Good question, I haven't tried it, but I know it has a lot of sugar in it but not sure if that would bother us!

Thank you so very much! I'm very excited to be on the other side!!!

Well it can't be almost the 28th!!

Best of luck tomorrow! We will be praying for a good outcome!

OOF! I didn't think I'd run into dumping so soon. Supposed to transition to full liquids and Protein Shakes. Two sips of a Premier Protein shake and BOOM, shakey, nauseous and racing heart. Apparently lactose is no longer my friend, there's only 5g sugar in the 11oz pre-made shake.

Surgery is in 1 day now. Nervous!

Good luck tomorrow. It's all surreal but goes pretty smoothly. My surgery was yesterday. It's takes courage and you'll be amazed that you actually went thru with it.

My doctor said to wait 2 weeks to try the premier shakes, so you might try again later on. He only wanted me to use the bariatric shakes like Unjury those 1st 2 weeks, probably because of the sugar.

You will do great!!! Excited for you & you will look back & be so glad you did it! Today is 3 weeks for me! And still very glad!

Hello all! Surgery was Tuesday, had a rough 2 days but woke up today with hardly any pain! Getting discharged today (yay) can't wait to recover in my bed without nurses poking me every 5 mins lol. My surgeon has been by to see me she said surgery went great. Can't believe I actually went thru with it!

I'm not sure about what you are supposes to eat but I know from the booklet we got at least I am not supposed to have fruit for the first year as it has to much sugar and can stall wait loss and stop ketogenisis

That's probably the case. I have other Protein options, it just threw me for a loop how quickly I felt sick! Otherwise I'm ok, I can get the Water in without too much trouble.

Hello TyTy! Glad you are better today! It's so much better at home for some rest!! I still think sometimes did they actually do anything! But still no hunger & if I hadn't had it with as little as I'm eating I would be starving!!!

[60&goin4it 931]

I will have to check it out! I noticed you do a ricotta bake, its probably the same one I do! One of the first things I made when I could eat soft foods! I made homemade chili a couple of days ago, my normal recipe except leaner beef & no sausage. Ate 1/2 cups of it & had no problem! I do add a lot of Beans to it. Tasted so good!!!

@@60&goin4it - Please share your chili recipe!

Not sure how good this is for all bariatric patients but I seemed to manage it 11 days out! Small dime size bites, chew chew chew, & slow! Its my own recipe & has a lot of ingredients.
