Hi Everyone,

My surgery date is June 11th, any other June dates out there?

Can't say I don't get hungry. I get hungry every few hours. But at 1/4 cup servings the protein requirement is impossible for me. I don't feel bad though. Water is easy. I sip all day.

stacielynntate Happy Birthday! I hope you have had a wonderful day. It is my oldest daughter's birthday today also!

oh thanks so much. I spent my day relaxing watching tv and had a nap as well. Since in cake this year ( and to be honest I did miss it) I am treating myself to nonfat, sugar free frozen yogurt.

Happy birthday to your daughter.

I was shocked today when I began eating a container of yogurt and before I knew it, I had consumed the entire 5.3 oz . Up until today, a few spoonfuls filled me...anyone have a similar experience? I am 10 days post op and 3 days on Phase 2. I did not have my 3rd protein drink of the day, so maybe that's why I had so much room in my pouch? I'm confused.

I'm a June 23rd surgery date. I'm still on liquid diet until Monday. I've tried a few solid items and I've have no problem eating.

I still don't feel hungry! When I get to phase 2, I guess I will see that change.

No idea why you could eat so much! That is weird!

my surgery was June 4th 2014.

Yes it seems like I can eat a lot of carbs which is odd and yogurt.

Oh I know! (I think). Doc told me everything in there was swelled up really badly. When the swelling goes down the pouch gets roomier. My friend who had this done years ago said she can hold 1/2 c now. And, from looking at 1/4 c in a bowl 1/2 c seems like quite a bit. Lol! Coming from a woman who could eat an entire steak, baked potato and a salad without batting an eye. Oh I'm so funny.

i have 2 days to go to eat soft foods. i honestly can't wait to have a small piece of salmon which is exactly what i'm planning on having for dinner on wednesday! so far i've been able to take in all my protein, i drink either the black tea flavored isopure (the only flavor i find palatable) that has the 40g of protein and 1 fage plain greek yogurt that has 20g (split morning and afternoon), or i have the yogurt and 1 myoplex chocolate protein shake that has 42g of protein, plus of course, plenty of water throughout the day. i'm so happy i did this and that i'm doing so well, so far. i'm really happy to hear from all you other june sleevers and how your progress is going as well!

I haven't found any of the Isopure tolerable. They taste and smell like chemicals. Which is too bad because they have so much protein. I haven't tried the myoplex yet. Does it taste chemical?

I am wondering how many calories people are getting in. I was sleeved 6/19 and am getting around 650. Plenty of Protein and low carbs. I am also eating deli meats and cheese with no issues as long as I eat really slow and chew everything thoroughly.

i know what you mean about the chemical taste, but the black tea for me is tolerable. i pour it over crushed ice and squeeze a good amount of lime (or lemon) in it. i tried 3 other flavors, but they were really gross. the myoplex is definitely much better tasting. the chocolate fudge is the one i buy. it's not exactly chocolate milk, but very tasty when nice and cold. give it a try and let me know what you think.
