Beans! I was looking for the most bang for my protein.

If you don't take your daily vitamins it will catch up to you eventually,maybe not tomorrow,but it will.

I finally had enough guts to puree up some chili lol. Delicious but heavy.

Yaay! My stall broke yesterday! I spent 5 days without any movement of the scale and then BAM down 3 pounds.

How many weeks post op are you?

I took a trip 3 days post op that required me to sit in front of my family as they ate food at restaurants. Let me tell you how it's a MAJOR mind game. I even had a meltdown one of the mealtimes kind of regretting my decision. Now that I'm 3 weeks post op just try and stay positive and do things that will distract you from the fact that you cannot eat like you used to before. Be strong

Have you felt that uncomfortable feeling in your sternum?

Thanks! Any tidbits help!! You're a seasoned pro and I'm a newbie. I also had a question about the amount of pure I can fit in just about 3/4cup. Is this too much for being 16 days post op?

Thank you everyone!! I'm too weeks post op and have been living off of beans for the past 3 days. I came up with mashed potatoes instead of using water I used chicken broth and thinned out with half cup of milk. Turned out to be 13 g of protein 50g carbs

I'm at two weeks and feel the same way. 22 lbs and hit a stall,for some reason I think that's it. My body is done losing weight just because it's not just melting off as it did the two weeks before. My team says it's normal and should keep losing inches during this stall.

I'm in the exact same boat only I'm 2 weeks post op and stalled at 22 lbs lost.

I also am in the medical field and my husband works in anesthesia. I have also kept it from my friends and family.

Omgeeee.... I'm counting down the days till I'm 3 weeks post op to try all of those [emoji677]️

I've heard people say that things taste different after barriatric surgery,but how soon after did everyone (if you did at all) experience this? I'm 2 weeks post op and seemed like it happened over night. Muscle milk in which tasted alright before now tastes like sour milk to me and Gatorade tastes super salty and filled with chemicals. How soon did your taste buds change after surgery and did they ever go back?

Me too. I've been living off of greek yogurt and pinto beans. They both are packed with protein.
