    Apps

    I'm using the Livestrong MyPlate app to track my food and the Happy Scale app to track my weight. MyPlate is pretty simple and gives you a pie chart of your macros on the front page.
  2. First day of puree diet!  I blended together four small pre-cooked meatballs with a couple tablespoons of marinara sauce and some Italian seasoning, and it was better than I expected.  I also mashed some canned carrots, but I could only eat about six or seven bites of the meatballs before I could feel myself getting full.

      Wasn't it wonderful to taste real food? I did something similar with meatballs. It was one of my go to foods.

      Sounds delish! I’m currently still on the full liquid diet stage. Enjoy!

      That's awesome! I should have done something like that. I survived on soups. My first food in the soft stage was meatloaf and I went at 12:01am to a 24/7 deli... I was so impatient. I tried to puree some rotisserie chicken with gravy... omg... that was a nightmare!

  3. Are you still taking any pain meds that make you drowsy? I did nothing but sleep and sip water for a few days after surgery, but once I started weaning off the hydrocodone, it started to become easier to stay awake.

    Anyone else HATE Protein Water?

    I only suffered through protein water the first week after surgery. I poured a Premier Protein clear drink into my 32 oz jug and filled the rest with water to dilute it, and it wasn't too bad.
  5. I tried Premier Protein, but it just absolutely doesn't work for me, so I've been having a lot of the Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt, cream soups, sugar free pudding, and a lot of water.

    Any June 2018 Sleevers in Here?!

    From what other people have said on the forum, we don't really feel restriction until the soft food phase, when we're actually putting solids into our stomachs.

    Vitamins post op- how soon?

    It definitely depends on your surgeon. Yesterday was one week post op, and they said I could start the chewable multivitamin and not worry about any of the additional supplements for now.

    Any June 2018 Sleevers in Here?!

    I started full liquids yesterday and I haven't had any trouble drinking an 11 oz protein shake or eating 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, so I think we're both doing fine.

    15 days post op and can drink 11oz of Protien Shake

    I came on here with the exact same question as OP, and this is just what I needed to hear. I was worried about not feeling much restriction with full liquids like Premier Protein or yogurt. Thanks!

    Is it too easy to drink my water?

    I'm not using the camelback yet, I'm just using the 32 oz jug I got from the hospital.

    Is it too easy to drink my water?

    Thank you!
  14. A lot of people on the forum say that it's taken them weeks or months to reach 64 oz of water in a day, but I'm four days post-op and I'm having no problem reaching it. Is this normal? I guess I'm just going through the phase where I'm paranoid about stretching my stomach out, but I just want some reassurance!
  15. Four days post-op now, and the funniest part of all of this is that every night, I've dreamt about eating...
