I recently had my sleeve done on 12/14. Some how and amazingly 9 days later I already lost 27 pounds. I had my follow up with my surgeon and he was so happy for me. I am happy with the number as well, wasn't expecting that so early but realistically I'm a little sad cause all I keep thinking about is pizza and buffalo chicken salad lol. I can't wait to eat again. I'm sick of the liquid diet already. Anyone else New having a hard time coping with the liquid diet? It feels like it will never end

I had my DS on the 14th as well. The liquid diet was killing me! It helped to put onion powder and other seasonings in my broth. Thank goodness I am on soft foods now. Hang in there!!

Hey ally honestly all I can stomach is baby applesauce and baby Water right now, it's taking me a little longer but hopefully I can be on to the soft foods by New Years or a little after the broth made me feel sick so I gave up on it

Well I crave my soft foods constantly then eat 1-3 bites and am sooooo "over it". But this too shall pass. We are getting stronger and better every day!

Yes I get the over it feeling as well, I'm going to try some chicken noodle Soup today hopefully it will stay down and thank you for the onion powder idea I will be trying that sometime this weekend!

I was sleeved on 12/13 and still on liquid & Protein shake diet. I can not stand the Protein shakes any more!!! . They make me reflux and almost like over sugared. Ugh

Have you tried anything else besides the shakes? I can't even drink them yet it makes me reflux as well. Apple sauce and mini chicken noodle soup stays down well for me

I got unflavored Protein powder and put it in chicken broth. That way i can get my protein in somehow

That's a good idea I need to try that! I've been taking my Vitamins daily so my surgeon said we will worry about the Protein next week lol he's so concerned about me staying hydrated right now

I have the unflavored GENEPRO that has 30grams Protein per serving and do very well in it. I have put it in decaf coffee, Powerade, even mixed it in some sugar free Jello. To me it does change the taste/texture minimally, but not in a displeasing way. There is no way I could get my protein in without it.

Ok that sounds good. I slowly try to drink the already made Premiere Protein shakes in the chocolate flavor. I can only have a few sips at a time but it is great. When did you start drinking Powerade? I will ask my surgeon if I can drink that or Gatorade

I buy the sugar free ones. It was on my list of okay Clear liquids along with the sugar free Vitamin waters.
