I have a little more class than being bluntly rude just because you did come across harsh. When the situation rises i speak my mind. There have been people that come on here being know it alls calling people names and acting all dramaish. I'm sorry i graduated high school a very long time ago and also deal with it with my daughters from time to time. Not going to happen here. Now let's all move in from here on a positive note. Welcome, we share three same date, and hope you are doing well.

Wait a minute...I haven't name called or insulted anyone on this board and as I explained before I wasn't trying to "judge" or berate anyone. Even though a few didn't like how my comment came across, I made it a point to apologize and clarify my statement and yet you want to tell me about be more classy? And according to MissMegan, I lack communication skills...really? So now I turn my question to you, what did I say to come across as "rude"...I'm confused. I can accept someone not agreeing with me and even criticizing, but the name calling and indirect insults are a bit childish. We are all adults here and I think folks should definitely take a moment to think before they speak.

A hard boiled egg sounds about like the best thing ever right about now! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

It was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth after the clear liquids.

I actually wasn't the one that said you lack communication skills. I simply noted that your comment felt judgmental, read your response, and moved on to more productive conversations. If you are uncomfortable in this thread I understand, but it seems like everyone else has moved on. I am above name calling, and have not done so anywhere on this forum. Feel free to take your advice, read comments more carefully, and think before you type. Im not going to apologize for speaking my mind, but let's get on with our new lives with a little more positivity.

How long where you on liquid after surgery

I had clear liquids and shakes for one week, soft proteins (cottage cheese, poached eggs...) for another week, and then the regular diet after that. The nut and dr said I was tolerating things well so there was no need to stay longer on those first stages. I can't wait for fruit and veggies!!!

Hi all i just did the op 6 day going fine but the drinks are getting boring

I had my surgery on April 11 and I am having a hard time. I feel overwhelmed and the thought of any flavor of protein makes me sick. Any thoughts?

Do you feel nausea all the time? You can get a prescription for nausea from your doctor. Have you tried the ready mixed Isopure from GNC? it is clear protein drink more like Koolaid than a milkshake. Maybe they would work better for you. I like the Blue Raspberry best.

I'm having unjury chicken broth mixed in Costco organic chicken broth for the first time and it's yummy.
