The silverware looks good. I actually just bought toddler silverware and bowls. I also use the tea plates rather than a normal sized plate. It's all worked well for me after surgery.

We have one very spoiled Golden Retriever. His name is Sam. 

No regrets here. I was do worried about it pre op. But I am so happy that I got my sleeve.

I had surgery on 2/9 and I had a dent. It worried me when I first saw it. But it has gone away already.

After surgery the Premier Protein shakes have been a bit heavy and my stomach doesn't sit well with all the dairy. Well I found these GNC Total Lean Shakes so far I've tried shamrock cream and banana and they are amazing. The shamrock one seriously tastes like a shamrock shake. I love them!!

I am making this tomorrow.

The group we created is on Facebook. I linked it earlier in this thread it is called Bariatric and Beyond 2018 so of you go on fb just search that name. The group is all Feb surgeries!

On the plus side today I am experiencing eggs for the first time. I am going super slow but so far so good!!

Looking for a workout buddy. It's all about accountability for me.

How many people are now running since wls? I currently am walking but really would like to work up to running. Programs are plans you suggest that will take you from walking to running. I would like to do a 5k at some point. Any tips at all would be appreciated.

So today I had my first NSV today! I was getting ready to go to the Drs and I just randomly grabbed some jeans. They were not my normal size they were a size down from that and they fit perfect even with a bit of room! I was so excited. So the bad was that I was putting on said jeans yo be tested for the flu. And of course I have the flu and am starting tamilu .one. day. all. The. Things. Will. go.right.
I seriously want to hit the gym now. But I feel like I've been hit with a truck full of bricks. I want normalcy.lol

I know of other clinics that don't require anything but clear the night before. Unfortunately though my clinic did a ten day liquid diet.

I am a big fan of the Tomato bisque. I cannot even think about chicken broth anymore without gagging!

If you go on Pinterest you can find a recipe and make them yourself.

Wahooo girl! I hope to be there right with you on the full liquid phase by Wednesday (2.21.18).
I can have Protein Drinks, strained cream and regular Soups, Clear Liquids, Greek yogurt thinned down with Fairlife fat free milk. Nothing that has Fiber in it--so green smoothies are out.
I figure I will get some jars/cans of Tomato bisque, poblano Soup, etc and strain them and add Protein Powder to them. Also, I can have V-8 which also makes a tasty "soup" with Protein and spices, heated up to warm it. I think I remember I can have Jello sf pudding as well as the Jello, popsicles, sf fudgesicles. I'm gonna try mixing Premier Protein with SF pudding or unflavored jello and see if I can churn it into ice cream. LOL. Will see.
I'm with the others. Ricotta Bake won't come until puree phase for me, which will be in about 3 weeks.

So I had surgery on 2/9 was on clears that week. Today I got moved to full liquid. Did any of you get creative and do any recipes. And at what stage can we do the ricotta bake? I have noticed my clinic prolongs our stages much longer than other clinics. Oh and last question which app is better for tracking myfitnesspal or baritastic?

I had my surgery on 2/9. Not in to much pain. I'm off the pain killers and just doing Tylenol. I am so happy I made the choice to have this surgery. I am still on clears until Friday. I can't wait to progress in my diet!!

Well I finally made it. I had my surgery on 2/9. It went really well. I was discharged the next day. I've had some pain but it's nothing like I expected. I am very happy I got my sleeve!!

How are you doing/ feeling?

Thank you for posting. Mine is tomorrow and I am having some anxiety about it!

My doc pushes dairy. It drives me crazy. They tell me to drink milk when I am feeling hungry on the pre-op. Pfft my stomach does not agree with any dairy.

Each dr is different I would check with yours.

strawberry and banana sounds amazing!! No Hyvee here. I wonder if Walmart has a store brand of popsicles with different flavors. Shall investigate.

Do you ladies have a Hyvee near by? They are my favorite sf popsicles they have strawberry, banana, and cherry in there box. It's my go to when I need to chew. 4 more days if I don't count today!

Anyone else get sick on the pre op liquid diet? I have been on the liquid diet since weds. Then this morning I had half a Protein Drink and some broth. I threw up all the broth. Is this normal? I don't feel sick like a stomach bug or anything. I feel like my body is just pissed at me for not eating..
