Having my surgery on 19th sept. Pre op diet starts 5th sept.

One can of vegetarian retried beans split between 5 1/2 cup bowls with a sprinkle of cheese on top. Just ready to be popped into the microwave for a minute or so for a meal.

I actually ate one bowl for dinner and a bowl the same size of cottage cheese for lunch. I drank one and a half protein shakes today and have not had any water because I didn’t get up until after 12:00 today and after my shower I had to have my coffee. Then I had to wait 30 minutes before I could eat, and after I ate I had to wait another 30 minutes before I could drink the protein shakes.

One of my definite go tools. Easier on the stomach than most anything else I have tried.

Just had lunch and at 1:15 I will be able to have my first protein shake for the day

Ladies and gentlemen I don't know if you guys have heard of something called skinny syrups its a no calorie and no sugar liquid flavoring I just added a drop to my protein shake (which it says you can add to coffee oatmeal lattes yogurts etc.) And it made a big difference in taste the shake wasn't as charky way more tolerable. Mind you my surgery for the sleeve is in 2 weeks hopefully it will still taste great afterwards. They come in different flavors as well I saw pumpkin spice, vanilla, and mocha flavors from TJMAXX.

Thanks. Yvonne for the visual.

Hi KBridge,

I’m well. Traveled last week for work and it was tiring! I had my first bite of real food last night and that tiny amount of chicken salad might have been the best thing ever. Super frustrated that the scale didn’t move the whole week I was gone though. Ugh! Like how is that possible. I’m hoping I was swollen from flying.

Still some pain on left side but so much better. How are you?

I'm doing okay. Still extremely fatigued though and having trouble getting enough water or food but getting better everyday. I also still have pain on the left side and the incision right above my belly button.

Scale is moving but I still can't see it yet...apparently everybody else can.

our bodies are peculiar machines...I have no doubt that you will get back to losing again. Stay in touch!

When did you guys have your surgery

Plano Surgical Center

What date did you have the surgery ?

I'm 4 weeks post op today. It's still really hard getting my protein requirements and enough fluids each day. So I'm sure I'm tired from not eating enough!! How is everyone else going?

My surgery for the sleeve is on the 26th of this month. Just did pre o.o testing today.

Maybe that's my issue... not enough protein! I'm so exhausted most days and I'm 3 weeks tomorrow and geez I'm struggling! Any suggestions friends.. water and protein are extremely hard to get in. [emoji15]
