Not pills. I normally start the day with a loaded up protein shake blended in the bullet. I may not have it until close to lunch time some days, I am never in a hurry to eat/drink first thing like I used to be. How about you?

Two big mugs of coffee with half & half and a 16-20 oz bottle of flavored sugar free water.

I just saw the underlined "sugar free water" and I was so confused. I thought maybe some people's taps were dispensing sugar water!!!!! ?

Yeah, when I re-read it it was totally clear, but you know how this site underlines random words, that's what through me off

First thing I have is water and I do take my multi on an empty stomach...wait 15 mins then have breakfast. Bfast is usually oikos triple zero yogurt. I was a breakfast eater prior to surgery but sometimes unnecessarily restricted myself and called it intermittent fasting. It was miserable for me.

You are about 2-3 weeks ahead of me. Have you lost 36 lbs since surgery?

Close to it (like 33 since surgery).

Oh, yeah, well, obviously that too, but I was hangry all the time I was dieting until the last few months when I discovered protein (I'm wondering how I'll be after I actually have surgery...)

Protein will be your best friend after surgery! After you discover what your little stomach can handle anyway. Mine still revolts with too much chicken and doesn’t love beef so much now. Waah!

Black tea with half and half, Chai or green tea latte. Then water or other sugar free drink. Sometime herbal coffee alternative since I had to give up coffee 2 yrs ago.

When I was in weightloss mode, I pretty much stuck to greek yogurt or protein shake for breakfast every day. In maintenance, I've expanded a little, but am still pretty boring! Shake, bar, yogurt or 1/2 breakfast sandwich.

Most days it’s probably Diet Pepsi (which you can pry from my cold, dead hands!), coffee with a protein shake as creamer or a smoothie. If I’m working it’s usually coffee and protein shake that I drink in between sips of protein beef bouillon. On the rare occasion I’ll eat something first like a protein bar, pickled vegetables, or dinner (I work nights).
