I am struggling honestly to get my Protein in. I think I some how have become whey intolerant not sure if that can happen. I am drinking about 40-50 oz of Water daily. Also doing okay with Greek yogurt.

Greek yogurt is my friend. . I have 2 weeks full liquid. Then purred and mashed for 2 weeks. . Eggs next week can't wait

I'm with you. I can't wait for eggs! I'm hoping I'll get the thumbs up for puréed/mashed by Wednesday.

I am struggling to eat anything. I drink about 40 oz of Water today and get down whatever else I can. Protein drinks make me nauseous. I am so sick of sweet tasting foods! I eat Greek yogurt, pudding, Jello, Popsicles, broth, etc. and everything is sugar free. I hate artificial sweeteners, but if I must eat them for now, then I must. To make a long story short, I'm not eating much. I'm not hungry either. All of the foods I can eat are off-putting. I know I need to eat, so I continue to try to get something in me. Going to heat up some Soup now. By the way, I can only eat about 1/3 cup soup and it takes a bit.

Yeah eggs sound so good and refried Beans too! I'm like you and tired of all the sweets. I can eat a whole 8oz of soup before being full. I also still get hungry which I thought would go away. I know I'm only 9 days out but I am worried I am going to fail at this too.

You're not going to fail! Remember the power of positive thinking. Only think about the sleeve working and focus on making it work. We've got this! We're going to have our low moments, but we have to keep our eyes on the prize. The hunger is never supposed to go away. We are just supposed to feel fuller faster due to our smaller stomachs. Don't forget there is also head hunger. You may be mentally hungry at times and not physically. Pay attention to the cues. You got this! Like you said, you're only 9 days out.

As for refried beans...YES! I'm a bean lover, so I can't wait either.
