i am going march 8th

excited and nervous, this forum sure helps

I'm scheduled for March 8th also.

I was march 8th also we should be buddies!

For sure, how r u doing. I am doing pretty good

I cant drink my shakes anymore, or milk for that matter:( get horrible belly cramps and a run to the bathroom about hakf hour after even a few sips.. Eas soy protein powder in almond milk and isopure are all that stay dawn, and they dont taste good. My belly is still sore, but I have been home alone wth my kids all week, lifting more than I should. I cant wait for real food!! Full liquids still till 28th, even though i really am only getting in my isopure and soy shake. Too full to drink anything else. Down 14 lbs since surgery:)

I had my surgery on march 9th and I lost 15lbs. I can have soft fruit and mashed potatoes and tuna.

How does anyone get enough liquid and protein in? It takes me literally all day to sip 3 protein shakes (which thankfully now stay in my tummy) that is only 330 cslories and 51 grams protein. I have to force myself to keep drinking them. Do you eat food just to get used to eating? Because i dont know when there is time to add more and i feel super full all the time. I can start purees today. I ate some refried beans with melted cheese, but then without drinking before and after i am behind on liquids and even more on protein now. A few bites of beans has barely nothing in it, lol. How do you get enough nutrition and fluid once you start eating?

Take Vitamins I am taking flint stones they just melt in mouth. I have started to eat chicken, salmon, tuna, broccoli,peas, potato, I even had a 1/4 toasted ham sandwich today, chew chew chew, that is the key, example of what I eat in a day,

Breakfast shake,

lunch, cottage cheese, fruit, or Soup creamy, or-yogurt/ fruit, probably 4 oz max

Supper chicken 3oz, or tuna 4tbsp, or salmon 4oz, with a veggie peas 2tsp broccoli 2 tsp, potato maybe 1 baby spoon, I do not snack I am not hungry so I between meals drink Water, although maybe I get down 25 oz, not much I know but slowly increasing.

I made this great pattie the other nite,

2 cups broccoli

1 fillet of salmon

1/4 cup shredded cheese

1or 2 eggs

1/4 c red onion

Put all in food processor, till chopped, then spray muffin tin with Pam, 1 heaping tbsp of mixture in muffin tin. Cook 350 for 20 mins,

1 was enough I was full, great to have handy in fridge or freezer,

Could use chicken tuna ham or a different veggie like cauliflower ,,,,,

After 3 weeks I am down 27.7 lbs and 10 inches
