Good points. It is just that I never feel full during this full liquid phase. So, I have been consuming too much of these things. I hope once I can move on to dense proteins, chicken breasts and lean meats I will feel satisfied. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I know its been a while but......New post! https://gastricbystander.wordpress.com/2017/09/09/its-been-a-while/

My Nutritionist told me I need to make sure I'm getting a minimum of 800 to 1,000 calories daily or I won't lose. Also, when exercising I need to make slight increases to my calorie and protein intake to account for it. Hope this helps... Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

IV Tylenol and advil are staples for bariatrics where I work. Every patient gets them (OFIRMEV and CALDOLOR) Im surprised they're not more commonly used tbh

Your body is just catching up, aslong as your getting enough water, and getting under 4 ounces you should be fine, everyones copacity varies but doesn't mean your doing it right or wrong compared to another, I was not able to have much at that stage perhaps 2 ounces max. It does no harm to track calories, what soft foods are you eating?

I don't know if everyone checks there but if you are interested I posted my before and after pics from my panniculectomy in the plastic surgery section. Stats: Highest: 540 Size 38 Surgery: 480 Size 32 Panni: 275 Size 24 pant 18 top Current: 248 Size 16 bottom and 14 top 15 pounds of skin removed

I did when I was at that stage. Walking is the best solution. Mine lasted for several days, maybe even a couple of weeks.

That is because of your liver dumping sugar. It will dump more sugar then you would have eaten sometimes. So it is better to eat then let it dump.

Of course! 8oz ricotta 1/2 cup cheese-- I used cheddar jack 1 large egg, beaten 1/4 cup fat free Greek yogurt 1/2 small can diced green chilies (mild) Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup shredded cheddar jack Lightly beat egg, add to all ingredients (except cheese for topping), mix well. Divide evenly into mini muffin tins. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 450 for 20 mins. Serve topped with a dollop of ff Greek yogurt. I did not find chiles too spicy or upsetting in any way--everyone is different I'm sure. I did freak out a little with the skins on the green chiles, but they really are already so mushy. This recipe was very much based on Eggface's recipe, which I also enjoy: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html?m=1 Though I used a sweet potato tomato sauce instead of marinara because I thought something less acidic would be a good idea (plus I just really enjoy the sauce): http://nataliaskitchen.net/sweet_potato_sauce/ Let me know how you like it!
