That's it, this is a day's worth in the life of Redhead [emoji14] I drink my 16 oz (or 8 oz if it's the cookie flavor) of Water in my shake, then from like, 8am-10am I've finished another 24 oz. And from around 12:30-3 I'm working on the next 24 oz. Finish whatever I still need to at home after dinner and typically before 8pm. I keep a Water on my nightstand if I get thirsty in the night, but try not to break into any food or liquid after 8. This is pretty average for me. It's pretty low Fiber so sometimes I supplement, sometimes I don't. My pipes run smooth enough so to speak so I don't worry about it a lot. I haven't seen the nutritionist since like, a month post op, but she said "it's not really about calories, it's about your macros" so if I meet my Protein (the one I worry about) in less than 400 calories and feel full, I'm chill.

Cool, never any hunger etc? when's the next time you see the NUT? Can you ask if everyone is low cal in your program and until when. I'm interested in knowing where everyones programs want them. Mine has me at 1000 cals. Also is synthrax fruity or milky?

Not really--Snacking was never on my surgeon/nutritionist plan they gave me so I never snacked. So I guess my body was trained or knows to expect food in the AM, lunch, and dinner and that's it. I don't see then nutritionist again unless I want to, which I don't (would have to pay for it, not included in my surgery). I think my program's average calories as it said in my binder was 800-1,000 a day or less once you reach 8weeks out. I just happen to meet it in less than that and so far no consequences. I have my yearly already scheduled so we'll see what they say about it then.

Syntrax has both types. The Fuzzy Navel is fruity, tastes like orange juice to me. The cookie flavor I have is better with almond milk if I have it and that'll taste milky, maybe too sweet for some but I like it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
