My doc sent me home with Zofran and I use it when I need to. The French onion Soup sounds fantastic! I'm just backing off and going with what my sleeve can handle.

I know this sounds wierd but try wendys chili, mush it with a fork and chew it well. I swear it was the only thing that I could deal with for about 2 weeks. I have a wonderful copy cat recipe for it if it works for you!!

I hate sugar free anything, will not eat anything that is sugar free. Look up infused Water recipes they may help you also. I am not loosing weight as fast as others but I am not getting sick either. I am 30 pounds down since 5-11-15

I think you posted on another thread about their chili. I'm glad because I tried it last week and it works! I had 1/2 cup today. If not, thanks for sharing! Things are looking up!

I will use as my base the things that work and you can tolerate. Slowly try new things and add them in one at a time. I would give new foods a week before adding in more. As far as non dairy milks go hemp mike has the most Protein, but it's not a taste everyone likes. In the bean family split pea, lentils and black Beans have the most Protein. You can always puree them and mix with low sodium broth to make them more palatable. These would be foods to help you get more protein in during those early post op days.

If you are having trouble getting in Water try diluting 100% apple juice or white grape juice with your Water. They are high in sugar so be careful. I find a 1 part juice 3 parts water is tolerable for me, but that varies depending on your sweet tooth. I also enjoy water more ice cold so I pile on lots of ice. and even freeze the water bottles.< /p>

Have you tried Premier Protein it has 30 mg of Protein and taste great they have three flavors but I like the vanilla. Good Luck

@@AfitRN2015 I appreciate the tips! I'm doing great today. No more nausea. I'm able to get fluids in easily. I drank an Isopure Protein Drink with no issues. Tomorrow I get to try yogurt.

@@by Gods Grace I've been using Premier Protein for many weeks. It's my favorite out of all the Protein Drinks that I've tried. I don't like Isopure Protein drinks. Weird flavor and too high in carbs. Nothing I've eaten so far bothers my sleeve. I hope it offers the restriction I need to lose weight!

Try mashed cauliflower in the blender I do mine with some Protein Powder and I can't belive it's not butter... It looks and kinda tastes like mashed potatoes. You may have to wean yourself over to it.. Try mixing the potatoes in with less each time. Also have you tried almond milk. Even the chocolate is good. You may need to add some benefiber too. I have an angery sleeve too and found that 5 meals of a spoonful was better - sleeved June 16, 2015

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
