    I'm in despair

    I'm 9 weeks out and still having trouble eating all the protein, liquids and getting enough calories in. I still remember those first few weeks. All I could really do was drink the life water, popsicles and jello. I found the flavorless Beneprotein and started adding it to jello, and anything else. All the people are in here have such good advice. All you can do is try to drink water. The doc was okay with me waiting a little longer to start the puree. Do what feels right for your body? I hope you geel better soon. Xoxo
  2. I never heard of this but am going to look it up. It's only been 9 weeks, but I lost 48lbs and my boobs are deflating especially on the top, the stretch marks are more visible and it makes wrinkly looking skin. I hope I'll keep learning about the options on here. Thank you so much for posting Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Swelling legs and feet

    I would get edema and to even take lasix pills before my journey. I haven't had the edema since the surgery on 1/29/19 Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    pinto beans

    I had beans in the puree stage and they were all that made me feel satisfied and better than I had been feeling, since the surgery. I used lowfat cheese too. I could only eat a little bit.. but tiill this day it's my safe go to meal. But each person is different. They do make you too. But I had no pain or bloating discomfort. Good luck
  6. I think so fat the Premier Shakes are the best taste and bang for our buck (powde). The nutritionist said I could use sugar free Torani flavors to change the flavors. She also said to try using my crystal light drink mixes or the imitation flavorings we use to bake with. The cookies in cream in the can version and the clear drinks are a little to sweet for me. I do like their protein bars. I just tried the new breakfast square and didnt like that too much.
  7. You look gorgeous in all those pics. Congratulations!

    Jan 2019 bypass buddies

    I hope I can join your group. I had my RNY gastric bypass surgery on 1/29/19. I've had trouble eating. It feels like I just prefer drinking water. I feel so dehydrates and weak. I've lost 48lbs since surgery, but feel and look like the walking dead. I'm starting regular food and hope that will help me since I dislike soup and mushy foods. Does anyone have these problems of feeling dehydrated and weak? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

  15. I was told to crush everything that was bigger than the eraser on a pencil, Except the time released medications for the first 4 weeks. But I couldnt handle the taste. So I cut some of the pills. Like gabapentin in 4 and i swallowed them that way.

    chewable vitamins

    I take these too, although I'm not a fan of the taste.
  20. I had my surgery on 1/29. I'm having trouble drinking enough water and getting in protein. I started sipping on Premier Protein Clear Protein Drink. P sugar, 20g protein and only 90 calories. I have the Orange Mango. They have a strawberry one too. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Yogurt

    Chobani seems like the highest in protein and it's all I can eat so far for the mushy food. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Liquids to mush

    I had my gastric bypass surgery on Jan 29th. I was told not to go to mush until 14 days after the date of release. So far chobani yogurt and maltomeal are what I can handle. I don't like broth or soups so I don't know what to eat. Good luck and God bless
