I have a new favorite, its 2 oz of fat free refried beans, 1.5 oz canned chicken, and I sprinkle cheddar cheese on top (1/2 oz). I add garlic and onion powder. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have found out the hard way that even though they say you can mix tuna or chicken with light mayo in the soft/puree part of the diet, I think the mayo is trying to kill me! The only thing worse than the stomach pain/gas pain it gave me is childbirth. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's a painful surgery, it will take time to heal, I dont think it's because of how you did on your pre-op diet. I'm 2 weeks put and still have a little pain but it gets better and better each day. Don't beat yourself up. You went though a surgery, anesthesia itself makes your body weak like you just fought a flu. It takes time. Hang in there.

My liver shrink was 2 weeks. I ate what I wanted until 14 days prior to surgery. The first week was a protein shake for 1 meal each day, and 2 meals consisting of 3-5 oz of lean protein and 1 cup of vegetables. In between was sugar free, non-carbonated liquids, and no caffeine. Crystal light, sugar free jello, chicken or beef broth, etc. The second week was 3 protein shakes a day and liquids as mentioned above up until the day prior to surgery. The day before surgery was no shakes, just clear liquids, a void red coloring. You will get through your holidays and still be able to shrink your liver in time, just enjoy in moderation. I know some plans dont want you gaining prior to surgery. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Have you tried scrambling only whites, and skip the yolk? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was told no caffeine for 6 months because it can irritate the pouch Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am dying to add some sort of different flavor or texture to my diet. Tuesday is my 2 week post-op and I will (hopefully) finally be able to move on to phase 3, pureed diet!! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my RNY on November 7th, 2018. I am trying my hardest to get all fluids I need. Has anyone found a good combo of bariatric vitamins to get everything we need? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
