Yay, Linda! I've been wondering about you. Glad to hear you're moving forward as planned! I'll be with you in spirit. I'm going under the knife tomorrow at noon. See you on the Loser's Bench!

I have a list of bariatric-friendly protein shakes that my dietician gave me that has some really good ones you can mix up. Most notably the orange dreamsicle, pumpkin pie, apple pie, s'mores, chocolate peanut butter, and caramel latte among many others. If you want me to send you the recipe for a few let me know.

I'd love these recipes!

Hi sleevenIT,

I love my surgeon. No gas pain or shoulder pain a little soreness in my new tummy. I walked yesterday and this morning. Kind of feel like i didn't have major surgery. No complications. They were two other ladies that had surgery yesterday by my doctor and we walk to each other room and talked about our new journey. You would of thought we were old friends meeting up for a drink. Surgery was awesome.

So did he say anything about your liver??

It did shrunk alot. Just had my upper g.i. test to make sure there was no leak and everything looks good. I saw a small tummy on the screen

U had a 2 week liquid? Did u ever cheat? If so what did u eat?? Im so nervous i hope myliver shrinks

Yes i had 2 week liquid diet whicj consist of opti fast shakes, water, crystal light and sugar free jello. I am not condoning to cheat but i did cheat. I didn't go crazy i had the 5 mighty wings from McDonald the first week. What i shouldn't have done was ate steak day before surgery. I didn't eat a whole steak but did take a couple of bits. I lost 13 pounds within the two weeks. Surgery was a success and now im eating sugar free jello, crystal light and water. Yum

Lol well thats good to know i havent ate anything crazy but veggies like broccoli the first day i had ice cream nd thats all n i had like 3 vegan nuggets yesterday but it was high in protien...and i sometimes go in the fridge n take a slice of cheese for the taste
