Not that excited about phase two.



Recommended Posts

After the Great Disappointment I had with liquid Protein I'm not particularly looking forward to phase 2 full liquids. When I went into this I thought the food changeup would keep things exciting but frankly I mostly feel like I just had surgery and my stomach feels weird all the time. All I really want is purple gatorade and chamomile, I don't want to do any weird food experiments right now.

A couple days afterwards what I wanted most desperately in the world was a Mrs. Field's brownie. Now I'mnot even sure if I would be interested. I waited eleven days for butterscotch pudding. It seems kind of anticlimactic really.

This is by far the hardest part!!! Even when you find full liquids that you like or can tolerate, they get old really quickly. Hang in there and you will be moving up to the glamourous world of cottage cheese and yogurt in no time.

Drinkable yogurt got me over the hump in that stage - but everyone is different.

Hang in there!

On the bright side, you never have to drink clear Isopuke again. Pudding--I could take it or leave it. Greek yogurt with sugar-free flavored syrups is pretty good and I liked thinned-out oatmeal with some vanilla Protein Powder added.

I liked savory better early on, like split pea or blended bean soup.... with a glob of yogurt...

Since you like grape Gatorade maybe you would like the Grape Frost Isopure. It is kind of like Kool Aid and has 40 grams of Protein. It is the only flavor of Isopure I can handle. Sometimes I only drink half depending on what I need Protein wise and what I can handle at the moment but with half I still get 20 grams of protein. Also have you tried any of Eggface's Protein shakes. She has a lot of different shakes listed. I've been trying a few out and have found some I really like (chocolate Mint and strawberry Cheesecake are my fav so far). Good luck to you as you continue on- it really does seem to be like a trial and error process- somethings I like and some things I gag at. :rolleyes:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
