All liquids count. Not just Water and Protein. So I imagine you're doing good. When can you have sf pudding? I bought French vanilla protein in Trader Joe's.I'm a recovering late night bowl of ice cream person. But now I take the pudding. Put it in a nice bowl. Mix in a scoop...20 grams!...of protein and enjoy! I don't eat/drink anything out of a plastic container! Time to use my better dishes and glasses and pretend it's all gourmet! LOL

Hi I didn't like Premier Protein at all . So I went to GNC and checked out there Lean Protein Shake . It's within the guidelines for gastric sleeve surgery. Here a pic . I mix with unsweetened Blue Diamond almond milk , and sometimes add PB2 powders Peanut Butter . And blend up .. A -MAZING
Check it out . I bought the powder and ready mixed . They have a great sale now ,, I'm on day 4 ..

Ok, no problem

Congratulations! I was sleeved July 12. Three weeks today. I've done really well. Controlling my head more than anything. Miss a cup of tea with a cookie. Rye toast with eggs. But I coach myself through those moments. I got through a lot of the liquids requirements with the broth from the wonton Soup atTokyo Mandarin! So good! Take care of yourself. I found I ran out of energy for longer than I expected. Keep in touch.

I love having extra in the refig for when i need to eat. 30 seconds in microwave to take the chill off and its ready!

Next I'm going to do bbq turkey meatballs. Any suggestions on how to cut down on the sugar in BBQ Sauce?

I just did this. I put boneless chicken in with a mix of spagetti sauce, diced tomatoes, a few spices and shortened the cooking time to keep it from being too dry. Served my daughter's with angel hair. And i broke off a small piece of chicken for me. It was great.

I'm heading out to grocery today and I'll look or give this a try. Great site though! I'm so sick of sf popsicles with their ton of artificial coloring and there's a recipe for sf lemonade blueberry popsicles on this site that I'm going to try!

I had a "moment or two" before surgery where I wondered to myself "Are you absolutely crazy?" But I didn't dwell on it for long. I knew I had read all I could. Had great confidence in my doctor, his team, and my hospital. I'm one week post surgery. Lost 20 lbs. No pain meds because I didn't need them. Who knew I would be looking forward to puréed foods?! Feel myself; not some altered version. Think about the positives that got you here and where you're headed. Trust your team. Trust yourself. Good luck!

Hi Pam,
Thank you so so much for your kind words and encouragement. That's very sweet of you and you made me feel like I'm not alone in this.

I'm so happy things are going well with you and that you've recovered beautifully. It's so funny because you said something I've been thinking which is that I'm hoping to go out to dinner with friends or family and not be a weirdo when the food comes lol I can't wait till that time comes and I can feel somewhat normal.

I just can't wait to be home next months and I'm sure it'll make things better. I do take Protein Shakes now 30g of protein each but since starting week 4 today I'll limit it to only one shake and see how that goes.

I think maybe what I'm feeling is that head hunger also like you said and since I'm here alone I guess I've turned to good whenever I was bored or had any other emotions going on. Now it's just hard to figure out what to do but thank God I have a dog so he does keep me company

Good luck! You'll be fine!
Keep positive thoughts. I am excited. I did exactly what i was told. Changed my routine as much as i could so i wasn't sitting around. When do you start liquids?

South Jersey here. I'm waiting to be discharged. Had my sleeve yesterday. I have zero pain. Not taking anything but tylenol. I've asked if the pain is waiting til i get home. They say if it was going to it would've happened. I did everything they told me. The liquids were ok. The broth from wonton Soup helped. Don't watch food commercials! Lol
