Finally able to tolerate broth and scale issues

Ok! So it's been 5 days since surgery 12/27..I had only been able to do crystal light, ice pops and water sparingly..today I finally had chicken broth! I will begin adding protein-although whey protein gets me nauseous-someone recommended Soy protein. I finally able to tolerate more oz of liquids at a time. Jell-o was not even going down! Stocked my shelves with oatmeal and yogurt ready for Wednesday. I'm not seeing the scale go down though...however even if I hold a large item it tells me same weight. Go figure! Lol I'm thinking its best to wait for my doc apt for that?! I'm going to go nuts though unless I see that scale move. I keep thinking this WILL work it can't right???

At my 1 week post op visit last week, their scale showed a weight loss of 19 pounds. My scale showed a weight loss of 12 pounds. I'm trying to only weigh myself twice a week so I don't go crazy on those days nothing happens. It will work if we do our part. You are, so it will work!

There are many high protein Soups you can order from my bariatric pantry and others. For example, tomato soup (15 G protein), chicken soup (12 G protein)
