I don't know who posted about this first, but I just want to say THANK YOU! to whoever mentioned drinking peppermint tea. It goes down so easily and really makes it easy for me to "up" my liquid intake each day. Plus...it's really yummy! So, thank you, whoever you are!

I use these premise as well - I love the strawberries n cream, pumpkin spice, vanilla, chocolate, and banana cream (which I had to buy online because GNC isn't currently carrying it in liquid form.
I bought Peanut Butter GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 Original at GNC this week and it is my primary Protein Shake now, but I make it into a smoothie. One scoop Protein, skim milk, some ice, and a splash of GNC Lean shake liquid chocolate, and 5 seconds on my Magic Bullet and I'm a HAPPY camper! So yummy, and not too sweet. I am now happy on my all-liquid diet!

Increasing your Protein won't magically make weight start falling away -- you need to keep an eye on your calories and carbs as well. Yes, you need to increase your protein, but that's because you need protein for healing and health right now.

I want to eat goldfish crackers. Is that weird, I am not going to but I find it weird to be thinking about it t

I definately spend way more time cooking, shopping and planning meals.
Before surgery I was always eating junk and fast food, now I am playful to make sure I have the proper groceries and I have had to learn to cook differently.
I live on Pinterest finding recipes that I can use as a base and then tweak it to make it Bariatric friendly.

I had no problem with 2 week pre-op diet. Now that I'm 11 days post-op I can hardly stand to think of any more shakes. I have 18 more days of liquid only and my taste has changed. Sweet drinks taste horrible to me, the Soups aren't very good either. Help, I am going back to work in 7 days and need to find something that doesn't turn my stomach.
Is it common for food to taste different following surgery?

My surgery was 5/16/16 and I'm just thrilled with my results so far! I still have a ways to go but I wanted to share these photos. My high weight was 252 and today I'm 181.4. The first picture was taken Easter Sunday 2016 at my highest weight.....and the other two were taken today!!

hello all! I just got sleeved on 8.29 (yay!) and I've been struggling with gas pain. Does anybody have any tricks or tips to help alleviate that pain?
