I tried the egg drop soup (takeout) and I was surprised that it didn't upset my stomach. Oddly enough I'm struggling with the Protein Shakes and yogurt. BTW I had the sleeve on the 19th.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using BariatricPal mobile app

I prayed and let it go about 20 times[emoji1] The night before surgery, my husband and I had an argument simply because he could tell "something" was on my mind. I cried and [emoji24]. Then the morning of surgery, I had peace about it. Some things may or may not work, but deep down you just KNOW you're going to do well. I finally figured that out the morning of...
