Okay was the first day I actually drove and have been off pain meds. I took my neice and My daughter to park. I am feeling great. Although when I bought the kids lunch I wanted so badly to eat a French fry. I am finding I am getting burnt out on my shakes already. I only had one today. My surgeon has me on sf Popsicle once a day one sf jello and three shakes.

Hi, what kind of shakes are you doing? I'm 10 days post op and the liquid phase was awful for me. I found ways to get by but it was really hard. Decaf Herbal tea helped as well as my protein shakes. I used Syntrax Nectar in Fuzzy Navel. Good luck, it does get better.

I found a website that sells samples of protein at a decent price. I hate that protein taste, but at least this way I can try a bunch of flavors without wasting a lot of money and product. It's called my Bariatric pantry. They have lots of other protein supplements as well. Just an option :-)

Our Dr had us drink 4-5 Protein drinks/day, sf Jello and sf popsicles and of course lots of Water. The Protein powder juices like nectar brand are good and we drink Premiere Protein and Adkins.

congrats and good luck!

I'm having a tough time responding to threads on my iPad. Ty for the advice. I am out of that phase now anyways. Now trying to eat soft foods and not get bored or grossed out. Puréed meats are not appetizing:(

Yeah that just grosses me out too. I am thinking ham salad, chicken salad & egg salad... How did that phase go for you?

I get the unflavored protein from isopure. I make smoothies, add it to pudding, and so on. I love it. Keep up the good work!

My surgeon lets me have sugar free pudding (I am 5 days post-op)- I love the cheesecake flavor!
