Jf you mixed it with a lot of lean meat its fine as long as it doesnt upset your tummy.

But its still mostly empty calories/carbs.
I think something like this would be much better

(they sell this at BJ's wholesale)
Less than half the calories, and serves the same purpose

I am 3 weeks out and that isn't on my radar. I don't plan on too much bread in my future.

Omg my dream first or close to first meal is tuna/chicken salad with apple slices, Tomato and lettuce if allowed on low carb/whole wheat pita or Tortilla. I'm only 10 days out so it's very very far away [emoji24]

You got this

As I am almost to my surgery date 8-29-2017 my pre-op diet has been not as bad as I thought the first few days I was very weak, the feeling of crashing came on most often but , now as I beginning to pack my hospital bag and prepare my mind for this journey that both my mind and body are about to take, I am very nervous... I am not nervous that I can not change my eating habits, I am also not nervous for the pain, or the way my life is about to change very quickly in just the next few short days.... My nerves are coming from the sheer fact that for the first time in 32 years I have to take care of ME and that is a very VERY scary concept for me.. I take care of kids, my kids, our kids, their kids, my spouse our family's, my siblings, I take care of so many things and people in My life... that not taking care of me has been easy because I always had the excuse that I only had time to shovel junk in my mouth or I did not have time to work out or live a healthy lifestyle... the transition has been easy thus far but I no this will be a battle of me learning to do what I can do to care for myself... I wonder if I am the only one that feels like this, how will I make time, how will I learn to say no for myself... how can I be better for me with out feeling an over whelming guilt or feeling of selfishness??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thank you and Have a wonderful day

Increasing my calories help me as well

Don't worry guys, 3-6 week stall is a real thing and it seems to have happened to everyone I've talked to. What broke it for me was getting in more calories. Just a bit more, nothing crazy. It will pass!

Just bought a case of 12 for 10.00, opinions on if it's a good drink for post op or if it's a good deal? I'm having surgery in 10 days and I'm stocking up on Protein Drinks and everything I'll need for the next month nutrition wise

LOVE these, I eat them weekly. I usually get the whole grain ones but will sometimes just get the regular flour depending where I shop.
I make quesadillas, pizza, wraps, tortilla chips, tacos with them and they don't bother my sleeve at all.

ETA: I'm 8 months post op as well.

You probably want to make sure they're whole grain and have nutritious value. I'm only a week out (aug 23) but when I can eat it will be whole grain pita with tuna/chicken salad.

I'm 3 mos and tried a tortilla and after a few bites I was hurting. Just be careful.

That makes me feel better as I've only been losing roughly 5lbs a month. I was hoping for more so it's a bit frustrating, but on the plus side my losses have been consistent and I am very satisfied with my food plan right now. At this point, I'm just happy to see the scale moving in the right direction

I thought I'd never get to my goal weight, either. I was a slower loser. It took me nearly 18 months to lose 100 pounds. Most of my monthly losses were single digit (1 to 7 pounds a month).
I usually consume my meat with a non-starchy veggie such as green Beans, broccoli or Brussels sprouts. I usually have 4 to 6 ounces of meat with a cup of steamed veggies.
I also eat seafood such as tuna casserole, mackerel cakes, shrimp, salmon croquets, sardine fritters, catfish, trout, and blackened tilapia, but these do not challenge my sleeve enough to provide as much restriction as harder Proteins.

Yesss!! I'm in thank you for doing this once again

I was the same way at 2 weeks out. Hang in there. It gets better I promise. You'll have no regrets. It took me about 4 wks to start feeling better.

Current weight. 182.6

Goal weight 164.6

I am with you. I haven't regained, but I feel I am losing slowly. I was sleeved on 1/24/17, and I've lost 55 lbs. However, I feel I should be further along. I've picked up some bad habits, and I've plateaued. It was meant for me tho Llog back on today ti see your getting back to basics post. Excellent idea to do the liquid diet again. Good luck to you!
