I am 7 weeks out and I love my shakes. I have actually been having them for several years. Loved them before surgery and just as in love with them now. Lucky for me, my taste buds have not changed much after surgery except scrambled eggs are not as appealing as they were but I all of the sudden do love me some banana in my shake. :)

I make mine with a few frozen strawberries, half a banana and about 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, 6 oz of skim milk, about 1/2 cup of Water and vanilla Protein powder, (and for now a teaspoon of miralax) and sip the morning away. I love the energy it gives me and gets me off to a good start on my Protein and some good, healthy fruit.< /p>

I also love my "mocha" shake, take whats left over of my one cup of coffee and toss in the blender, scoop of chocolate Protein Powder and some skim milk, a few ice cubes and while it may not be starbucks, from where I stand, I'll take it. :-)

Sorry my response is not very creative, I know about now lots of folks are tired of looking at the same old thing. :wacko:

I am sick of yogurt, fruit and oatmeal :((

eggs, bacon (I've eaten regular center cut & still lost, no issues at all), but go with turkey bacon if you'd like, sausage patty with side of scrambled eggs from Mc Ds, Jimmy Dean Sausage crumbles with scrambled eggs, Oh...and I would not recommend this often, but there is a breakfast bowl you can purchase in the frozen food section. It DOES HAVE POTATOES. It's also high in fat. Now, I've eaten one (most of one) twice but I worked it around the rest of my day being low in fat. They are good!! I'm sorry that I can't remember the brand name though.

I spray Pam in a ramekin dish...add some Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles, egg whites, and provolone cheese... microwave for 1 min. Easy, delicious and filling breakfast.

I have a two egg omelette with a slice of provolone or swiss cheese. It fills me up well all the way until lunch! I have eaten this everyday for three months and it hasn't gotten old. Before that, I would switch it up with Special K Protein cereal with almond milk, but there were too many carbs for my taste...although it is really good stuff!

Cottage cheese is a frequent breakfast food for me, in addition to what has already been mentioned. It's high in Protein and fairly low in carbs. Breakfast is the hardest meal of the day for me. I like to make sure I'm getting a minimum of 10 g of Protein, otherwise I feel like I'm playing catch-up at the end of the day.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
