Hey guys!

I'm post op one week exactly today. I'm dying on the shakes, broth, popcicles and jello. Any other options? I have my post op appt tomorrow but I find myself so bored of these things. I cant. Help!

Me too!!! And my appointment is tomorrow also. Are u having any trouble eating ot drinking? I'm not at all. I can drink 2 cups of broth....with a spoon so I feel like I'm eating....at a time. I'm supposed to move to thicker stuff after the appointment but I'm going to see if they will let me incorporate some soft foods too. Fingers crossed....but probably not!

Yes I can eat it feels like normal. I'm afraid to over do it so I never drink enough to feel overly full just content. I'm out of my chocolate shake powder and the vanilla ones suck. I made some Protein ice cream I'll list the recipe below but damn I want some chocolate and some chicken. I am still having cravings and was told they would cease after surgery with the hormones. I also feel like I'm hungry all the time.

Protein ice cream:

1/3 cup h2o

1/3 cup coconut cream (</= to sugar and fat than skim milk for flavor)

1 1/2 scoop vanilla Protein Powder

1/2-1 cup of ice

Blend well.

It's like a shake alternative but the cream gives it that different texture. Still didn't suffice my craving.

Sleeve sisters!

That's sound like a good idea. I'll have to try it!!

I got bored with the fluids too, but remember that soon it will be a distant memory, and you need to do it to help your body heal. Broth was probably the best at killing hunger for me.

Glad I'm not alone. I am just so antsy. Also discouraged only lost 11lbs was expecting more.

Don't be discouraged. The first week loss is not a good guide I'm not getting to excited until week 4 that should be more real , we have been thru major surgery folks let let our body heal then we can kick some ass lol
