I'm going to pureed foods starting on MONDAY! Been daydreaming about salsa and guacamole...who needs chips?? Oh and also that famed ricotta bake, can't wait!

Also, I hope it's okay to gush because...I JUST HIT 30 POUNDS DOWN TODAY! Counting my two week pre-surgery liquid diet and the almost three weeks since surgery I have lost THIRTY FREAKING POUNDS!!! HOLY FREAKING SH**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!

236 is my first goal - it's the lowest weight I've been in the last decade - and now I'm only like 16 pounds away from that. THAT IS NUTS!

I've had multiple days of no losses and even gains the past week and have been feeling discouraged/worried about what things would be like when I progress from my current liquid stage, so I had to share the rebound! Sorry if that's annoying to do here!!

so happy to read your post. I am 2 and a half weeks post op and have not lost anything for about 4-5 days and have been worrying. Your post gives me hope.

Sleeved 7/11

I was worried about the puree stage as a vegan. But I started to think of how I can add protein to what I am making and realized I could make a high protein smoothie with 47 grams of plant based protein. I add fresh fruit and spinach to my ninja. What ever your favorite fruits and veggies will do. For protein, I add a scoop and a half of vegan protein powder (30 grams of protein). My favorites are 22 Days in strawberry and vanilla and Amazing Grass in chocolate peanut butter. To this I add 3 Tablespoons of hemp heart (10 grams of protein). Since one cup of unsweetened soy milk has 7 grams of protein, that's the milk I choose.

I am taking a capsule form of healthy hair, skin, and nails which I open and pour in along with a packet of powdered matcha that I pick up at Trader Joe's.

Oh no! I’ve been looking forward to bananas! I was thinking of making a smoothie with chocolate premier protein and banana and a little peanut butter (or PB2)...I’ll have to take it slow!!

I got excited and put 1/2 my 11 oz choco premier protein, a few ounces of skim milk, a lot of ice, and a lone tablespoon of peanut butter in my nutribullet blender and it was DELICIOUS and then I felt SO nauseous/ill/disgusting and had to lay down for an hour. I think I was excited and drank too fast, but it also seems that maybe it's too soon for peanut butter. I had about 2/3 of it before feeling terrible...

Has anyone tried PB2? Any thoughts?

So I’m almost 4 weeks post op. I’ve been feeling real nauseous for the past week. As a result I can barely eat/drink, even water is making me nauseous. I got some medicine from the doctor to help with the nausea. Someone told me about Life WTR , it has electrolytes in it. Has anyone tried it or had a similar issue?
