I started my protein shakes in phase 1, but alot of others didn't. It all depends on what your doctors meal plan is.

You will do great! Congrats

My surgery was 2/20/12. I know it sounds really early but it was my doctor who told me that it was ok to enjoy a "little" frozen yogurt week 2.

Yay Allie!!!!

Wow!!! You are absolutely adorable! I loved your before and after video, it really motivated me and makes me super excited to begin my journey. I had surgery on 2/20/12 and have lost 13lbs so far. I'm so proud for you and am so glad you are a part of this forum.

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on Monday 2/20/12 and today I am 13 lbs down. 10 lbs of that is losing all the fluid after surgery, but I'll take it ; ). Today I feel great, no pain, no nausea, no discomfort. I think I'm going to go do my walking on the beach today! I am having a very hard time getting all my fluids in but I know it will come. I feel so lucky to have you and this forum. To be able to talk to people who know EXACTLY what you're going through is priceless. I will check in again week two!

After you Psych eval things can move pretty quick, especially if you tell your surgeon you want to fast track this. The longest part is getting the clearance from insurance, then the eval, and your 2 week protein diet if you should have to do one. Good luck to you : )

Wow I cant believe the variations in the guidelines between doctors. I was told to start the protien drinks 3 days after surgery, plus drink the water. Getting that much water in has been extremely difficult. I am having a lot of trouble with that.

I'm so proud for you!!! And thank you for responding to my first post.

Thank you guys so much!!!! My husband took the scale out of the bathroom and will return it next week ...lol.
