First few days are extremely tough. But I'm now on day 12 and I'm like a new person. Trust the process. Things will get better. I'm here for support. Keep going ur doing great xo

Hi! I am 4 days post op. I have been working to add in more protein in the non-protein foods like jello. The protein powder I have is terrible! No flavor is a lie! It becomes thick and sticky/ any suggestions on best types of non-flavored protein powders?

I'm allowed to have flavored so I have vanilla. Chocolate and strawberry EAS whey 2 scoops per shake. Low carb and 30 grams protein. It's delicious with almond milk and a banana all mixed in the ninja.

That sounds lush!! [emoji4]

I'm good. I'm going for my follow up with my surgeon on Tuesday to get cleared for work. Getting the puréed foods down is still difficult. I get a lot of bubbles / air and it makes me feel like I need to burp. Ugh [emoji58] but I'm not gonna complain I lost 30 lbs but now the past 4 days have weighed in the same every day. I heard it's common to plateau after surgery a little and then start losing again.

How's everything with u

Glad your doing ok, the trapped air must be so uncomfortable, I heard about the plateaus too they seem very common.
Counting down the days until my sleeve [emoji4] can't wait

Day 5 I'm drinking good... a little scary. I'm not sipping!!! My BT told me to sip sip, shorten time until I cannot tolerate and now I'm scared! I'm taking regular drinks!! I'm the complete opposite! Any ideas on my situation?! I'm so scared I stretched myself out! At first I said cool... then I said oh crap!

Hey bambam, me too! (11days post op) I feel amazing, though today I'm a tired so I'm taking in easy. I sip, but I can sip pretty fast. Meaning I can drink my Pure Protein Shakes in no time flat, less than 5 mins. When I take my pills in the morning, I take a little more water ? Goes down so easy. I do have some extra gas in my stomach when I drink my 9oz. of bone broth. Next Wednesday Aug. 3rd I have my first post-op with my surgeon. ??‍⚕️I will be asking lots of questions. The following day (post-op day 15) I start soft foods and I am looking forward to that. I walk for about 3 miles every other day. I can wait to get into the pool ? at 30 days post-op.
