Hello! I had my Sleeve performed August 10 and came home on the 13th. I really struggled with nausea post-op, but there are not enough kind words to describe the amazing care of my doctor and nurses who really helped me push through it. My surgeon's protocol calls for two weeks of Clear Liquids after the sleeve, but at my follow-up appointment on Tuesday, he allowed me to add some of my Protein Shakes, as tolerated. That has really made a difference in my energy level. As has exercising. I'm taking it very easy, but trying to get in as much walking and elliptical as I can. I was down 12 lbs at my post-op appointment and let me tell you, it felt so good to see the scale tip below 250 for the the first time in several years. I'm going back to work on Monday and I'll start my soft/adaptive diet on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to talking to, and learning from, all of you during this very exciting time.

There is also a blueberry flavor that has big plump berries and I *think* 13 grams of Protein. This is by far my favorite yogurt and was a staple of my pre-op diet!

Have you tried logging? Keep a log of everything that you eat and drink, good and bad, and your exercise. I used to also have a log that tracked moods/stressors. This might help you to be more cognizant of what and when you are eating and the accountability should help you get back on track. Good luck to you!
