Wow you are doing great! Congrats! How do you feel? Do you feel lighter? I know the difference in your stamina must be from A to Z.

Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. I’m finally on regular food again and my doctor released me to go back to the gym. SO, Iv pretty much been living at the gym everyday! Since the start of my pre-op diet and then surgery...Iv lost 85 pounds so far!

How is everyone doing?

I’m down 75 pounds so far since the start of my pre-op diet.

I’m so sick of powder / Milk-based protein!!!

I’m going good! Been going to the gym everyday and walking in the swimming pool for exercise. I’m having a hard time getting my Protein in though. I’m so sick of powder / Milk-based protein! So Iv been buying the Isopure juice. But it’s $45 for a case.

I have ordered the oatmeal Protein Cookies a few times. This week I ordered the Protein Peanut Butter bar. I’ll see if I can link in an edit.

Those things have been a lifesaver for me! I was doing fine on powders and premier before my surgery, but after anything milky or chalky was making me sick. They are expensive, but I’m so glad there’s an option with a lot of Protein that I can tolerate. And I figure I was spending way more than $5 for a meal before surgery, so maybe it’s not too bad?

i also love the Premier Protein shakes,have only tried,chocolate,vanilla,& caramel which is my favorite one so far.i also use Isopure unflavored powder to mix in everything.

when do u start full liquids.that is much better than just clear.the sf pudding & fudgesicles are yummy.

macpower u are doing so good,glad ur bk on.i thnk because of our stomachs still being swollen from surgery & not fully heeled yet & our taste buds being so off that it is hard to tell if ur full or hungry.i feel like i need to eat 6 sm meals a day.i am starting to feel full quicker now.my dr wants me to eat 3 meals a day but i can only eat so much at a time but then im hungry 2 hrs later.im sure it will b easier to do once im eating real food again.i am on pureed food now but just cant stomach looking at my food like that except for soups.i made a lasagna bake w soft zucchini & squash on the bottom,a shepherds pie,sauteed spinach,rsted acorn squash & a pumpkin pie custard the other day.it was great to cook again.i can smash up my shepherds pie & it went dwn well.the lasagna bake was delicious but kind of rich,the sauteed spinach did not agree w me so well.the pumpkin custard was yummy & the acorn squash was good.i did try some chkn in little bitty bites & spinach & lets just say it started out well but shortly after everything came up.well i guess it serves me right for not pureeing it first.its also so hard to eat slow,especially when it is soft food.

I have not tried their Soups, seems very pricey. I make lots of my own Soups in a slow cooker. Very easy.
I have purchased a few Protein snack items, and while expensive I have found them to be tasty and I order them occasionally for work Snacks for a change from usual snack items I have on hand.

I know I’m Post-Op now, but I seem to get more info from everyone in this group.

So I’m on my 5th day post-op. All I can eat is liquids till the 30th when I meet with my doc again and he hopefully moves me to more solid food.< /p>

I was looking into the Soups on the Bariatric Pals Store. Has anyone tried any of them and if so, are any of them good?

Are you noticing any signals of fullness or hunger? I just feel kind of "there"---not hungry, not full, just there. So, I'm able to get most of my requirements in, but I worry that I'm not getting a full signal. Does that not show up until we're off full liquids?

I hope you love them as much as I do!!!!

At this rate I could be a spokesperson for them I am such a fan. However, keep in mind I HATED Protein Drinks before finding these after 4 years of searching for one I could tolerate.

They sure did, wish I could have sued their sneaky little backsides. Must,have been wearing my Stupid Suit with the matching Fool Me beanie. [emoji33]

I’m 5 days Post-Op. I don’t know if my taste buds have changed, cause I’m stuck on this liquid diet still. But I do know that I can’t stand SF Popsicles anymore! I bought a huge case of them before my surgery and now I can’t stand them!

You can also order on the Walmart website, and there's actually a combo option (so you can order three packages) at a very slightly cheaper price than in-store or individually. https://www.walmart.com/co/Premier-Protein-Shake-Bundle-12-Count-Choice-of-Flavors/47222977

my bariatric and my left,shoulder. Anything else, no thank,you.[emoji14]

I finally went number 2 so it took 6 days from surgery today I feel weird not sure how to describe it almost like I could feel my stomach before it was more like numb don’t know why I did sleep in more today it’s a beautiful rainy day in nyc

Thanks, got an idea for a personal one for this,AM . Legs have been kind of achy, lie on my,back, bend knees up to chest then use Mr Stretchy and kick them out straight. Like to do,15 but I'll see how I feel after the first 5. The journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step. I think that may be an old Chinese proverb. Smiles and blessings on your day MANPOWER! ,,,,,,Frust8

I hope you continue to keep us updated on your progress
