My sleeve surgery isnt scheduled until August. When do I begin counting protein and carbs and fats? Whats the best way to do this?

When you reheat things in the microwave you remove some of the moisture. So leftovers become denser and harder to eat. I never had anything like this on soft foods I had soft baked fish. Call your Dr, you should not have pain when eating.

Mine is 9.9 and they are going to do the surgery.

I agree with orionburn, it is best to start with decaf. That's what I did. Then my nutritionist cleared me for regular coffee at 12 weeks post op. She said to start slowly, which I did. I handled it just fine and now at 4 and a half months post op, I drink 1-3 cups of coffee a day. But I have read where some people's nuts or doctors don't want them getting back on the caffeine at all, so your best bet is to check with them.

Thank you everyone!! I'm finally post-op. Wasn't as bad as I imagined at all. I'm feeling pretty okay. Anesthesia has had he sleepy and groggy most of the day. In terms of pain, incision pain in minimal. Just feels like I did lots of push ups. Oh boy, but that has pain is a killer. It really hurts. Walking is the only solution. I've walked every chance I got and I'm going to continue to do that. Also, peeing every 10 minutes! Lol So happy I did this and I'm excited to start this new journey of my like. Thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and encouragement. [emoji173]

I'm so happy I decided to have my surgery Feb 20 2017 if I had to do it again I would without a doubt! This have really changed my life also! Congratulations to you and all of us that has decided to take control of our lives and not let bad food control our destiny [emoji3]

I'm sorry to hear about that. Just hang in there. Here, have a sugar free popsicle.

I'm only 5 days post op and I'm going with the gallbladder /hernia (that part is true) and the high protein low carbs. It's my business and feel like I don't have to explain myself
