Post-op and stretching your sleeve

PROTEIN BARS

Hi all, Just curious im two months post-op I have lost 31 lbs(yaY) My question is if anyone use protein bars as one of their meals or mainly as a snack??? I really want to stick to just 3 meals a day but not sure if i should use the protein bar/drink as a meal I am having a hard time getting my 60-80 grms of protein daily thru regular food so im curious if i should use a protein bar/drink as a meal. I visited gnc today and purchase quest protein bars and isopure drinks. quest bars gives 20 grams of protein per bar and isopure drinks gives 40 grams protein.... by no means do i plan to eat more than one bar a day or drink one isopure a day I was sso surprised to see so many drinks bars shakes etc to choose from.(my first time ever visiting gnc) I am happy to have my sleeve but i find that i have to purchase more things to help with protein since i cant eat 60-80 grms daily.... There are some pros and cons to this whole wls.... by no means am i unhappy just have to get creative and not break my pocketbook buying all these vitamins supplements protein etc. Any feedback would be appreciated!   TD41

Nervous about the first time i eat soft foods and how to handle lunch when i return to work!

Hi, I know this is strange but im really nervous about trying softfoods in a couple of weeks.... I am on a 3 week post-op liquid diet per my physician. I have 2 weeks left and I dont know how i will deal with vomiting/sliming/chest pains and whatever else comes along with my new tummy mishaps. Yes i know i decided to have the sleeve and im not regretting my decisions but i dont want the discomfort or the ugly side of the sleeve to become a daily part of my life.... The first day i start soft foods i also return to work . I havent shared with coworkers/ family i had the surgery because i felt they honestly did not need to know and i will share if./when i choose to share. I have struggled with my weight for years and finally had the courage to do something about it but its been very painful, emotional, and extremely difficult. I know i am not the only one that has felt this way and im glad that this forum allows us to express the pain of weight issues/struggles/disappointments. I would greatly appreciate any tips, recipes, ideas on how to start soft foods also how to handle lunch at work!!! Thanks   Blessings, TD
