I really want some caffeined coffee...just one cup in the mornings while getting ready for work..I was sleeved Dec 21st Anyone know if we are allowed to drink coffee and at what stage... My next doctor appt is coming up but just wanted to know what y'all think...

I don't usually it the required amount in but found drinking protein water was killing two birds with one stone...I also got an infused water bottle from my hospital and I like putting lemons or some type of fruit in it to give the water some flavor...

Is the way of life forever? Will I ever be able to go out to eat with my family...2oz at a setting sucks! I know I'll be happy when I'm a size 6 and not a 16 but I'm guessing this way of eating is my new life..

These are all great answers...I'll be doing the same thing...booking my trip to the beach for July 2017 where I'll be wearing a bikini bc it's the first year in 15 years that I won't be going FAT...yeah to us for the best health choice...even though I will miss eating steak and potato dinners with my husband at our favorite restaurant...lol

Every year I host a NYE party at my house with friends and family, since I'm 9 days out from my gastic sleeve, I'm just not into it this year, can't drink drink or even really eat...feeling blah...

I said the same thing "what have I done" but yesterday was day seven post-op and I feel great...hope things get better

You're welcome, I'm here if you have any other questions...I'm not perfect at this but I can tell you how I survived...

Wow, 4 weeks...I thought my two weeks was bad...good luck...I lost 10 lbs in those 2 weeks to which I was so happy...

Oh you're so lucky...my Dr. has me on month of puree, then one month of soft food and then I'll feel like I've been freed from diet jail...lol..not meaning I'm just gonna eat whatever but at least I've been trained to all the sugarfree and no fat stuff...just mean I won't have to put do much thought into every single thing I eat...my hospital gave me two stainless steel 2ounce cups that have been a life saver..I've felt full on that when I do eat...good luck to us...I know I must remember to keep my eye on the prize which is my goal weight...lolDid the 2oz cups help? Is that about how much you're able to eat? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Yes, that's all I can eat at one setting...I'm not over full or hungry...it's hard to wait the 30 minutes to drink and most of the time I don't but I also found some protein water that's pretty good...I drink the carnation sugar free chocolate powder with fat free milk and it really taste like chocolate milk...lolThanks! I'm trying to find things that will make my life easier after surgery. I have small rocks outside of my house and I'm looking for backless sneakers cause I'm sure I won't be able to tie my shoes right after and I won't be able to walk the rocks in my slippers. I've also been told to get myself a heating pad and a riser for my toilet. Any other suggestions? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App My dr. told me no heating pad bc the heat on the fresh incisions could cause them to become infected...so I used gel ice packs for the first three days almost all day while awake...it helped so much..it seemed anything I ate or drank at that time caused my stomach to hurt...I'm 7 days out as of today and I haven't felt better, hurts to bend over, so I bend my knees to pick up stuff...I drove for the first time in a week, went shopping for four hours...made sure to take a Protein shake and water...I was definitely pooped and ready to chill...

One is put in a blender and one isn't.. some things I just can't but into a blender and eat, it looks gross.. but some things could be fit both stages like mashed potatoes and stuff like that...

I'm totally hating this puree stage of this diet...I can't even fathom most foods being pureed and appealing...I did make pinto beans and made refried beans...that's about the only thing besides my shakes that I find I can bare...I need more protein and the shakes are so old...I'm only one week post-op and still have three weeks on this crazy diet....[emoji13]

I'm one week post op and I quick taking mine on day five

When you eat the egg salad and such do you eat that alone meaning not with bread or anything...I'm also 6 days post op and so afraid to eat anything...today I branched out and ate cottage cheese and pears all pureed...I know the fruit was probably pure sugar but I ate only 2oz...I'm thinking of making broccoli and cheese but not sure how that will fly once pureed, maybe to gross looking to eat...thanks for your post
