 5/24 the liquid diet is hard for me but I don't think that's my only problem...I'm just down and can't get out of my funk. My wife is pregnant and due soon I'm sure that's part of it feeling weak and useless with a baby on the way.....thoughts? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I've been crying too occasionally. Totally out of character for me. I think it's depression. Hope I snap out of it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm feeling the same. Also having some emotional problems. Feeling useless like I can't get anything done. Feeling bad for my 5 year old I can't do much with him cuz I'm healing..a lot going on at one time rhen dealing with the food issue...it's very tough and I don't think I was mentally prepared. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Since it's right after surgery I think 4 to 6 OZ of liquid is all I can handle. I'd prefer more milk but don't want to over due it Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I use about 4 to 6 OZ low far milk and a scoop (that comes in tub) of Protein. Should I change my ratio? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Also with the shakes, how can you make them not so frothy? I hate it. Don't mind thin. But the thick frothy is gross. Can't figure how to blend them without all the froth. Yuck Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Just tried beef broth with unflavored powder. Gross. The Protein powder ruined the broth Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I wasn't allowed fruit and peanut butter until later phases. You MAY be able to add some PB2 to your shakes though. What do your guidelines say? If in doubt, call your NUT for clarification.Thanks. NUT? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App NUT = nutritionist Does your surgeon provide access to nutrition training and counseling? Aren't you working with a nutritionist/registered dietitian? Had surgery Tuesday don't see nut until next Thursday I think....called dr. Haven't heard back Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Seriously can't wait for soft foods. Time is dragging Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
