Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thanks,

Aline,what do you plan to eat for your first couple of meat trials? Like super puréed chicken with cheese on top?

Vermilly, can you try the unjury chicken Soup? I am on all clears for 2 weeks post op & my doc doesn't include Protein Shakes with that. They OK'd me to use the chicken soup made with Water & I've had it a bunch. Also, what about unflavored Protein powder mixed into Crystal Light or something? That's still slightly sweet, but not the overwhelming sweet of the premade shakes.

I'm doing OK, Amy. I'm struggling a little with diarrhea, so trying really hard to stay hydrated. I wasn't expecting to have to do clears for 2 full weeks after, but I'm trying to stick with it & still get the nutrients I need. The chicken soup has been great for me. How are you doing?

Thanks ladies...I am getting some tomorrow. I was scared to try it and waste my $ because I already bought a veggie soup and its like drinking veggie flavored chalk lol

I just had my two week post op visit and was told I'm doing good. Had a couple of incision sites that were infected but antibiotics cleared that up. I started yogurt and soup early, my nut said it was ok as long as I could tolerate it. I've lost 18lbs so I'm happy and I'm walking about 1/4 mile a day. My only concern is I like the Greek yogurt by stony field (blueberry flavor) and my nut says its a good source of protein (13 grams) however I don't think either of us realized that each cup has 15 grams of sugar! Is that too much or will it be ok? I haven't heard back from the Dr. Office yet.

@getlow, don't have a clue, I'm surpised to start with tuna,chicken shrimp or crab salads ...lol...any ideas?
