I eat my small "breakfast" then a little over 1 I drink my Protein shake on way to work. lunch. Then couple hours later protein shake or protein broth. dinner Water water and chamomile tea at night.

Alternatives are great because even in maitenance my nut is anti white flour I will look for Bobs, the label you pasted has 30g carbs but only 6 are accounted for, what is the rest?

I agree honey is an option, in moderation. I am not a big sweet drink person so I add True Lime to my Protein Water and iced herbal tea. There are some Protein shakes with stevia so that might be something that you like better. Any of the unflavored Proteins could be sweetened with stevia, honey or agave. For additional flavor the fancy vanilla brand (smith and something) makes a vanilla powder (no sugar added), sold in spice aisle where available.

You can always talk with your nut. I know soft food is limited but it is still way more normal than liquid! I too will be headed to vacation on cusp of my scheduled change to "full" food stage, she told me to just discuss timing and I made my six week post op appointment now with that timing in mind.

Nova here had mine at Fair Oaks

Heating pad was an essential for me for comfort and sleep since surgery. No real pain now, just makes me feel better and less itchy! And helps with gas pain!

I had my egg one day early. Off "plan" yes but I don't think my nut would have disagreed if asked. But it is Sunday so not calling for permission. Like @@LipstickLady said it is our body. I don't like "cheat" either -- especially a it relates to a healthy food item and amount -- I didn't have egg on top of my soft food and I didn't eat more than was comfortable, my husband ate a third of it and I will still have my Protein shakes later today. But I do think cheat is a word that I will personally apply to me if I eat something overprocessed, fatty, or high in empty sugars. To me, the sleeve is not about what can fit, but what should fit. Cheating for me, will be cheating myself, my body, and my hair (!) of needed nutrition in limited real estate. So no having cake and eating it too!

So do we count like in soccer? If I am past 14 days I am "in" week 3 or is the stalk between 21-28 days . Just wondering because I just broke 5 day stall on day 19. Sure there will be more stalls. Thanks for everyone's comments it is so good to read from those in same boat!!!

The yogurt cups have 15g total. @@heart4god22 where do you live and what store did you buy at? The drinkable aren't even on oikos website

I like unjury chicken broth. Also like Campbell's beef consume with unflavored Isopure Protein. I also made some "broth" with these knorrs concentrated flavor enhancers and added protein. Whole foods sells some good bone broths as well.

Thank you for sharing. I too have been eating that yogurt due to high protein and low sugar. I will have to look for those!!

I don't think I get raw veggies until 8 weeks.

I echo surfer girl's advice. Relationships ending can take you for a loop and I know the feeling of wanting to make a last show or outreach in hopes that the pattern of lackluster response is broken. But he has shown you how important you and your feelings are to him, you can show him how important you are to YOU. By moving on to better things and people. They are out there!

I love my dog so much, my heart hurts for you and your pal. Please take solace in fact that you are looking out for her and trying to comfort her in time of need to make best decision. She has had a good life and one that long (though not long enough right) means she lived well.

I have almost every item shared so far! Especially daughter graduation in June. I would add not feeling like a freak or slug when in a group of people talking about physical activities and exercise. Going to plays at theatre and not being worried about fitting into seats, come on Broadway!

Good luck!

I never would have thought I like cottage cheese so much!

I don't think you can accurately predict if and when this would strike you. And I know academic programs can be rigorous and even if you can be away it will delay and cause implications. You should search the forum for how long a gall bladder issue would put you out. The weight loss is bound to be a positive. And your program, if in US, is required to accommodate your health issues.

16 oz. this was an interesting run down of protein sources. http://www.bodybuilding.com/content/ultimate-list-40-high-protein-foods.html

I can have cottage cheese but no eggs until next phase. It starts Monday. I am dreaming of all of the different ways I will have eggs for breakfast.

One of mine did as well. I used some of my leftover hibiclens when showered and neosporin. Just watch it and they will check your incisions at your check up. Call if you are concerned.

My nut does not allow protein bars for months. You should ask your team. I am about same time as you, I am a big proponent of unflavored protein powder in broth or water. I had to take some day off of shakes after surgery.

I put a little cortisone around (not on!) incision and then neosporin in incision. Itching means healing but a person can only take so much! My middle and left, which nurse tells me get the most manipulation during surgery itched the most.

I didn't like that Bariatric Advantage is only in the enormous bags. I had been ok with that brand though. But their "unflavored" is sweetened and that makes it useless. I was fortunate that my doc gave me loads of flavors to try. But is still have a lot of it that I will have to go through. I highly recommend the unjury starter kit. It is a good package and includes the basic flavors so you can find out what you like. I do like isopure unflavored and it is 25g per serving which is more than unjury 21. It is available on Amazon for a good price as well. I am trying to force myself to work my way through all the BA mixes I bought before getting any sweet flavors from unjury. I did just order more chicken broth unjury. Good luck and let me know if you like them I will try the strawberry tomorrow and report back!

4-6 weeks depending on Incisions I would not feel safe with one week old incisions in pool.
