Hey Trudy. I hope you had a great weekend as well. My name is India. Let me know how you like the Protein with the 30 grams. I am always looking to eat more Protein especially since that helps with building muscles.I am glad you did well at the party. I went to visit my family this weekend and they grilled out and had junk there. I had some fruit and tried to eat a few bites of a burger. My stomach was not having that. I will just have to stick to bringing my own foods to events for now. It is definitely worth it! I heard that there will be pain around the biggest incision as well. If you'd like to try the Protein shakes you can text me and I will send you the samples. I don't want them to go to waste. 404-956-7280. I have already mailed out Vitamins to ppl on here. I would rather give them away then throw them away..

Wablue. I'm Trudy btw. I haven't really been that focused on my protein intake goal. My docs said I should be more concerned about it 5 weeks out and while I'm not looking forward I hairloss. It's all I can do to get in "food" and liquids daily. I have no idea what I like as far as protein goes. I liked muscle milk but I'm not even sure that's any good. I have brown rice Protein Powder from my last diet attempt which isn't that bad it's just super gritty. If u want to share ur shakes I will totally try them. I registered with insurenutrition.com but haven't heard from them. A fellow patient mentioned that the shakes they sent had 30g of protein in them or something. I'd love to try those so I'm patiently waiting to hear from the site. Went to a party last night managed to find some edible food and drink lots of Water so I know I can handle it. I knew beforehand that I'd be able to eat something there so I wasn't totally worried. But it's good to know that I can manage myself around large quantities of food and constant exclamations of "oh my God this is sooooo good!". I heard that a lot last night. Lol. But honestly other than one thing I really wanted to try I wasn't that interested in the food.
I've been experiencing a little pain around my largest and most discrete incision. I'm hoping that goes away soon. There's no redness. I must have irritated it somehow.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Hi Denise. Thank you. Totally awesome. I'd love to share war stories and meet up. How are you doing so far? Starting moist and mushy tomorrow. So excited! Lol. What kind of foods were you able to eat during that phase? What's changed in your life so far? Oh and where downtown do you work? I'm close by the Freedom Tower.

I'm Trudy btw.

Hi Trudy,

I'm doing pretty good. I started the gym this week so I feel like I'm getting back to a normal schedule. I was out for three weeks so this is my second week back at work, surgery was June 30th.

I came home (day #2) on soft and pureed food. I eat eggs, tuna fish, chicken salad, egg salad, pureed baked chicken, fish, turkey meatballs, turkey slices and yogurt. What's changed is the way my clothes fit and the amount of food I'm able/unable to eat. It's amazing to me how much I can eat.

How are you feeling? Are you tolerating the soft/pureed food well?

I work on Broadway, 2 blocks from City Hall. We work in the same area. I'm looking forward to sharing stories and possibly meeting up. Have a wonderful day and even better weekend.

Denise. Hello. I have a cousin located in the Bronx who might be interested in starting the process. Do you mind sharing your doctor's information so that she can get in touch with them? Thank you in advance. How are you doing otherwise? I may be coming to the city one day next week. Right on Wall Street too. I'll let you know once I get confirmation and perhaps we can get together for a tête-à-tête. Speak to you soon.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
